Best Answer

Actually, the smallest known dinosaurs were even smaller than chickens. Epidexipteryx weighed only 0.36 lb, and was less than 10 inches long. You are probably referring to Compsognathus, which was actually somewhat larger than a chicken (the chicken sized estimate was based on a fossil of a juvenile before it was realized that the individual was not fully grown).

What dinosaur was the king of dinosaurs?

As you probably know, the time of the dinosaurs is divided into three main periods: The Triassic, the Jurassic, and the Cretaceous. Thus there was NO "king of dinosaurs". They all lived in different periods, though most people seem to think it was the Tyrannosaurus Rex, as it was the largest dinosaur. However, now, Giganotosaurus is proven to be much larger than Tyrannosaurus.
