The rules of this battle are very simple. You are to develop a Chicken and submit its fully sequenced genome in text form.
Because text alone is not allowed in an ascii battle, you are also required to provide a visual representation of the chicken you have developed, in ascii. Detailed anatomical drawings are preferred to simple, basic poorly drawn sketches, which just simply are not good. [citation needed]

To those who would like to vote on the entries, cloning chickens has not been performed as of 2020[1], so there will not be any live chickens to vote on, but one should be able to read through the genome and understand what is going on fairly easily. Additionally, the visual drawing of the chicken's anatomy will be helpful in judging the quality of the entries.

Because the chicken was the first livestock animal to have a sequenced genome[2], there are plenty of informations online for you to work on your Chicken. It is a good idea to start with an already functional chicken, and simply tweak genes as you please, until you have created an excellent result. It is also a good idea to understand what these genes do, but it's not always neccessary. You can consider it like data bending but for real life organisms.

In order to be considered a proper Chicken, the entry will contain approximately 1.2 billion base pairs [3] plus additionally the artwork/diagrams at the bottom. You might think, well now that's going to be like a gigabyte, this won't possibly fit on battle of the bits." but actually this is extremely possible to compress it down to a small size, because the genome only uses four letters.

I hope that this battle will open up the way for more wetware chiptunes on battle of the bits. Thank you so much for your continued support. Love, pita
