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. Feathers are often bought for these purposes, so it is possible to make profit by selling chickens' feathers. Chickens count as birds for a slayer assignment.
Many low-level players also kill chickens for combat experience, as they have very low defence and rarely do any damage (and even when they do, they cannot hit over one hitpoint of health). Even high levelled players may find chickens useful for food if they find themselves low on health near a chicken coop as a cooked chicken will provide 3 hp. Chickens will sometimes try to retreat when they have 1 hitpoint left.
In most populated free-to-play worlds, chicken coops are often full of bones and raw chicken which are left by players training on the chickens. If one chooses to bury the bones and cook the chicken, they will gain a decent amount of Prayer and Cooking experience. Raw chicken can be bought from Canifis and Port Sarim food stores and is required in several quests.
