Actually a weird info request for those of you who own chickens;

My WtA character grew up in a safe house in the middle of nowhere and I figure they raised chickens. His pack needs a guardian spirit and he’s going to push for Chicken. What would be really positive traits of chickens that a particularly angry older teen might admire?

@Leucrotta roosters can be protective of their flock and fight off predators

@Leucrotta I mean totems in the WtA often reflect the mythology of the animal as much as their lived traits. Considering the connections between roosters, hens, and such to sunlight, prosperity, and holiness wouldn't the obvious bit be Protection and disrupting unclean things like vampires and banes?

@Leucrotta I don't own chickens I just like WtA but I could see a bonus of +1 Honor and a pack benefit of +1 damage to the wyrm maybe a benefit to howls and voices being carried. Dig into the Galliard Gift list Chickens are VERY galliard

maaaaaaybe Get of Fenris don't respect Chicken as a totem?

@ZiaMacPine Thank you! I hadn't thought about the "very galliard" and sun symbology. Definitely a thing to tuck in my head if we wind up running across vampires in this scenario.

@Leucrotta also keep in mind the name Chanticleer Days Proclaiming Trumpeter thats a big rooster symbol especially in christian and euro cultural symbolism
