Best Answer

Chickens are not infected by and do not transmit chickenpox. You get chickenpox from people who are infected.

When chicken pox was first described, people said that the pox lesions looked more like they were placed upon the skin rather than being a part of the skin themselves. In fact, people long ago felt they looked like chick peas placed upon the skin. The Latin word for chick peas is cicer which is where chicken pox got its name.

Yes, mainly if it is undercooked. Chickens can carry salmonella, chlamydiosis, arizonosis or colibaciliosis; the heat of the cooking process is very effective in killing the diseases.
