A Mining Camp and Post Office established in 1903,
Chicken got its name from the plentiful Ptarmigan in the
area. In the north, "Chicken" is a common name for that
bird. One story has it that the early day miners wanted to
name their camp "Ptarmigan" but were unable to spell it
and settled for Chicken instead.
