Chickens

Chickens are domestic birds that serve as food for humans.

Description
Chickens hold two uses in agriculture: they lay eggs and they are butchered for their meat. While docile domestic animals are rarely of interest for heroes, they serve their part in a more mundane way as part of almost every farm's lifestock.

Their appearance throughout the series did not change significantly. In Ultima VII, chickens lay eggs and farmer Mack would pay the Avatar for collecting them.

Trivia

 * Amusingly enough, in Ultima IX, chickens are unkillable. Regardless which kind of attack, they would shrug it off and go on as if nothing is wrong.
