Birds are the dinosaurs that didn’t get zapped by the low inside slider God put in the Yucatan, at the aforementioned 66 million year mark.

Not true. Factually speaking, eggs were about long before there were any “chickens”.

But was it the one at the K-T boundary, or a different one?

Well, yeah.
All those caveman fires caused it to happen and women and minorities were hardest hit!

May I remind you that dinosaurs were living here long before there were any recognized “chickens” (the species) running about, and I believe it has been firmly established that dinosaurs laid eggs.
Dunno what game you are going on about but you are a bit confused by things I believe.
Cheers! :)

Aha. So it could not have been simply a matter of slowly accumulated changes resulting from random mutation transcription errors, the unfit sorted out by natural selection.
Good thing those dinosaurs didn't develop shielding against Giant rocks from Outer Space, or we humans could have ended up being giant chicken feed.

Welcome, mate. Always been interested in Extinction Events, and this article caught My eye so of course I immediately thought of you and your interests. :)
Hope you find some tidbits worth pursuing in the article referenced.
Cheers!

JimSea had posted another article about bird survival of the K-T extinction boundary, and I’d pinged that to the same two lists, but this really was a good take on what I think is probably the same underlying story.
