Chicken is one of the two main characters in Cow and Chicken, and is the most sane character of the show. He is voiced by Charlie Adler.
Biography
Chicken was born in a farm on April 23, 1984, though it is unknown if it's near Brooklyn or Boston since he got that Boston-Brooklyn hybrid accent. After being adopted by Mom and Dad, he met Cow four years later.
Personality
Cow's 11 year old brother, Chicken is often a grumpy and/or mean to his younger sister, and even to the rest of the family, particularly Dream Date Chicken and Chicken in the Bathroom, but he's otherwise laid-back most of the time. He goes to 5th grade in his school along with his best friends Flem and Earl.
Chicken is notably much more intelligent and sane than the other characters in the show, and has a powerful ego, though his selfish actions can actually come to others' help. An example of all these can be found in the episode "Comet!", where Chicken was the only one who walked normally (the other characters followed the Red Guy by using their buttocks instead of their legs), and later Chicken tricked all the others in belief that a deadly comet was coming to smash them all and sold "Shields" (rather cheap gadgets) to them, but after he witnessed Cow's farewell to her toys, Chicken felt guilty and confessed the scam. However, when a real deadly (but small) comet arrived, Chicken's protections actually worked and he was forgiven for his prank. Despite his powerful ego, he also has a strong conscience, usually only displayed when Cow is in danger.
He has a Boston-Brooklyn hybrid accent, which is why his speech is riddled with malapropisms and sarcasm. Despite being a male, he demonstrated the ability to lay eggs.
Like other chickens, he cannot fly, though he is afraid of flying on planes, as evident in Chickens Don't Fly.
Chicken is also the only character in the show who knows that his sister and Supercow are the same person and, despite his name, is a young anthropomorphic Hybrid white leghorn and Cornish rooster.
Like Cow, Chicken has also an alter ego, named Wonder Wattle; on his first appearance in Who Is Supercow?, Chicken needed to learn Spanish quick using his dictionary while saving Supercow. His second appearance on Cow's Magic Blanket has Wonder Wattle speaking Spanish a lot more correctly while saving his sister along with his best friends Flem and Earl.
Chicken is also very fond of ice skating, as seen in A Couple of Skating Fools.
Many people compare Chicken to Ren from The Ren and Stimpy Show, since both of them are grumpy.
