First you need some dinosaur DNA and sequence the entire genome. Then change the chicken’s genome (thousands if not millions of changes). I had to make 10 changes in one gene when I was working in biotech. It took several months.

What do you mean by "change"? A base change? You can introduce changes of thousands of bases in about a day and a half.
