If anyone can provide context for the chicken, it would be appreciated.
From my own knowledge, it's interesting because Afro-Caribbean witchcraft believes that if you "bathe" yourself with a chicken, passing it around your body while saying the "magic" words or whatever, that you can pass your sins or "bad juju" onto the chicken. Then they kill the chicken in sacrifice as a means of "cleansing" themselves. Do Jews have a similar thing for themselves?

Kapparot. jews sin all year, then they transfer their sins to a chicken, and beat it to death for being a piece of shit who sinned all year. This is how they “trick” God.
Wow. This is scary. So these Afro-pagan witchcraft practices likely started with them, huh? That's why God punished them for generations.

Cain's race is completely extinct (thankfully, they were literal giants who were as intelligent as they were wicked, and were they still around, they'd likely have put the jews to shame in their tyranny), your thinking of Canaanites I believe. Allegedly 50% of the jew's DNA is Canaanite, meaning they may have more in common with Israel's enemies than with the actual Israelites.
Its a corruption of OT sin offerings, as users commenting below you have pointed out. In the OT, the Israelites were commanded to use animal sacrifice to pre-figure Christ's sacrifice on the cross. However, they were never commanded to use the excessive cruelty seen in Kapparot, OT sin offerings were humane executions where the animal had its neck snapped first, and the parts of the animal that werent offered to God via fire were eaten by the priests. And sometimes the animal wasnt even killed, there was a rite where the priest placed the sins of the people on a goat and released it into the wilderness. Not to mention that OT sin offerings are no longer valid due to Christ's sacrifice and the destruction of the Temple, so its just killing animals for the sake of killing animals.

No, I’m not joking.
