Chicken

A Chicken is a level 1 monster found in many areas, most notably the chicken coops near Lumbridge and the shack next to the sheep fields. The sheep fields will normally have far fewer people than the location next to the cow field.

A chicken is one of the weakest monsters in 2006scape, only having 1 hitpoint more than a rat.

Chickens drop Raw chicken, Bones, and 5-15 feathers. Eggs typically spawn in the area near chickens.

Many low-level players also kill chickens for combat experience, as they have very low defence and rarely do any damage. Even high-level players may find chickens useful for food if they find themselves low on health near a chicken coop, as eating a cooked chicken provides 3 hit points. Chickens will sometimes try to retreat when they have 1 hitpoint left. The chicken farm in Lumbridge is often crowded.

Trivia

 * When the pre-alpha server was first released Chickens had unlimited hitpoints and were therefore unable to be killed by players. This bug only lasted for 5 minutes and was fixed shortly after.
