No. Chickens have only one stomach. They do however have a crop, where the swallow and keep grit to grind down the food they eat before it reaches the stomach,thus making digestion easier

Two unusual internal organs help birds to process food. The gizzard, which is part of a bird’s stomach, has thick muscular walls with hard inner ridges. It is capable of crushing large seeds and even shellfish. Some seed-eating birds swallow small stones so that the gizzard will grind food more efficiently. Birds that feed on nectar and soft fruit have poorly developed gizzards.
Most birds have a crop—a saclike extension of the esophagus, the tubular organ through which food passes after leaving the mouth. Some birds store food in their crops and transport it to the place where they sleep. Others use the crop to carry food that they will later regurgitate to their offspring.

Chickens don't have two stomachs.
Birds have a crop for storing food that they gobble up as quickly as they can.
Birds have a gizzard with sand or little pebbles to grind up coarse foods.
Birds have a stomach for the usual purposes.
Intestine ... and so on.

i think i know the answer to this...
yes and no.. they have what is called a gizzard, which kinda acts like a stomach, and i believe that they also have a stomach.. so i could see people saying that they have two stomachs
and i think the gizzard main function is to capture inedible materials to be processed and broken down more slowly (like sand, gravel, dirt, etc) because they end up eating a lot of that as they roam around

No, they have one.
Sad but cows have four not two and they swallow their food without chewing it and then regurgitate it back into their mouths to chew and re-swallow.
You've seen them standing about chewing and chewing and chewing without taking a mouth full of anything !!!!!!!!
