So um... I have an obsession with chickens and would LOVE for there to be a chicken pet in the game . . . pretty please <3

Chickens already exist in the game, so it shouldn't be too hard animating them to be a pet, I think . . . right? If you could observe and capture how chickens move and strut so adorably and add bok buka bok clucking sounds . . . I'd be doki doki puddy in your hands.

Of course, I would adore to have a whole flock of them waddle running after me hehehe . . . and in that case, it'd be nicer to have all different kinds of breeds and colors so they're not just total clones. Which brings me to contemplate . . . Wouldn't it be amazing if once we unlock an appearance for a pet, we could switch between the skins whenever we'd like? [personally, as a designer, I wish dyes were the same way - I'd really like to be able to just unlock the dye and have it forever and be able to switch my dyes around whenever I wanna mix it up]

Honestly, I would be totally happy and content and skipping with joy just to have the regular breed of hen chosen for the game, whether by itself or extended into simple colors of brown, white, black, grey, buff (gold), and red... and I would buy them all lmao. But I must mention . . . I also have a particular obsession with specifically "Show Quality" Silkie chickens. Which basically means absolute highest potentital of floofy fur for the pom-pom-like head (crest), poofy cheeks (muffs), long beard, chest, body, wings, butt, fluffy pants (legs), and feet. I'm not sure how well their perfection can be rendered into a videogame, 'cause I'm very picky about their shape, but it could be something the designers try and see if everyone agrees it's successfully the cutest thing ever.

My other piece of feedback concerns the chickens we can raise in the game with a fence. I was so excited to try it out but was so dissappointed that I couldn't put the fence in the grassy patio of my home instance. I so badly wanted to have a bunch of chickens strutting around in my front yard! And personally it makes no sense to me why I would want to grow crops or raise animals in a Non Safe Zone. Realistically, just a fence isn't going to protect them from predators, and I'd want to keep them close to me where I can watch over them and take care of them and not have to travel miles to some random area in the middle of nowhere to check up on them.

And lastly that brings me to wishing we could pick them up. Whether I'm raising them in a fence or have them as pets, I want to be able to cuddle and walk around with them in my arms. I can't express enough how happy this would make me.

Love the game so much! This would just make it that much better <3

I know a very wholesome chicken in-game already, super cute, 10/10.

You should whisper RaiseYourChicken (EU) if ya wanna get to know the chicken ^^.

Hmmm I tried this and couldn't seem to get it to work. I must not be doing it right. Could you clarify it a bit more for me? I am supposed to type "RaiseYourChicken (EU)" into the whisper chat bar exactly as is? And then... "who do I whisper it to?" is my other question...

Thanks so much! This sounds amazing! <3

Love this and OP's suggestion. Chickens and chicks! Cute! :D

Cluck cluck.

Fun stuff, please implement PA.

I was just thinking that too! It'd be so cool if we could get one as a pet as a reward after x amount of quest completion from Emma Bartali's farm! Perhaps the chicken grows fond of the player and wishes to be free to explore the world with them! <3 It'd be such a cute questline.
