I'd just use a raven without a fly speed. I made a fighting **** awhile back though.

Go to the prestege classboard, and into the prestege class compendium. Look for chicken wrangler or something (I think it's a class by Shadowfoot). Near the bottom of that post are stats for chickens.

Here are the stats I use for chickens; they were originally created for pulling a cart (since you can buy a lot of chickens for the price of a single donkey or mule), and the familiar details were added later at the request of a player.

These plump birds are innocuous and beneficial, serving mainly as a source of meat and eggs. They are poor fliers and many have their wings clipped (removing their fly speed).

COMBAT
Chickens flee at the first sign of danger, and are only threatening by accident.
Headless Run (Ex): A chicken with its head cut off (as by a vorpal weapon) is not automatically slain. It flees in a random direction for 2d6 rounds, and may be attacked or targeted with spells as normal. Once this duration expires, the chicken drops dead if it has not already been killed.
Carrying Capacity: A light load for a chicken is up to 1 1/2 pounds; a medium load , 2-3 pounds; and a heavy load, 3 1/2-5 pounds. A chicken can drag 25 pounds.

Chicken Familiars: A sorcerer or wizard who selects a chicken as a familiar gains the Run feat while they are within 1 mile of each other.
