As a side note, and to be fair to chicken, my dad used to have one who was a "real" pet (of course at the time even the idea of "emotional support" by a pet or else was unknown). This chick used to come when called, jumped on my dad's lap on command, made "special" sounds for my father only and (it lived with the other chickens) for some reasons was always the first one to come out the henhouse in the morning and the last one to get into it in the evening. So - bar defining it an ESA for not paying something - that particular chicken actually was companion to my dad.
