These are aligator like teeth in the mouth of the developing chick.
Certainly this is a moment of miracle and wonder.
Did the pope comment on this bit of news?
What about those creationist?

All chickens have a tooth when they hatch; it's called an egg tooth, and it's to help them get out of their shell; however, it's on the TOP of the beak, and it disappears shortly afterward. There are LOTS of genes that are still in the DNA makeup of all creatures that are "switched off" by short leading DNA sequences (most of the time). Remove or alter those short controller sequences, and the old characteristics assert themselves and are expressed. Our entire evolutionary history is written in our genes; it's not like we threw them out when we got tired of them; they just got replaced/overridden/modified with something different, and usually better.

There is always an exclamation if you just look for it..
Chickens have one tooth at hatching that helps them break out of their shell. This tooth then drops off
