| |||||||||
Chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a domesticated fowl, a subspecies of the Red Junglefowl, and one of the most common and widespread domestic animals in the world.
Background[]
Although no physical chickens appear in any Fallout game, they are mentioned in the present tense. As they are a staple of the human diet.[1] For example Modoc, where Rose passes her famous[2] Wasteland omelet as chicken egg. Even going so far as to only refer to her "Chicken" as a chicken and its cage as a "chicken coop".[2] Although this doesn't really fool the more attentive locals, not because chickens are nonexistent but because of her heavily fortified "chicken coop".[3]
As a staple chicken is a widely known flavor,[4] including but not limited to Vault dwellers,[5] and tribals.[6]
On Mount Desert Island there exists a population of "rad chickens" that closely resemble pre-War chickens with little mutation.

Although some chicken may be mutated, the majority are not.[7]
Notes[]
- Chicken are referred to in the Hilltop farm ruins terminals.
- Rose refers to a caged deathclaw as a "chicken"[8] as the source of the eggs for her famous omelet. (See Kill the "chicken".)
- Jas Wilkins in Fallout: New Vegas confirms that the Chosen One shot the "chicken" in the eyes, killing the creature.[9] and wishes to try the recipe. Hiring the Courier to acquire a deathclaw egg for a copy of the recipe.
- A chicken leg can be found outside Gabes doghouse as part of the quest A Brain's Best Friend, if the Courier has taken the Wild Wasteland trait.
- Armitage in Fallout 3 claims that he will "snap your neck like a chicken bone" if they lay a hand to Doctor Zimmer,[10] and Mom in Fallout 2 referring to something as tasting "like chicken." Meaning that knowledge and even the taste of chicken can be recalled by some after the Great War.[4]
Appearances[]
Actual chickens appear in the Fallout 4 add-on Far Harbor, as well as Fallout 76. They are also referred to in Fallout 3, sarcastically in Fallout, Fallout 2 as taste and Fallout Tactics in the form of Graffiti. It is also a term referring someone as being afraid and/or a coward.

I don't know how she managed to get a hold of a female Deathclaw, but she kept it in a shed. Aunt Rose had a steady supply of eggs for her omelets. At least, she did until some stranger came along and killed the Deathclaw. Shot it right in the eye."
