cowardice
As pets, chickens are generally easy to take care of with a minimum of care required. It is possible to have a hen or rooster that lives in your home, although defecation (which occurs about once every half hour) may make this more frustrating and messy than anything else. It is generally easiest to keep a chicken (or flock of chickens) in a coop.

==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.
