A new family tree based on protein sequences recovered from dinosaur fossils firms up the dinosaur's avian lineage.<br />"Palaeontologists have known this overall connection. We have now confirmed it with molecular data," says John Asara, a biochemist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, who led the study.<br />His team compared sequences of a collagen protein recovered from a 68 million-year old T. rex fossil and a half-million year old mastodon (a kind of extinct elephant) with those same sequences from 21 modern animals - including chicken, alligator, elephant and human.<br />may be an explanation for the egg size at lease? and eating ice?Carinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01060719708064081485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4771557388430184941.post-69681675672428596182013-03-26T11:07:28.202-06:002013-03-26T11:07:28.202-06:00They are craving sno-cones! :D
Theresa...chickens...They are craving sno-cones! :D<br /><br />Theresa...chickens are omnivorous and have been known to cannibalize each other. They are scavengers. It's a dirty chicken secret most people don't know, which is why I always chuckle and shake my head when I see eggs advertised as coming from chickens that eat a "vegetarian" diet. Chickens are NOT vegetarians. The things I've watched my chickens eat...oh boy! I love 'em and love the eggs, no matter what they decide to gobble up.

Woke up in the middle of the night and had the image of two of your hens, a brown and a white one, in my mind, and wondered how your "girls" were doing (esp. the one who laid that ginormous egg). I admit I gasped when I saw today's post!! Oh well, as long as I don't hear the grass grow in the back 40, I guess we can just file this under WTH? and not worry about it. ;-) sundognoreply@blogger.com
