Chickens are animals that belong to the Phasianidae family, with origins in Asia that have been domesticated globally. Poultry allergies are uncommon, with global prevalence varying from 0-13%. However, there are individuals with a hypersensitivity to chicken and other poultry. Individuals with an allergy to chicken may also be allergic to different kinds of poultry, such as turkeys, ducks, geese, pheasants, quails, and guinea fowl. In addition, individuals with an adverse reaction to chicken may also experience the same response after ingesting egg yolks since they may have some allergens (proteins) in common.

Individuals allergic to chicken should avoid not only it but also avoid chicken-based products, including chicken broth or stock, canned soups and stews, poultry flavorings, premade salads, certain meat dishes and frozen meat products that may contain chicken.

Additionally, individuals may be sensitive to chickens to the point that avoiding physical contact with chicken, or their feathers is necessary.

Chicken Allergy IgE Blood Test may help screen for an allergy to chicken and aid healthcare providers in developing a management and treatment plan.
