chickens
Eggs come from
Chickens are domesticated fowl raised for meat and eggs, among the most common farm animals worldwide.
The plural often refers to the birds as food or livestock: We keep chickens in the backyard, roast chickens.
To count your chickens before they hatch is to assume success prematurely.
Calling someone a chicken means they're cowardly: Don't be such a chicken.
To chicken out is to lose nerve: He chickened out at the last minute.
