Exactly not. There is a big difference based on the scientific classification of chicken and dinosaur. Have a look.

Scientific Classification of Dinosaur:
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Sauropsida
Subclass: Diapsida
Infraclass: Archosauromorpha
(unranked) Archosauria
(unranked) Ornithodira
Superorder: Dinosauria

Orders & Suborders:
Saurischia
Sauropodomorpha
Theropoda
Ornithischia
Thyreophora
Ornithopoda
Marginocephalia

Scientific Classification of Chicken:
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Aves
Order: Galliformes
Family: Phasianidae
Genus: Gallus
Species: G. gallus
Subspecies: G. g. domesticus

If you said "birds" maybe I will consider to agree with you as there is significant evidence that birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs, specifically, that birds are members of Maniraptora, a group of theropods which includes dromaeosaurs and oviraptorids. Read further in wikipedia/birds. Look at the reference below).

There is an almost universal consensus among paleontologists that birds are the descendants of theropod dinosaurs. Using the strict cladistical definition that all descendants of a single common ancestor are related, modern birds are dinosaurs and dinosaurs are, therefore, not extinct. Modern birds are classified by most paleontologists as belonging to the subgroup Maniraptora, which are coelurosaurs, which are theropods, which are saurischians, which are dinosaurs.

But for anyone who doesn't care about scientific classifications, you make some sense in your question based on the fact that chicken are closely related to birds and we can even say they are almost the same. Check out this link and you will tell yourself that the question you asked is not stupid, you are just being wise.♥http://www.firstscience.com/SITE/review_dinobirds.asp

A species IS named in taxamony , thereby _ the wild fowl(chicken) and the water fowl are two different species. Phenotypically distinct ,, and correctly distinct _ and cannot be otherwise.

The confusion is where the genome of the fowl looks suspiciously similar to the raptor's from the days of the dinosaur. Like we cannot tell a chimpanzee from a Man ..if both were presented as gene-maps ! Thereon , Science went about to " look " at species through gene maps __ using computers to do the gene matching .. (because you got to sort out the reshuffling ,, of unknown lenghts) ,, and if you can remember that IT IS this gene matching technique that discovered (beyond all probability) that the dolphin IS related to the elephant.

This kind of close matches has much more sense and use in the light of the ..hox clusters

Hox cluster duplications and the opportunity for evolutionary novelties
Gunte P. Wagner,*† Chris Amemiya,‡ and Frank Ruddle*

,, the hox is the mains switch of the genome ,, thereby it is "theoretically" possible to make a bird from the raptor ,, and vice-versa. Especially the chick of the fowl ,, has the dimensions of the dinasaur. (The dimensional ratio , the fibonachi , the plan) of the dinosaur.

**We do not know the status of the hox for Man/chimpanzee OR dolphin/elephant , ,

** Yet the hox could well mean we could measure .."maturity" across the races and begin with the explanation for the 5% higher muscle density of the White compared to the Asiatics. The lifelong ..puppy fat of the dog. The phenomena in the domestication of the Russian mink fox. bla , bla. (anyone for research topic?)

No, I disagree.


Some scientists believe that birds (like the chicken) evolved from certain dinosaurs. They are not of the same species, or even the same class.

Well read this, then you can decide. I say the picture looks very much like a chicken with a tail.
