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.

It is useful in dropping raw chicken for Cooking and Summoning, bones for prayer, and 5 to 15 feathers for fishing or fletching. Many players buy feathers for fishing or fletching, so you can make a profit by killing many chickens. Also you can kill these if you get a slayer task for Birds.

Many newer players also kill chickens for combat experience, as they are low-level and rarely do any damage (and even when they do, they cannot hit over one hitpoint of health). Even if you are a higher levelled player, they can still be useful for food, if you find yourself low on health when near a chicken coop, or as a source of feathers for fletching or fishing.

Chickens would sometimes try to retreat when it is at 1HP, though it is not common as people might often deal 3HP to them at a time.

In most populated free play worlds, chicken coops are full of bones and raw chicken, which are dropped by players training on the chickens. If one chooses to bury the bones and cook the chicken, they will gain a considerable amount of Prayer and Cooking experience. Raw chicken can also bought from Canifis and Port Sarim food stores.
