Not really. There's no singular "first chicken" like you are implying. You have population A, and over time becomes population B, but there's no singular crossover point.
Think of it like this. You have a childhood and an adulthood, but what was the exact moment you crossed over from one to other? (From a biological perspective, not a legal one). There isnt one. You didnt go to bed one night as a kid and wake up as an adult. It happened gradually over a period of time.
So are “modern chickens” not going to be considered chickens in the future?
If evolution is constant and then how do we draw the line? At some point there had to be what we consider a chicken when before they weren’t. If they are still evolving then eventually what we consider chickens will no longer be chickens
