    The smallest number of chickens that can walk in the given formation is 3.

    Explanation:

    Let us assume that the chickens are walking in a line,

    Chicken 1--Chicken 2--Chicken 3

    Given,

    Situation 1: 2 chickens in front of 1 chicken

    That is 2 in front of 1 = 2+1=3 chicken

    Situation 2: 2 chickens behind 1 chicken

    That is 2 behind 1 = 2+1=3 chicken

    Situation 3: 1 chicken between 2 chicken

    1+1+1=3 chicken

    From the 3 situations, we can conclude that the minimum number of chickens can possibly be 3.
