Is this a chicken? I was told it was, but I am not sold on it.

I am an American overseas on holiday, found this pet bird which I am 99% sure is not a chicken. All of the villagers have told me it is a chicken (they don’t really speak English though). This bird and its baby looked nothing like my chickens I have at home 🥲

Edit: can I blame pregnancy brain and the heat here for ever questioning this
