Domesticated birds raised for eggs and meat, or slang for cowardly people.
From Old English 'cicen,' possibly from Germanic root related to 'chick.' The bird name dates back over a thousand years.
Chickens are smarter than most people assume—they recognize individual human faces and have a complex social hierarchy with over 30 different vocalizations!
