Value of chickens

Let’s say you get some use-value out of the chicken. It can be direct, like eating chicken wings or indirect, like eating a wolf that ate the chicken. Or it can be non-consumptive, like chicken-watching as a hobby.

Maybe it’s non-use value. Like you are just really satisfied knowing that chickens exist in the world, even if you won’t ever use one. Or maybe it’s nice knowing you have the option to use it or watch it.

Or maybe the whole universe doesn’t revolve around humans. Nah. If you can’t eat, watch, pet, or play with chickens, there’s no point.
