Cool stuff. Cheng-Ming is an old buddy of mine from Rockefeller University 
days. He's always involved in strange chicken development experiments.

Makes me wonder, could the old phrase, "rare as hen's teeth" have a basis in 
fact? Some kind of revertant-mutation? Now, if we can just find a toothy 
chicken with unguals and a little more tail . . .
