Who were The Sacred Chickens in Roman mythology?

Roman armies kept groups of sacred chickens with them when they were campaigning (fighting). The chickens would be consulted before battle like oracles. A special chicken-keeper would offer the chickens food, and if they ate, then the battle would go well. If they didn’t, then battle should be avoided at all costs!
