Chicken is the name used by all Rosharans except the Shin to refer to all species of birds.[1] Some are in fact what would be called chickens on Earth.[2] Chickens are not native to Roshar, but were brought to the planet during the initial human migration from Ashyn.[3] Chickens mainly live in Shinovar, with very few found further east and none as far as Alethkar save for those brought by humans.[4] For instance, geese live in the Horneater Peaks, and Dalinar sees chickens during his visit to the Valley.[5]
Uses
Chickens are often edible, and are therefore an export of Shinovar.[6] Vstim trades with Thresh and potentially other Shin for chickens which he sells to the other nations of Roshar, particularly in the east according to Rysn.[7] Very expensive arrows may be fletched with chicken feathers.[8] Unkalaki arrows are fletched with geese feathers[9]; geese live in Horneater Peaks which is why the Unkalaki language has a word for goose.[5]
Adolin Kholin is known to eat chicken before duels.[10]
- Notable chickens
- Jeksonofnone, a bright green chicken brought by a Thaylen merchant to the Middlefest Fair which could say its name upon command.[11]
