∙ 12y agoThere is a saying: "If you go into the coop, don't frighten the chickens."
This phrase is used generally to mean 'don't be too aggressive near meek people' (as you might frighten them).
A chicken is not a courageous creature, as it frightens easily.
So, if somebody is "chicken", they do not have much courage.
