Unfortunately for chickens, the representation is not a positive one.
Most humans endeavor to avoid any association between themselves and the character of a chicken.
Indeed, the mere mention of chickens brings to mind a frantic, frightened, unintelligent animal running in circles screaming at the top of its pitiful lungs. Personally, I hope that I would have a bit more dignity in expressing chagrin over the matter of the sky falling. One generally thinks of chickens as females. This is because most of the chickens that manage to live productive lives are females. Females are, after all, the only birds capable of egg production.
