Chickens is a British sitcom that was first broadcast on Channel 4 as a television pilot on 2 September 2011, as part of the channel's Comedy Showcase season of comedy pilots. It was then followed by a six-episode series that was commissioned on Sky 1 and broadcasting began on 22 August 2013 and ended on 26 September 2013. The show is about three men who don’t go off to fight in the First World War and consequently become social outcasts in their village. It was nominated for Best Comedy Programme at the 2014 Broadcast Awards.
The Pilot episode was filmed partly on location in the village of Chilham in Kent, shooting exterior scenes in the square, the school and the church yard.
