"Chicken is a 2015 British drama film directed by Joe Stephenson. It is based on the play of the same name by Freddie Machin. Plot The film follows Richard (Scott Chambers), a fifteen-year-old boy with learning difficulties who lives in a shabby caravan with his older brother, Polly. Life for the siblings is harsh, with the engaging, nature-loving teenager yearning for stability. Richard frequently finds himself on the wrong side of Polly's destructive, often violent moods. Richard finds it easier to communicate with animals – none more so than his beloved hen, Fiona. He forms a strong friendship with rebellious seventeen-year-old Annabel, whose family have recently acquired the farmland on which the brothers live. A growing conflict with the new landowners will lead to a situation that severely tests Richard's natural optimism, as the world of privilege collides with the brothers' precarious, marginalized existence.
