What does Chicken 🐔 mean?

Represents chickens or farm themes, and informally can imply cowardice ('being a chicken').

Like the rest of the Animals & Nature category, it renders slightly differently across Apple, Google, and Samsung keyboards, though the core meaning stays consistent. It tends to read differently in a casual group chat than it would in a work message, so it's worth considering the audience before sending it. It's frequently used near emojis like Turkey and Rooster, which cover similar ground.
