What 䳶 means
It is listed as a variant for chicken and a water bird.
A variant dictionary lists 䳶 under 雞 for chicken and as a form of 鸂, a water-bird name. The entry or source tells you which route is intended.
雞 appears in oracle-bone writing on animal bones and late-Shang bronze inscriptions. 䳶 appears in 四聲篇海, a Chinese rhyme dictionary, compiled in 1208; a 1212 edition survives. Its gloss “bird that knows the time” describes a rooster.
Specialist and source-specific; identify which bird sense the source intends.
Without the source context, the glyph alone does not decide which bird is meant.
