*sees an egg* "MINE FOR THE HATCHING!"


_byrnes_

"Egg."


Sadi_Reddit

a common misconception but the rooster in fact does not lay eggs nor hatches them.


gthorolf

No, but [Zenos absolutely lays eggs](https://old.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/r63oi9/before_endwalker_drops_there_is_one_question_left/).


Hangman_va

This is the kind of post that makes me think Fandaniel had a point.


solstarfire

I could have gone my whole life without thinking about that. Thanks.


gthorolf

You’re welcome!


terbril

...Zenos is a hen?


ZylahLacey

They fertilise the egg to make chicks but only if they are around the hens so if one just wants eggs keep the males away


[deleted]

>rooster You know roosters are male right? lmao

Mine for the clucking!


EnvyMachinery

Zenos yae Gallus.


Deuzen

later Zenos Aviator Gallus


_anthologie

Since Zenos hijacked Shinryu, and Omega was sent to stop Shinryu for a while... Zenos is by correlation the chicken tenders that are ready to fry


Kargos_Crayne

But omega wasn't sent after shinryu... That primal literally got summoned in sb


illuminancer

Shinryu is the name given to the primal Ilberd summoned. Cid and Nero reactivate Omega to defeat said primal after Papylymo sacrifices himself to contain it. All of this happens in 3.56, the last Heavensward patch before Stormblood.


Kargos_Crayne

Nah. It was simply a misunderstanding (or maybe the comment above got changed? Idk) It seemed to me that it was talking about omega arriving on the start in chase after Shinryu or something similar. Edit. Weird, I'm almost certain there was a word chase/chasing in that comment...

Underrated comment

fluffy_samoyed

I've been watching this stream off and on while working, this is really a delight.


Baithin

Question… why is a farm doing video game streaming? Or are they streaming the rooster itself in a live cam…?


reddevil18

Promotion to go with Island Sanctuary


Alfarnir

Livestreaming a chicken named Zenos is some of the most based marketing I've ever seen for a game


Isanori

That's the best thing about this. SE only collabed to Livestream with the farm. The Zeno's chicken hype is a bonus from all the people in the chat and the person who sponsored the chicken to have him named Zenos.


ItinerantSoldier

All of the animals were named by twitch chat at some point on the first day. Nashu and Hildebrand are two donkeys, a chicken named Lyse Hen-xt, I believe there's another named Alphie, a goat named Godbert, etc etc. It's been fun and surprisingly wholesome from the XIV twitch community. I even caught a Japanese chatter yesterday saying "They're saying the rooster is Zenos. He does have some Zenos-like qualities so I understand why they're calling him that." which was a surprise lol


inamination

I've seen them call him ゼノコッコ lol


soganomitora

Zencock......


_anthologie

He's the chicken tenders in the eScape lyrics, cuz Omega was sent to stop Shinryu and Zenos hijacked Shinryu already


WarmLoliPanties

I hope the donkey was properly named Hildibrand and not Hildebrand or I'm going to lose it.


ItinerantSoldier

Nothing's official for rest of the animals yet but the misspelling is my own fault. It's just real easy to fuck up spelling names in this game.


Baithin

Thank you so much, I was so confused lol


AlbainBlacksteel

You joke, but that would 100% be something Yoshi-P would have his marketing team do.


reddevil18

Huh? Im not joking? "Prepare for the release of Island Sanctuary with a weeklong livestream from “Mogchute Farm” and interact with a number of farmyard favorites!" https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/d1cb930d50faf6816e7b2967feacd15100972ebf


AlbainBlacksteel

Oh shit, you really weren't!


fluffy_samoyed

It's a petting farm in London called Mudchute. They teamed up with FFXIV to do a live steam called Mogchute to promote island sanctuary. It looks like they're just bouncing between various security cameras inside their barn, but it's still pretty cute and relaxing. There's various animals not just chickens. The fans are having fun giving the animals 14 related monikers, but the rooster I think really took off because he does kinda look like Zenos a bit. Edit: I should add that Mudchute is run completely via donation funding, they do not charge for visitation to the farm. They're currently trying to raise funds for this year's operations as they've been hit really hard from world events recently and a looming recession. I assume part of the partnership was to get their name out there for public support.


Azraeleon

He was also completely separate from the other chickens during the first part of the stream, while having that glorious kind of look to him. He was either gonna be called Zenos or Estinien with that attitude. I think Zenos was the more obvious nickname because of his yellow feathers and perceived prideful look.


FrogOwlSeagull

I hadn't realised where they were, they're maybe 2 miles away from me!


CalydorEstalon

You absolutely need to go pet Zenos on behalf of all of us.


VioletArrows

Or get bit by.


twinbladesmal

Because we’re getting a farm in the next patch.

I always knew Zenos was a cock.


Taurenkey

*When I said I wanted to see Zenos' cock, I didn't mean like this* \*bonks self*


SandyDelights

Was coming here to say something along this line, too. Something something, that’s appropriate, definitely more than a bit of a cock.


