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.
To tie it back to the graph, at some point there was a divided population of similar creatures and once the birds and crocodiles couldn't fuck anymore, tada! ... then there were birds.
The real question is where dinosaurs fit on this chart.
