Chicken

A chicken was a domesticated, flightless bird that could be found in many places across Faerûn.

Description
These small creatures were covered in feathers, and had small beaks. Chickens were valued not only for their flesh but also for the eggs they laid, and were considered a delicacy in many farms and cities.

Usages

 * Inns such as the Watchful Eye in Espar served chicken in pastries, and the Sleeping Cat in Wheloon served the meat in pies.
 * In Neverwinter, chicken liver was one of the many common fillings used in savory pies.
