Probably not. Chickens are not exactly the brightest of the farm animals. (I wouldn't bother asking one, another words.) All chickens do is cluck, peck food, poop, and sleep.
Oh, and they are at their best when they are cooking in the oven. Defeathered, degutted and beheaded. Stuffed with onions!
(If you find that last bit disgusting, I apologize. Sounds really good to me!)

I always thought it was to show the opossum that it could be done... but the chicken couldn't because the possum was dead, so, yeah, life's sad....
