The Chicken Egg item summons and dismisses a Prairie Chicken, a chicken small pet that follows you around, meaning it is a non-combat pet and will not aid you in battle.

Source

Unlike most vanity pets, it is gained in a highly unusual method.

Every chicken you see in the game has a small chance of offering you a quest when you use the /chicken emote in front of it. If you cluck at a chicken enough, it will change from to Template:Friendly. When it does, talk to it to get  [1] CLUCK!. Note that the exclamation mark does not show up above the chicken unless you are very low level. Also, once the chicken has been clucked at enough, anyone nearby that chicken can get the quest for the brief time that the chicken is friendly.

A Prairie Chicken pet

For your own sanity, it is strongly suggested you write a macro that does /chicken over and over to activate this quest.

The quest requires you to get  [Special Chicken Feed] which you can by from Farmer Saldean in Westfall. Once you do, you can /cheer at any chicken (there are some near the farmer) and give the chicken the feed. The chicken will then lay a Chicken Egg, which you can take to summon a chicken at will.

Notes

It is not possible for a member of the Horde to get this quest, because the chicken changes to an Alliance NPC technically once it responds to your clucking, and stays yellow. It is however possible for a Horde player to pick up a chicken egg once it is on the ground and therefor it is possible for an Alliance player to do the quest and allow the Horde player to pick up the chicken egg.

Macro

This macro will do the chicken emote 50 times:

/run for i = 1, 50 do DoEmote("CHICKEN") end

Another macro that is less likely to lock UI, doing one emote per second, about 52 times:

/run f=CreateFrame("Frame") f.n=0 f.u = 0 f:SetScript("OnUpdate", function() t=GetTime() n=this.n if n > 50 then this:Hide() elseif t>this.u then this.u=t+1 this.n=n+1 DoEmote("CHICKEN") end end) f:Show()
