Well pain itself isn't but any experience requires sentience so the experience of actually feeling pain and it actually being painful, and not to just be a bodily reaction that looks like pain from the outside, requires sentience. Any pain that is actually painful to an organism requires sentience.

So why did you bring up plants? Lol.
You're intelligent. Go back and read. I'm not getting into a text war word salad with you.

Yes. You're missing the fact that some people don't like being told they could be wrong, let alone the fact that they are wrong.
Personally, this entire discussion about whether or not chickens can feel anything, is just absurd. But I like how my example of breaking a chicken's wing to see if it would feel pain, went on completely ignored. Not by you, of course.
Anyway, I'm moving on from this discussion. It's grown stale and I have a life to live.
