    Not really there is a well defined line that defines what is/isn’t a chicken, that’s really the only thing needed for this question.

    The issue is the term proto-chicken isn’t well defined.

    But for it to be considered a different species it would have to not be able to reproduce with a modern chicken (which doesn’t mean it can’t reproduce with early chickens).

      You’ll have no problem citing the exact definition then.
