No, the chickens have completely NOTHING to do with rex, or even raptors. I hate jurassic park and their stupid chicken and turkey theories! T-rex is an ancestor of today's biggest predatory birds, like ostriches and emus. About raptors, their closest ancestors are today's raptors, like eagles, hawks and falcons. Any other bird is more closely related to smaller dinosaurs like archaeopteryx, microraptor e.t.c.
I hope this helped!
(Sorry for the anger burst, it's not because of you but because the creators of jp and jw... that have convinced people that every true is a lie and every lie is a truth!! ):I )
(By the way, the rex is supposed to have lips XD)

Oh and I said chickens are descendants, because EVERY bird evolved from surviving dinosaurs of the extinction, some tyrannosaurs survived but died because they were too big to consume enough food for their mass. So they evolved to be smaller and eat food that suited their mass, apparently for some dinosaurs the path of the chicken was the way to go.

Nope. Dinosaurs are not descendants of EVERY bird, but they are divided in certain groups, from which each one evolved to a different class of birds, so... no chickens for everyone!

Analysis of a shred of 68-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex protein - along with that of 21 modern species and an extinct mastodon - confirms that dinosaurs share common ancestry with birds, particularly chickens and ostriches, and to a lesser extent, alligators.
It says chickens included, deal with it dude, chickens are related to Tyrannosaurids.

These busts are a year old dude, all of that I know already since then. But thanks I guess? I don't follow the Jurassic Park franchise's science, I follow today's palaeontologists finds, so all of this I know already. This picture is a year old and it wasn't meant to be completely realistic/up to date anyway? It was more of a fan art thing really.
Also, every bird today came from dinosaurs, meaning chickens are related to dinosaurs, no matter how distant that is. It's there.
Eagles and vultures came from the dromaeosaurid family, chickens and Turkey's have a closer relation to tyrannosaurs because of their structure, they just became more upright. Proteins within bones and birds have been compared to find the closest relations. Jurassic park said NOTHING about chickens either, just birds.
Anyway, there was NO need for an angry outburst like that, a year from now everyone's current "up to date" artwork will be outdated and will have the same level of flaws as this picture has. Are you going to go around to EVERY art piece and have a go at them over their year old drawings like you did with mine?
I didn't know about some of those things until 7 months or so ago, so I could upload an up to date piece right now if I really want to.
But what you have just done makes me not want to because a year later I don't want a dino-jerk to come onto it and shit all over it because it isn't up to date with current findings. Sorry but you have really annoyed me, even with that apology, the outburst was NOT needed.

Actually, they DID talk about chickens and turkeys
And it is like saying that sharks are descendants of trouts.
Each dino evolved into a different individual, not to all individuals.

Very vaguely they spoke about it but not enough for people to go all out on the theory.
Again there is proof of shared qualities and DNA in modern birds as there are dinosaurs.
Chickens included.
Here is a quote to prove it.

I like the detail on the neck and how it creates the effect of feathers!
