So he is growing a giant chicken?

somewhat... he’s making chicken embryos express latent genetic traits like dinosaur-like tails. The embryos are all terminated before they would hatch, though the scientist does admit at one point that if he could figure out how to make a chicken embryo develop into a dinosaur (which is apparently theoretically possible, which is what the article is essentially about) he’d probably want to allow one to hatch, at least once.

Aah, from reading the article a little more closely, it says

He hopes it will coax the embryo to grow a big tail. A dinosaur-like tail.

Now why a guy would want a chicken with a big 'ol giant lizard tail, I have no idea...except;

Maybe they'd be easier to manage than alligators?

If this works, one could open up really bitchin' fried "alligator" tail/fried chicken stand.

It could work(!), as long as one didn't forget to also offer up good biscuits, beans, and coleslaw, too.
