Chickens

Chickens were farm Rokugani fowls. Emerald Empire; Fourth Edition, p. 28 “Mountain roosters”, the Basan, were odd denizens of Chikushudo which resembled oversized roosters.

The rooster was considered a sacred animal, associated with Amaterasu, for it greets the sun at the dawning of every day with its cry, and with Fire for its fierceness when threatened. Peasants believed the crowing of a rooster can banish gaki and other unsavory spirits. Shinseist monks considered roosters to be good luck. Book of Fire, p. 125
