Two quotes from the article:
> The research … does not aim to engineer flocks of hybrid ‘dino-chickens’ or to resurrect dinosaurs, says Bhart-Anjan Bhullar
> But applying these insights to engineering ‘dino-chickens’ has proved difficult, [Jack Horner] says. “We’re having a little more trouble with the tail. There are so many components.” Other anatomical features could be altered by tinkering with development proteins, Horner adds. “It gives us a lot of opportunities to think about making new kinds of animals.”
I think this means that Bhart-Anjan Bhullar does not aim to engineer flocks of dino-chickens, but that Jack Horner does.
