That’s not how it works. All birds share a common ancestor that was a cousin to it, so they’re all equally related to it in terms of when they split off. For chickens to be more closely related to T. rex, they would have to share a more recent common ancestor with it than they do with other birds. That would also make T. rex a bird if you still wanted to count chickens as birds.

Conlanging is great for this because you can make and abandon basic sketches of languages forever.
