Scientists have proved poultry is evolving faster than ever thought possible and that the genes of White Plymouth Rock chickens (two shown above) have mutated twice within a period of just half a century

Evolving into what? A chicken into a chicken with a few different chicken characteristics. Nothing to see here despite what a few would say......

Chickens are domestic animals, so do they count?

Scientists discover the birds have developed two mutations in just 50 years …
And that is where the science stops.

I, for one, welcome our new Chicken Overlords.
And I would remind them, as an experienced forum participant, I can craft amusing and informative posts that will help them round up humans to toil in their vast chicken-feed yards.

It's called selective breeding.

Scientists discover the birds have developed two mutations in just 50 years Genes of White Plymouth Rock chickens mutated twice in 50 years Oh, my. Considering that DNA mutates randomly and spontaneously all the time, and that only the presence of redundant DNA repair mechanisms keeps the DNA relatively unchanged... I would say that whoever wrote this has the level of scientific knowledge one would expect from a high school student who only took the biology class because it was a graduation requirement, and barely passed it.
On average, there are 150-200 DNA mutations per offspring that did not exist in either parent. And chicken generations are awfully short--whoever said that there were only 2 mutations in the last 50 years probably does not have a functional DNA sequencer.

The article doesn’t say what these two mutations are.
I’ll bet one mutation was extra crispy and the other mutation was some little orange chicken safety vests so they can cross the road.
