The following has been doing the rounds at work, but is lacking 3
obvious entries - The UNIX chicken, the Linux chicken, and , of course,
the FreeBSD chicken. Anyone got any good ideas for these?

I've thought of a couple:
UNIX chicken - been crossing the road for 30 years without causing a
crash
Linux chicken - there's so many breeds that one is bound to get run over
But I can't think of one for FreeBSD
