Of the chickens, three are jocks, one is cranky, two are lazy, one is smug, two are normal, one is peppy, three are snooty and one is sisterly, who was formerly peppy.

In the Animal Crossing series, chicken villagers are characterized by their cockscombs. They also have small heads which end in a ruff of feathers, with the exception of Knox, who wears a helmet.

Unlike their real-life counterparts, chickens in Animal Crossing lack wattles, and their combs are of equal size on either gender.
