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. The sheep fields will normally have far fewer people than the location next to the cow field. A chicken is one of the weakest monsters in RuneScape, only having 1 health point more than a rat. Chickens grant 12xp for attack, strength, or defense depending on the attack style.

Chickens drop raw chicken for Cooking, bones for Prayer, and 5 to 15 feathers for Fishing or Fletching. Because of this, killing chickens can be profitable for low level players. They are also helpful for earning a small amount of money because feathers can sell anywhere from 8-12 coins, and feathers stack in your inventory. Chickens count as birds for a Slayer assignment and can be assigned by Turael.

Many low-level players also kill chickens for combat experience, as they have very low defence and rarely do any damage. Chickens will sometimes try to retreat when they have 1 health point left. The chicken farm in Lumbridge is often crowded.

In most populated worlds, chicken coops are often full of bones, feathers, eggs, and raw chicken 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 the Canifis and Port Sarim food stores and is required in several quests.
