Description
Chickens are the most common type of domesticated animal and are found on every farm and in many households. They are unintelligent and on farms serve no purpose other than food production. Hens lay 1 egg a day and a butchered chicken can feed four people.
Hens are typically brown or mottled black and grey in color and they have small cockscombs and beards.
Roosters are typically larger than females. The feather coloring for most breeds is the same as hens. Roosters in those cases are identified by their larger cockscombs and beards and longer tail feathers. Some breeds, like the leghorn chicken rooster, are brightly colored.
Roosters are also more aggressive than hens. Domesticated hens will typically peck at hands collecting eggs without doing damage unless they feel threatened. Roosters, on the other hand, will attack any creature it is unfamiliar with, especially other roosters. Because of their aggressiveness and cock spur that adds damage, Roosters are often bred for fighting. Cock fighting is very popular in rural communities. Some owners will attach small razors to their rooster's claws allowing them to do 3 (1d4+1) slashing damage.
