A chicken is a bird that is commonly domesticated for food. Chickens are one of the few birds that cannot fly. Other notable exceptions include the emu and the penguin. Chickens lay eggs.
A rooster is a male chicken. Roosters received their names due to the tendency of roosters to "roost" over a clutch of eggs.
Unlike other creatures, chickens are able to survive for some time without their heads. Chickens are mentioned in the Bible:
- O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! (Matthew 23:37)
