Chicken will grow teeth when pigs can fly.

Well, better start searching the skies for flying pork — scientists have discovered a mutant chicken with a full set of crocodile-like chompers.

Researchers also tweaked the genes of normal chickens to grow teeth.

The mutant chick, called Talpid, also had severe limb defects and died before hatching.

Although it was discovered 50 years ago, no one had ever examined its mouth.

"What we discovered were teeth similar to those of crocodiles — not surprising as birds are the closest living relatives of the reptile," said Mark Ferguson of the University of Manchester, England.
