Hey there! My name's Galen! I'm one of the Co-Owners here at the Chookery alongside Lysander. We built this place as a safe haven for new and old farmers alike to start on their adventures and find their ChooK companions! It's been quite a bit of work, and I still have a lot of heavy lifting to do! But we're excited to have you here with us as we expand our facilities.

Oh? This guy? This is Goose! He's my best mate- you might see him running off to play with Duck while I'm working! Be careful, he's a toe biter."

What's a ChooK? ChooKs are a curious genus of dinosaur-like avians! A prime example is my ChooK here, Duck. Farmers like us have domesticated them to assist us in the dangerous work of cultivating hostile landscapes. Every ChooK species has it's own unique traits and we're constantly discovering new and extraordinary varieties!

These birds have a keen eye for shiny trinkets and have been known to be quite skilled at finding rich ores. Their diet is primarily omnivorous with a taste for minerals. They can be quite protective of their own flock. So I suggest that you don't pick a fight with any owners or birds here at The Chookery.

What's the difference, you ask? We have three categories of species we refer to here. Domestic, Fancy and Wild. Domestic ChooKs are your most basic domesticated birds, who are quite mundane and have no line-edits. Fancy ChooKs are domesticated birds who have been breed for their unique traits and line-edits. Wild ChooKs... Well, you'd be quite the talk of the Chookery if you ever managed to train and befriend a Wild ChooK. They are nothing like their domesticated cousins and quite dangerous.
