There's an insane amount of chickens and chicken references in Lego Marvel's Avengers.

Any idea why there are so many chickens?

From what I can gather, its just an attempt to make the game funny. Lego games are known to be silly in this sense.

In one article they mention the Hulk has a chicken to help keep him angry. That was under the section titled "Returning Humor – More Laughs & Inside Jokes Than ever Before."

There is also a part (and this may be a spolier) where:

You use mind control on chickens that are harassing Stan Lee in Barton's Farm to get the 8th gold brick.

Taking in to account the above, the chickens are just an attempt to make the game humorous.
