I didn't realize it, but this roleplay has been alive for a year! Thanks to everyone on here who helped keep it alive. XD



Also I wanted to clear something up- it's the 3rd or 4th day in the RP, it's winter, and the it's currently around midday. Just so everything is slightly less confusing. XD

Well, you have a great plot so far, but I think a few more problems other than food storage and leader choices might help. Maybe some sort of divide between Hawaiian native chickens (red junglefowl/red junglefowl crosses/gamefowl) and production type chickens? Like, mixing of the two types is frowned upon and halfbreeds are discriminated against? It might make sense, seeing as games are usually a little more aggressive and better at surviving (which means a lot, since there's no humans to feed them now) than production types. Also, bantams could be singled out or generally thought as soft and weak.
Another thing you might want to try is for some type of religion, so maybe not all the chickens have the same beliefs, or only one group even has a religion.
Giving them more challenges in everyday life definitely spices things up; as foraging gets harder, they have to figure out ways to get more creative. Maybe someone suggests they loot the humans houses, or go closer to the volcano, but there's a disagreement on how dangerous that is. Or they have to figure out how to get food to camp, or whether to keep moving the flock to each new foraging ground. Stuff like that.
Make sure to highlight other problems that have always been there, but gets more attention because of the events happening. Maybe a group of hens and pullets wants to get a lead hen voted in because they're tired of only being able to be top broodies. Maybe a contestant doesn't partake in a ritual or an old rule that has been passed down for generations because it's kind of ridiculous, but it's always been there so now everyone is conflicted.
Also; more corrupt political figures. But not too many.

I hope this helps you a bit. Sorry it's so long.. I might've gotten carried away.

Oh yeah! The junglefowl idea won't work, because all chickens there are domestic, however, I could add more to Mongoose's description and explain the house looting more. I forgot to highlight the other problems, that will help it make more sense. And yes, the skipped ritual part makes sense. I want lots of "rites" which make the territory sort of sacred.
I need one that turns a cockerel to a cock, but what can they do?

That actually looks really good. When you open it I will join!

Great! (And now I feel like I'm stealing the attention from this rp.)

Unfortunately, @OldEnglishGameBantam33 has been inactive in byc for a while. However, I am not deleting her characters yet.
@Rooster_Tyranny has been inactive for a couple months. We'll have to play around her characters.

At the fairgrounds there are so many rock pigeons of suspicious roots...
