Pretty uncommon.: Good question. Hen's egg is a common food allergy. However, it is very uncommon to see it associated with chicken protein food allergy. There are ways to test for this, however, if you are very concerned. Apart from this, and also unrelated, are people who have allergies to chicken feathers. When testing, be sure to clarify chicken (food) or chicken (feathers) you have concerns with.
