Chicken is an obsolete silver-bordered creature type and current celebration card creature type used for cards which depict a type of domesticated fowl.

History

Chicken debuted as a creature type in Unglued but was later removed as a type during the Grand Creature Type Update when its only cards were errataed to be Birds instead. However, it was later also included on a celebration card as a type for the non-legal limited Robot Chicken card.
