Chicken turtle
The chicken turtle (''Deirochelys reticularia'') is an uncommon freshwater turtle found in the southeast of the United States.
It is in the monotypic genus ''Deirochelys''.
The name "chicken" turtle refers to the taste of their meat, which used to be popular in southern markets.
==Description==
The chicken turtle is similar in appearance to the eastern painted turtle (''Chrysemys picta picta''), but has an unusually long, striped neck that is close to the length of its shell, with a yellow stripe on both the forelegs and rear legs. They have webbed feet to help them swim. It has a distinguishable net-like pattern on its carapace. The carapace is pear-shaped, and is an olive to dark brown. Females are usually larger than the males, and males have a longer, thicker tail. Males also have longer front claws. At birth, chicken turtles are one inch in diameter, and adults reach from 10.2-25.4 cm. The chicken turtle is medium in size compared to other turtles.
