🐔

chicken is a type of post supported by ~~idno~~Known, and were initially a proof of concept for post-type plugin development, but high levels of chicken interest in the community has driven further development.

Why

This is the classic cold start problem of social. The answer to the traditional chicken-and-egg question is actually answerable: what comes first is a single chicken, and then another chicken, and then another chicken, and so on. The harder version of the question is why the first chicken came and stayed when no other chickens were around, and why the others followed.
