Professor Tsien-Le Wing of USC's Avian-Linguistic program has recently determined that Chickens and Turkeys do in fact have complex languages. It seems that flightless birds, while having relatively distinct species specific languages, share basic morphological and phonological structures across the species barrier. Professor Wing calls this theoretical mother tongue "Proto-Fowlish."
In his ground scratching comparative study of two groups of genetically distinct chicken populations, one in Kentucky and the other in Mongolia, he found that both groups used the same set of base "clucks" and "crows" to designate such concepts as "Here they come, run away," "Hen, get in the house," "Where's my c*ck?" and "Good seed," but the Kentucky chickens used suffixes to generate a regional specificity and while the Mongolians used a combination prefix and tonal adjustment technique for theirs. Particularly interesting was the evidence that both groups were able to generate new "words" based on hew experiences, such as when the Kentucky chickens were first exposed to a Llama and began using a distinctly different cluck to identify it.
So, in short, the mother tongue of chickens and Turkeys is called "Proto-Fowlish" but their are regional dialects which, at the time of this writing, are designated such as "Kentucky-Fowlish" or "Mongolian-Fowlish."

Depends on their country of origin. Once I was observing an American chicken trying to communicate with an Italian chicken and their communication was impossible

Chicken use the Chicken language to communicate and if they happen to be deaf and dumb, they then use chicken writing.

CHICKENS are birds. Fowl do not have language as we humans know it.
If you did not mean to misspell CHICKEN, please edit your question to make your meaning more clear.
