As with the Yellow Moth, this pet, though purchaseable, offers a variety of breeds (4 to be exact). Considering everything, especially that flying pets enjoy a nice speed boost when over 50% health, it seems to me that the best breed for this guy would be the Breed 20 variety. Buy yourself a few of them and keep checking until you find one that features 150 health, 11 power and 10 speed at level 1 uncommon; this will translate to 1465 health, 289 power and 273 speed at 25 rare.

This pet DOES occasionally show up as a secondary, but is NOT capturable. It will always be of Uncommon quality in these battles, as well.

 

The only way to actually acquire one for yourself is to buy it.

It's a chicken.  A greyish chicken.

 

 

Not much more to be said than that.

This pet does indeed show up as a secondary to the Scorpid. Possibly from other pets too, but I haven't seen it. Also, they all appear to be uncommon quality as I have also yet to see poor, common or rare.

 

But never fear, Blizz is here! They promise in patch 5.1 for battle pets to be upgradeable in some fashion. Yayyy!! No more wasting hours on a rare search when you already have an uncommon.

It shows up as a secondary combatant in Thousand Needles, but it was not capturable for me.  I think you still have to buy it.

The vendor is now "Plucky" Johnson who can be found on the cliff in South Eastern Thousand Needles. He runs around as a chicken near "Mad Magus Tirth".

Prior to the Shattering, Ancona chickens were found at the Mirage Racetrack. It makes me wonder whether the racing event planner ever considered cock fighting. I hope not — cock fighting is brutal. Plus, the Gnomish Battle Chicken would peck the pants off of every other chicken around! And that's pretty impressive, considering chickens don't even wear pants!
