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 peaks. 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.

Ecology
Inns such as the Watchful Eye, in Espar, served chicken in pastries, and the Sleeping Cat, in Wheloon, served the meat in pies. .

One of the material components for the cloak of fear spell could be the tail feathers of a chicken. Mages could often (accidentally) transform themselves, or others, into a chicken.

Miscellaneous
One of the zulkirs of the Red Wizards, known as Merdrith, could animate a magical hut which had large chicken legs.
