Crossword Genius

Chicken, fourteen pounds, seen in US national park (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yellowstone

'us national park' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'chicken fourteen pounds' is the wordplay.
'chicken' becomes 'yellow' (as in cowardly).
'fourteen pounds' becomes 'stone'.
'yellow'+'stone'='YELLOWSTONE'

'seen in' is the link.

(Other definitions for yellowstone that I've seen before include "Topaz, perhaps" , "First US national park, 1872" , "River with falls in Wyoming" , "US river" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
