Errors in the copies are called birth defects. You're basically arguing that non flying creatures had birth defects that made them grow wings and suddenly were able to fly.

More or less. I'm suggesting evolutionists argue that should a creature have a birth defect which happens to be beneficial, then in further generations that inherited birth defect may be refined to become more and more beneficial. Perhaps one little dinosaur had a defect that caused it to grow long furry scales, but this helped it keep warm so it survived and reproduced. More defects accumulated and the functionality of this special scales increased and could even help the little dinosaur leap and glide between trees? End product: Dinosaurs replace bees as humming birds.

No, it IS impossible. There's ZERO chance of it ever occurring. That's why NOBODY has ever seen it occur nor will they ever.

That's the essence of my point on why rhinos/dodos don't 're-evolve'.

Chicken eggs ARE exclusive to chickens though so your point is completely irrelevant. Just like the eggs of each type of creature that lays them is unique to that specific creature.
How the fuck would a creature that doesn't lay eggs know how to make one? Does it just go "hmm should would be a good idea if I produced eggs". Either it lays eggs or it doesn't. There's no fucking way it's just going to start laying eggs one day. All of the components for egg laying have to be there simultaneously.

A genetic defect again that causes the creature to be covered in some kind of protective layer. Perhaps especially slimey mucus. Over generations perhaps a further defect would be for this mucus to have a leathery skin? Other further generations this skin becomes more calcified for extra protection?

Think long and hard about this quote. How the fuck does an eye slowly evolve? There are thousands of parts that make up an eye. How would a creature even know that it needs eyes when it doesn't have any idea what sight even is? Like god damn, use your brain please.

Good question. As a thought experiment, how would you imagine a type of creature goes from no eyes to eyes? Don't be afraid to include plenty of intermediary stages and don't forget that each successive mutation needs to be beneficial in its own right !
