We're already resurrecting the mammoth, which I find funny. However, they need about 50 years or so before the first mammoth which is genetically 99.7% (or something) similar to the original DNA a mammoth got. They're injecting DNA from mammoths to elephant-eggs, but only parts of it. Well, uh, they dissect the DNA of both animals, and clip them back in. They're using the elephant since it's the animal with the closest genes to the mammoth.
However, if a chicken is the closest related living animal to a t-rex... It would take time to make a T-rex. Looking on the bright side though, we'll have a lot of funny chickens on the market in the near future if this happens.
