Chicken

Chickens have been in the Dragon Cave since it first started. They are another of the special "dragons", in that they are not dragons at all. They are strictly female and therefore can't breed. TJ has stated he is a fan of the Harvest Moon games, and that these pets are a nod to them. Some fan theories to explain the presence of chickens have sparked unique projects, including the Ninja Chickens and Space Chickens (breeding projects that can be found on the forum).

Chickens are also unique in that they are the only species that has no separate ungendered and gendered hatchling sprites.
