A '''chicken''', {{white|c}}, is a type of [[monster]] that appears in [[SpliceHack]]. The chicken is a [[domestic]] [[herbivorous]] [[animal]] that is part of the [[Cockatrice (monster class)|cockatrice]] monster class—male chickens are known as '''roosters''', though they are always generated as female. It is [[oviparous]], capable of [[flight]], has a tendency to wander while moving, and can be seen via [[infravision]].

A chicken has a single bite attack.

==Generation==
Randomly generated chickens may be created as peaceful towards [[neutral]] [[hero]]es, and can appear in small [[group]]s.

==Strategy==
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.

==Origin==
{{wikipedia}}
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.

The encyclopedia entry is derived from a minstrel song called "Rufus Rustus Johnson Brown", written in 1905 by Andrew B. Sterling and Harry Von Tilzer.
