This joke was made in the 1700's and most people couldn't get the joke. The true answer to the joke is "To get to the other side", which in turn means two things. One: it means to cross the road, and two: it means to pass on to the other side or die. So when the chicken crossed the road, it got run over and died. It is quite a sad and disturbing joke, I know. I hope I've helped you.
