Chicken are long-domesticated birds that were raised by farmers for food.
Background
Chickens were widely thought to be extinct especially in areas such as the Capital Wasteland, however some survived in a homemade underground bunker and led short lives on the surface protected by the short-lived residents of the hilltop farm ruins after the Great War. In other less desolate environments such as Appalachia they survived in a more natural fashion and are even considerably more common.
Characteristics
Chickens are gregarious, domesticated fowl reared for meat and eggs. They were the most common and widespread domesticated animals whose ancestors were domesticated thousands of years ago. Male chickens are known as roosters, while female chickens are known as hens. The hens lay eggs, which are fertilized by the rooster. Fertilized eggs, kept under the right temperature via the intervention of a hen or a climate-controlled environment, eventually produce infant chickens, known as chicks.
Variants
(Rad) chicken
These chickens have been exposed to high levels of radiation, leaving them atrophied and naked. They are slightly smaller than their pre-War ancestors, and pose no threat whatsoever.
Notes
- Mom in Fallout 2 referring to radscorpion en croute as tasting "like chicken."
- Rose refers to a caged deathclaw as a "chicken" as the source of the eggs for her famous omelet, known as the wasteland omelet by Jas Wilkins in Fallout: New Vegas.
- Chickens are referred to in the hilltop farm ruins terminal entries in Fallout 3.
- Armitage tells the Lone Wanderer that he could "break [their] neck like a chicken bone."
A chicken leg can be found outside Gabe's doghouse as part of the Old World Blues quest A Brain's Best Friend, if the player character has the Wild Wasteland trait.- There is a drawing of a chicken, cow, and horse used in a framed picture near Bunker Hill in Fallout 4. The same drawing appears at an unmarked trapper outpost northwest of the MS Azalea, in the add-on Far Harbor.[1]
- Chickens are referenced in graffiti found in Fallout Tactics, stating "HUMANS TASTE LIKE CHICKEN."
Appearances
Chickens are mentioned in Fallout 2, Fallout 3, the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues and Fallout 4. Live chickens appear in the Fallout 4 add-on Far Harbor and in Fallout 76.
