Is the chicken kosher is a look into what we know about the consumption of the fowl in history. Does it appear in the Tanakh? When did people start eating it? Who were they? Where did the chicken come from and does it appear in the list of forbidden birds? And in over all, how do we determine what is clean and unclean in a list of names which can change in meaning through time? The verse in 1Kings is 5:3 and not 5:2. Job references the word שכוי in 38:36, but the translation is unclear.
