The cockatrice in myth were basically overgrown chickens with a dragons tail, wings and teeth. Basilisks were basically an overgrown snake with a crown like structure similar to the red thing on to of roosters head. Some times a basilisk is described with a beak as well and maybe some feathers. So yeah, the basilisk is still part chicken, it's just more snake than chicken.
