If you accept 'fawn' as an animal, 'foal' should be ok too.

Wiccan was the first word I tried, too, but it's a proper noun, or an adjective derived from one.

Given that etymology, I'm very glad that "Mule" is the term they opted for for a Horse Donkey hybrid.

(when I woke up several countries echoed through my head, I was saying a list an explaining to someone why certain countries would fit and others would'nt) Way to get into my head jetpunk haha I used to have this when studying for exams, I woke up doing math(s)

According to the IPA renderings on Wiktionary, 'chicken' does not rhyme with any of those words in British or American English. 'Chicken' ends in /ɪn/ whereas the others end in /ən/.

I can't speak for British English, but I'm American and to me all the listed answers for that question rhyme with chicken.

Rhyming questions here are almost always horrible unless it's a word with no regional variation (e.g. I think there's a quiz that gets you to list words that rhyme with Funk).

Seven letters ending in 'IFF'. I was disappointed to see that SKEWIFF was not allowed. For many years, my mother used this word to describe something that wasn't lined up correctly. I think you'll agree that it sounds perfect as a descriptor and on that basis...
