It's evolving to its next natural stage.

In a sense, you aren't wrong. Evolution is mutations + natural selection. Most don't, but if this one conferred a reproductive advantage, you could get a burgeoning population of quadruped chickens.

I wonder what kind of things we could make if we were really, really trying. I get the ethical issues but, like, find the gene on this guy that’s mutated, do it to thousands of chicks, pick the functional ones, breed them, etc. I would pay quite a lot for a pet griffin, even if it was chicken sized
