No, the flesh of a chicken is considered as meat and not allowed. Neither would turkey, duck or geese as all are from warm blooded animals
My understanding is that if it swam in the water is was considered a fish. So, chicken would not be allowed but goose or duck would. Puffin was allowed (ahh), and in different parts of the world so are capybara, otter, and beaver.
I suppose this was because lent comes at the end of the yearly cycle, during the time when food crops could not be grown, and eliminating all types of meat would be a burden on the poor.
Flesh from any warm-blooded animal (mammals, birds) is considered as meat. It makes no difference what the animal's habitat.
