other assumptions inherent to this question are : chickens exist, the 
road exists, reality exists, movement and physical laws apply, time 
applies, the chicken either have crossed the road or they havent, etc.

> What if the chicken did NOT cross the road,

and what if they did AND did not?
and what if they neither did nor didnt?

as you see, assumptions go way farther than you stated.

"is your mom a whore?" is a good example to show that questions are not
