Question
Is there a chicken called a “French hen,” or is this simply a poetic term in the song “The Twelve Days of Christmas”?
Answer
We think the song refers to just a regular ol’ chicken who maybe says, “Le Cluck.” Whatever a French hen is, the price of three of them (which is what the song requires) was about $45 last year, according to PNC Bank, which since 1984 has calculated the annual price of purchasing your true love everything mentioned in the song.
