Species Standards
Prefered Habitat: Cods like to live in groups, often times living amongst other poultry. Anywhere but cold
environments, honestly - as long as there's water available to drink.
Diet: All Cod seem to have strict diet of meat.. which is odd.. for ... a chicken..
Call: They make chicken noises, nothing too special about it.. at such a young age, they're unable to "crow",
but.. little peeps and bocks are made quite often.
Special Care Needs: Be cautious! The steelspur has claws nearing razor-blades.. the firebreathing got it's
name for that very reason.. and.. hm.. I suppose there's nothing wrong with the pink one, is there...?
Biology and Anatomy: Two out of the three common breeds of Cod look very much like regular chickens.
Because of this, the differences The Cod have are important and should be looked for very carefully before
it is decided whether it is a member of the chicken flock, or an impostor. (The pink however...are pink. That
should be telltale enough.) Each Cod starts out life looking generically like any other chick. Differences
among chicks are usually hard to see, but can usually be found in the way a chick may spurt out flame or
have unusually sharp talons. When they reach their adult forms however, there are some better visual
differences. All Cod Have Thick bushy tail feathers that start out one color and end in another. Among
farmers, this is known as a Cod's 'Red flag.' Also, All Cod have wings that spread out at twice their body
length, and are strong enough to lift the creature into flight. Midway up their relatively long legs they have a
small claw that is used to pin down any struggling prey. Beside these things, all Cod are outfitted with the
general items that make them resemble fowl. Their bodies are small and light with a layer of feathers to
protect them from the cold. Their beaks are small and sharp, but it is said that their eyes are a little sharper
than a normal birds. All in all, Cod resemble normal fowl. It's the little things that must be looked for.
Behavioral Study: At this young age, it just seems that they're baby chickens.. other than the eating of meat...
Though, once they reach adulthood, their true nature shines through. They are deceptive creatures - birds of
prey actually - "chicken" is a misnomer. They blend in with a flock of chickens (disguising themselves as
roosters to get many hens to follow them - reguardless of gender).. and thus, the bait is set. Their diet is
quite specialized. They eat other birds of prey (not chickens). When a "chicken-hawk" swoops down to
make it's kill - that's when it strikes! And yes, these birds can fly.
Suggested Uses: Farmers suggest that you keep a Firebreathing Cod amongst your flock of regular birds,
to keep them safe (no matter how dangerous they may be to the farmer).. Steelspur are said to be used as
... uh.. fighting creatures, when adults - and are usually raised as such.. Pink are often given to children as
cute fluffy pets.
Fire-Breathing: Fire-breathing.. indeed, breathe fire. Even at such a young age, they're able to breathe fire,
so be cautious, and use gloves! However, they're quite tastey.. and best of all - if one should be killed, they
spontaniously combust - instantly cooking your chicken dinner! Though, we don't suggest it.
Pink: The pink just seem to be cute and fuzzy, void of any nasty behaviors.. they're quite friendly, and love to
be around people. When they reach adulthood - the Pink is the only one with a major biological difference..
they don't eat birds of prey, they eat people.
Steel-Spur: The steel-spur have.. irritable tempermants, and dislike being around other steel-spur, so keep
them seperated!

Black The Black C.O.D. follows the steelspur in it's behavior for the most part... but it's much more striking, dont' you think?
