Cock

A cock, also called a rooster or chanticleer, is a male chicken.

How to Acquire
There are two possibilities:


 * Wild flocks of chicken may randomly spawn on Grassland, Moor, or Heath. Right-clicking a cock will cause your character to chase it. The cock will flee, so running is necessary unless you are standing directly next to it. Once caught, it will appear in your inventory.


 * Build a chicken coop for breeding hens and cocks. When a chick is placed inside a chicken coop with sufficient fodder, it will turn into a hen or cock.

How to Use

 * Animal Husbandry enables you to breed chickens. A chicken coop, a cock and a hen are required to produce fertile eggs, that will hatch into chicks.
 * A caught cock can be slaughtered via "Wring Its Neck" -option to convert it into a Dead Cock.
 * If killed via combat, it will leave a Dead Chicken as its corpse.
 * NOTE: A cock won't fertilize an egg that has a higher quality than itself.

Trivia
In earlier versions of the game, Cocks would attack players who attacked them, or attacked or picked up a chicken of their flock. They're strength was one step-up from Ants.
