I had to read that book for my science fiction english class... it was that. They had split animals. And chickens that were just chunks pf meat all connected to each other passing eggs around and other weird things.

Yeah, there was something called 'pigoons' they referenced frequently. Forgot about the chickens though...gross...

Alestair Reynold's Revelation space has Hyperpigs as a species.
http://www.technovelgy.com/ct/content.asp?Bnum=1676
Somewhere before the dawn of the Demarchist era, in the twenty-first or twenty-second century, not far from the time of Clavain's own birth, a spectrum of human genes had been spliced into those of the domestic pig. The intention had been to optimise the ease with which organs could be transplanted between the two species, enabling pigs to grow body parts that could be harvested later for human utilisation... The genetic intervention had gone too far, achieving not just cross-species compatibility but something entirely unexpected: intelligence.