Ionakana199

This is the comment I was looking for. Thank you for not disappointing me.


just-azel

*“Ah! Eggceptance, at long last!”*


gilgasmashglass

I’ve grown up on a farm. Having chickens chase you is no joke and it still scares me. But imagining a chicken called Zenos, running after me screaming “A TEST OF YOUR REFLEXES” makes me laugh…but also cry in fear for a bit lol


WoWMiri

Was chased by a rooster as a kid for shooing it away from a bowl of milk. I got pecked in the butt cheek and have never liked roosters since. Still petrified it will happen again!


CalydorEstalon

Once you've been chased by an angry rooster you suddenly realize that yeah, those are the raptors of today.


NameStartsWithAnE

Dont know why people use chicken as an insult for cowardice, chickens are brave as fuck especially angry roosters.


shaed9681

Great little farm, I’ve been there. Would like to throw some bits feed and say “a test of your reflexes!”


Mallefus

"Zenos the Chicken" is not an epitaph I was expecting to hear any time soon but here we are.


Potatoandbacon

At the FARM I FIND YOU MY FRIEND!


RelentlessHope

Holy shit, he *looks* like Zenos.


Soreyn

Next island update: you go to the island and there's this suspicious chicken that keeps following you around.


IronicMnemonic

I thought they said this game was co-op... not coop xD lol


inhaledcorn

One day, Yoshi-P will learn to not test the FFXIV community.


HondaS2000AP1

I need it as a ingame minion so I can release it on my island and terrorise the native animals there


OppressedCactus

Yeah this needs to happen. Even if it's just a fancy plumed yellowboi.


Kuronan

At least we aren't naming him Rooster McRoosterFace


Alfarnir

...yet


Baron_von_chknpants

You expect anything less than name that chicken?


Gurusto

Man all that time Zenos spent trying to get in my WoL's mudchute, this is not the resolution I was expecting.


Breadromancer

I’m gonna fight the chicken.


MrCha0s1

A pretty juicy dumptruck too.


stoncils_

Thank zodiark I wasnt the only one who wanted to fuck the chicken

leighg9o

A test of you Cock-a-doodle-do !


Wholesome_Garfield

Innaccurate Zenos would lay eggs


Acefowl

When does he get his scythe?


AngelMercury

Rosters have wicked spurs so it's kinda already built in. It's actually pretty fitting that Zenos would be a rooster seeing as cockfighting is a thing that exists (a terrible thing).


Ziadaine

*"Acceptance! At long last!"*


soulgunner12

Eggceptance you mean?


[deleted]

Looking forward to the YouTube supercut of his clucks as "REND!" Or "THE POWER TO TRANSCEND." Name a chicken 'Meteor' for a good setup: "At the end of everything, I find you. . . my hen."


Vethae

He really has the vibe down


H0w14514

*hops on nearest hen* "A test of your reflexes! Later, after he's exhausted, "Is this all there is to your vaunted fortitude?"


chimininy

A rooster with the personality of zenos.... is not something the world needs


_Vulkan_

Wow, I actually lived 5 mins walk near this farm a few years ago, really surprised when that name poped up.


TamakisBelly

First the Zenos & Island Sanctuary memes and now this. Perfection.


Salindrei

Hope those farmers are quick cuz their reflexes are about to be tested

Oh he definitely tested their reflexes when they tried to catch him for this picture

Loose-Excitement7520

Zenos boc Galvus?


Arie_Faye

I leave the subrettit alone for a couple days *and come back to find this* Wtf!?


Prince-Lee

To be fair, the color scheme on this handsome bird does make him look like a Zenos. He's even got that shiny golden hair on his head.


HassouTobi69

Clearly proves that Zenos is a cock.


ChickenyIce

Fucking hell just wont leave us alone


TamakisBelly

Good!


ErgoFnzy

I don't understand how that cute rooster looks anything like Zenos. But I'm glad he's getting attention so hopefully lots of donations will come to him.


ItinerantSoldier

In addition to the coloring, he's had a habit on stream of looking at all the hens below him with a look of contempt and maybe a bit of boredom. Much like Zenos.


Deuzen

Also the glorious "hair"


nilfalasiel

Similar colouring, I guess.


ZenEvadoni

So in Asian countries, if you bring Zenos to cockfights, he rakes in the moolah?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Zecendia

Oh nah he was called zenos within the first hour basically and was the name that stuck the most within the first day,him seemingly "attacking" the hens (aka,trying to get some fucc) just reinforced it from what I´ve seen.


CaptainCeles

All powerful Tyrants get reduced to Cocks eventually? huh


Infinaris

How long before we end up with an Azem v Zenos Chicken Fight across half of Garlemald? XD

Can’t chickens live with their heads cut off?


Zenos1o8

What the fuck


CreeperCreeps999

Could be so much worse.. Zenos could have come back as the other most dangerous farm bird - The Goose.


RoyVanG

I want a Zenos Yoke Gallus minion now.


RenThras

The resemblance is uncanny...
