Chickenmitre Organisation (“Beaks Abound” Or “Beeks Abound”: exact spelling unknown)

Chicken-magic
The term has its roots in Rumpish ridicule of Chicken Mechanics and various other “Chicken Studies”, but was later touted by Chickens as a title granting their works superiority over Monkey Mechanics.

Chickenheim, native home-planet of the Chicken peoples.

Chickendom, originally the word was used to reference the continent on Chickenheim where the Chicken peoples resided, as well as their government, it now is used to refer to all chicken peoples scattered throughout the universe on so many moons.

Chickenstein, Distinguished Professor of Chicken Mechanics at the now defunct Neith Institute of Technology (NIT). Discovered Sneek/Cheek parity invariance and proved the quantization of the scalar Sneek field. He is also known for pioneering the science of holonomic integer beak calculus. As a member of the Royal Society, he met William Herschel and Marcus Aurelius Chamberlain Bentworthe on multiple occasion.
*The Hassimir council has formally censured Chickenstein’s work as “Chicken-magic” with “no academic or scientific value.”

Chicken-squalor, see “The Great Doldrum”

Arch Duke Quillis Cromwell,
Laid siege to the IGRSE in 327 CP, during Chæmbo’s Peace, and absconded with over 32 trillion seeds of corn. He was later slaughtered and served (deep fried in Corn oil with red wine) to the Hassimir Council by Captain Torumund Borgin (Now General). His death precipitated a dramatic increase in Chicken/Rumpish hostilities. It is believed that an early chapter of the Chicken Heist were formed as a direct result of Cromwell’s slaughter.
