It's not that simple. You would need to test each gene one by one in a chicken embryo or cell culture to see if it is functional, and if it is, you have to know what it does. Often, it is not the genes themselves that matter, but regulatory elements like promoters and enhancers. Even so, genes can often have unexpected effects.
