Why is it that whenever my character kills a chicken, it only drops guts?

I was expecting the loot to have poultry, white meat, feathers, chicken nuggets, and other chicken products. 🐔

There should be an achievement for chicken slaying that comes with a title and free outfit. That will be really funny 😁.

    I've never killed chickens. I get plenty of poultry out of barrels, sacks, crates....

    Gryphons should drop poultry, especially the ones from Cloudrest. That'd vindicate my habit of calling them overgrown chickens.

    Reaper march has an quest there you get poultry out of chickens but you use an special wand.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.

    The joke in the quest who already is about pranks is that the wand convert a live chicken instantly into an grilled one.

    So it doesn't explain the poultry mystery...

    We also have pheasants hanging in kitchens around Tamriel, but no living pheasants either in the wild or on farms…

      I'd say pheasants are imported from a realm of Oblivion we can't access in game.

      😂 we need a quest to turn into a chicken. Maybe there's a story behind it...why it's only guts.

      I've seen chickens drop the right provisioning supplies, although the wand that's mentioned is found in Shad Astula near Mournhold. Makes chickens explode lol.

      Don't remember that but Thormar south of Rawl'kha, you do some quests to prank Khajiit and Bosmers https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Baan_Dar's_Boast
      then get an oblivion real of https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Baan_Dar's_Bash for the chicken part.

      You can go back to Baan Da realm after doing the quest. No the chickens don't could as livestock :(

      If you shoot a cliffstrider while it's flying overhead, it might drop a bantam guar.
