==Cultural associations==
Culturally, in most English-speaking countries, chickens are associated with [[cowardice]]. It is unclear how this association began, or what behaviors exhibited by real-life chickens are considered to be cowardly; nonetheless, a reference to chickens is often found to be an effective way to mock a cowardly person, whether calling him or her "chicken", ostentatiously imitating a chicken, or making more complex quips such as that a cowardly proponent of [[evolution]] seems to have evolved into a chicken.
