    Proto-chicken>chicken>eschato-chicken

    Chickens have “evolved” in recent years more than recent centuries

    We just keep the chicken name but at what point do they become a different animal.

    Evolution is slow and has no definite point in time of “First official example of a 2000s definition of a chicken”

    It’s similar to the paradox of the heap.

    Of course a “chicken” layed the first chicken egg. But if we called that “chicken” a chicken then her egg would be the first chicken egg. Not the one she just layed.
