Chicken since 2021-05-03.

Chicken before 2021-05-03.

chicken is a model entity available in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. This is an animated chicken. It moves around and plays some sounds by itself.

A player can +use it to make it follow them. When a new round starts, the chicken is preserved and spawns near its "owner". When it dies, the "owner" is notified in the chat.
It is normally spawned with pet_entity, but directly placing this entity will not require a Navigation Mesh.
It is one of the preserved entities, so if this entity is map placed and killed, it will not respawn, even between rounds. Use pet_entity to get around this.
Chickens spawn independently around the map in the Deathmatch game mode.

The chicken model has multiple color variants that can be set with this entity's skin KeyValue and/or Input with a value within 0-4.
