If your tank is a good size I think youll be fine. I could be wrong but I would think hermits would go after it...

I think you'll be ok... Just me, though. I mean it's meat, more than anything. Unless you had some seriously greasy chicken it'll probably just decompose and the only worry you have will be the protein breaking down into ammonia.

(unless someone knows a lot more about the effects of chicken in a tank than i do.)
