## Appearance

### Chicken (S2)

The current *"Season 2"* Chicken is an orange bird with darker wings folded on its body. It has a large head with a pair of large black eyes, a red comb on top pushed over to its right, and a short, narrow, goldenrod beak containing two black points for nostrils. A pair of red wattles can barely be seen under the beak. The rest of its body has darker feather details. The Chicken's wings have darker tips, and its tail is a broad bunch of feathers.

When the Chicken uses its ability, its wings will stick out, flap about, and it will say through chat: "CLUCK!!!"

### Gold Trim

The Gold Trim Chicken is a *"Season 1"* Chicken that additionally has a golden underside, tail feathers, comb, and waddles.

### Countryside Chick

The Countryside Chick is reddish in color, based on the Classic Chicken. Lacking white tail feathers, it has more feathers on its wings, and a bright blue pair of overalls. It wears a tan straw-hat on its head with a blue ribbon. Its beak is goldenrod, sharper, and has a beige head of wheat. Its eyes are dark orange with a happy expression.

### Chicken (Classic/#GoldenAge)

The Classic Chicken, referred as the *"Season 1"* Chicken sometimes, is more saturated than the current Chicken. Its comb sticks straight up as opposed to being swept on the head, being composed of an oval and a couple circles. The beak and wattles are more broad. A small ring can be seen behind the head and it lacks the feather details. The Classic Chicken has a border of white feathers on its tail.

## Strategy

* As the Chicken is a low-tier animal, the fastest way to level up is to shoot water at brown mushrooms by pressing `S`, until it bursts into berries, which provide substantial XP.
	+ Brown mushrooms can be found near bushes at lakes in the Land biome. Raspberries are also a good option for XP
	+ Carrots can also be consumed in mud patches, as the player will be safe there and can move fast/dive in it. As a bonus, slow-moving prey that is stuck there can be easily killed.
* Chasing prey is another option, but can take more time than it is worth, since farming is easier. If the player chases prey, they should use the "Run" ability by pressing `W` to speed up to prey and bite them as much as possible.
* To avoid most predators, the player can climb on hills or trees, using the Chicken's Special Ability to gain distance from predatory animals. Waiting in a hiding hole should cause any predators that are chasing the player to eventually lose interest.
	+ Predator-wise, the main threat for the player will be Pigs – they too move fast in mud, and their "Stink Cloud" ability can be lethal. Do not dive in mud unless necessary, as upon emerging, the player will become muddy and slow and potentially succumb to the Pig. If the player does dive, it should be into a hiding hole or cave.
