The dinosaurs/birds connection is useful for teaching evolution. IIRC, today's birds are the descendants of the flying dinosaurs of yore.

I think we all chickens!!! Because you are what you eat!! Am I right?

I'm beginning to wonder when this hatched from one of our chicken's eggs.

All birds are actually dinosaurs. There were archosaurs, from which the crocodilians descended, but also (among many others) the dinosaurs, to wich today's birds also belong. So, birds are the only extant class of the clade of the dinosaurs.

No, but the first bird, Archaeopteryx, evolved from the same ancestor as the dinosaurs. Good question!

There is a definite evolutionary link between reptiles and birds, but no, chickens are not dinosaurs.

Technically, no... chickens descended from dinosaurs, but they are "dinosaurs" only in the sense that humans are "apes."

They're not reptilian so no. Did you know when dinosaurs were alive grass didn't exist?

if they are the are the pussiest dinosaurs ever

  I was not aware of this. What is a clade?

  @QueenofCups A clade is a group of different types of animals that all have a common ancestor.

No, but the first bird, Archaeopteryx, evolved from the same ancestor as the dinosaurs.

Good question!

  Let me see if it now has a name. This is really recent- within the past two years. My kids are avid dino fans. Will get back to you on that.

  Archaeopteryx is also now thought to be more of a dino than a bird.

  No, birds are dinosaurs. Dinosaurs (along with crocodilians and many others) descended from archosaurs. You can look it up in any updated biology book, or even at Wikipedia.
