Chicken is a VNC viewer, which means that it allows you to use a computer over a network as if you're sitting in front of it.
Chicken is based on Chicken of the VNC, but contains a number of bug fixes and some additional features.
As with Chicken of the VNC, Chicken features a full-screen mode, saving passwords in Keychain, mouse-button emulation for one-button mice, and many more options.

One very minor nit: the keyboard commands to go full screen / windowed on the current beta aren't sticky. But thats very minor.
If you do use CotVNC instead of ScreenSharing don't forget you eed to put a VNC password into the ScreenSharing Preference pane on the host machine.

a) Lack of connection via SSH to the server.
b) No auto scroll in the window mode.
c) Supports transferring some hot keys to the server, for instance, changing spaces, etc. It is convenient in some cases.

Well, it connects fine with both RealVNC Viewer on Mac also, but that has some control issues.
Chicken of the VNC connects just fine, just tried Chicken again and get a Protocol error... Connection screen IS always black.
