The basic content relating to cock birds should be in our chicken page, which should also have links to various subtopics such as cockfighting and Long-crowing chickens. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:48, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
- Support. Per nom. PyroFloe (talk) 18:41, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
- Support. The main article isn't that large. 🐔 Chicdat Bawk to me! 12:38, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
- Support A rooster is just a male chicken so should be on the chicken page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:1001950cats$ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1001950cats$ (talk • contribs) 20:12, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
- Support - A rooster is basically a male chicken, just as a hen is a female chicken. Therefore the articles should be merged. Hansen SebastianTalk 06:18, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
- support the rooster article is very small it seems, and a merge would do no harm. Firestar9990 (talk) 04:10, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
- Support The article on rooster is already very short and can easily be merged into this one. It is also more reasonable to have info on both hen and rooster in one article, as they are technically both chickens. We have done so for other animals in which males and females are known by different names, including lion, turkey, etc. Keivan.fTalk 03:05, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
- Support - the article is extremely short anyway, little reason for separation. FunkMonk (talk) 13:46, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose. I could go either way, but I think this is similar to Bull. Rooster can be briefly discussed in Chicken, but the animal is treated separately in many cultures. It is a symbol and unique enough to be treated separately from hens, mostly noted for their egg-laying, and not as much a cultural symbol. UserTwoSix (talk) 20:33, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
- Well, chickens are both hens and roosters. 🐔 Chicdat Bawk to me! 12:19, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose The rooster has a very distinct cultural identity from Chickens which warrants a separate article. Qazwsx777 (talk) 17:04, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- Support. Roosters are just male chickens. 24.150.136.254 (talk) 20:35, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose. The Rooster page clearly states that roosters are just male chickens.Countryboy603 (talk) 20:58, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
- Support And I would be willing to carry out the merge. The rooster article is mostly content that should be here. If we need, we could make a page like "Chickens in culture" or "Roosters in culture", but even then I don't think there's enough material for that. A rooster is not sufficiently different from a hen to warrant its own article. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 14:23, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
- Support. This will definitely make the Chicken article better. Wretchskull (talk) 13:38, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- Support. At the moment, portions of the article read like a dictionary entry, and the encyclopedic portions (cockfighting, crowing, and crowing contests) can be covered in the chicken article. Fredlesaltique (talk) 05:41, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- Support but have a section for both hens and rooster--Cs california (talk) 01:29, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
Done Since this was up since December, and there is majority support, I have merged all the content from Rooster and made a redirect. UserTwoSix (talk) 02:08, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

Hen and chicks is a type of plant. Perhaps that should be distinguished on the page? 🐔 Chicdat Bawk to me! 13:51, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
- See hen and chicks. 🐔 Chicdat Bawk to me! 13:51, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
- For See also, at most. I must say (though I grow both genii mentioned), here in the UK I've never heard the name. Johnbod (talk) 15:49, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Replace Turkey with Armenia. The chicken and Turkey is like saying Columbus left his homeland to come to the Unites States. Asia Minor or Armenia existed long before the post-genocide Republic of Turkey. It is ridiculous to use the term which is based on an invading and genocidal republic a few decades old, when Armenia or Asia Minor are Both Geographical terms. E.g. Armenian highlands, Asia Minor, Armenia. Turkey is not a proper term when referring to events occurring literally thousands of years before the genocidal invaders stepped foot in Armenia. 64.53.178.85 (talk) 13:32, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
- The article says present-day Turkey, indicating that there were other states in that region before the Republic of Turkey came into existence (and as far as I know they were the Ottomans and the Byzantines so the current statement is correct). And I don't know what all of this has to do with a crime committed by a government that has now been overthrown for a century. Don't make it political. Keivan.fTalk 03:12, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

Could I please add some of my personal observations from living with chickens to this page? 193.1.201.2 (talk) 10:08, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 10:15, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
Too many widelies
This sentence has an extra 'widely' that should be omitted: During the Hellenistic period (4th-2nd centuries BC), in the Southern Levant, that chickens began widely to be widely domesticated for food.[2] TomTattles (talk) 13:26, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

Add the chicken definition as well, it was originally ciccen in Old English. Becoming chicken as the Cs and CHs when they came before an i just like Italian. Once was referring to a group of chickens or chicks. ChickenResearcher (talk) 18:11, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. ◢ Ganbaruby! (talk) 18:20, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
