Since the chickenosaurus thread became derailed by ignorant morons, I decided to make a separate thread so we can discuss the tail atavism in birds.

According to this paper, by Larsson and Horner, there have been no experiments so far that have been able to extend the number of vertebrae in a chicken tail. If it turns out that it is impossible to reverse the shortening of the chicken's tail, then the whole concept of the chickenosaurus goes out the window.
