Collages like Iowa state university are teaching kids how to make hybrid animals. They start by modifying chickens and hens. When they modify the chickens and hens it changes stuff with their eggs that they lay.

They also make hybrid animals in a science lab and that's not a good way to see how they can react with the wildlife and other animals and tell if the hybrids can even survive in the wild without the help of zookeepers or scientists. This means that they almost live at zoos or in science labs since it can't live in the wild.
