 The chicken (''Gallus domesticus'') is a large and round short-winged bird, domesticated from the red junglefowl of Southeast Asia around 8,000 years ago - female chickens are known as hens, while males are known as roosters. Chickens are common and widespread domestic animals, with a total population of 23.7 billion as of 2018, and an annual production of more than 50 billion birds; a hen bred for laying can produce over 300 eggs per year. Most chickens are raised for food, providing meat and eggs, while others are kept as pets or used for cockfighting.

-A '''chicken''' is a monster added in the [[Lethe patch]] and [[SLASH'EM]].  Feeding it [[vegan]] food may tame it.  Contrary to what one might expect, they cannot lay [[egg]]s, and no eggs will hatch as chickens.
+A chicken has a single bite attack.
 ==Strategy==
-While not a threat in and of itself, chickens share a glyph with the [[instadeath]]-causing [[chickatrice]].  Players should very careful not to mistake a chickatrice for a chicken, therefore.  Both tend to appear in small groups.
+The chicken's [[speed]] of 15 can make groups of them somewhat dangerous to early heroes, but they can reliably be pacified by throwing [[ration]]s at them, and are generally not a major threat overall. Regardless, care should be taken not to mistake them for the much more dangerous [[chickatrice]], which can also be generated in small groups.
