It's the high degree of social living that made chickens an interesting study with some obvious parallels to humans. The tribal nature of the chicken for example.I also think antropormophism without experience and knowledge can lead to denying difference. I'm not 14, but I only have 28 months experience keeping chickens and I could easily fall into that trap because i find their behaviour are actually very similar to that of humans in many ways, much more than cats, or sheeps or horses for example. And from a theoretical point of view I believe it could also lead if taken to it's extreme to a denial of any alterity other than human.
