I came here for help. I'm a sionChicken addict, and admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery.

I have 75. And they are so damn cute (shh don't tell my guy friends I said that).

I know it's making Sion rich to buy food for the lil monsters.

I know most of what they really eat are prims on my land, making me buy more.

I know I've spent hours building coops for breeding with egg catchers, coops that keep roosters apart, food dispensers, chat relays so I don't have to babysit them, breeding/color conversion charts, etc.

I know Sion is greedy as hell not only for the food to keep them alive, but also for changing the commission vendors to giving 0% for promoting his products. Interesting business/marketing plan. By interesting I mean it isn't smart.

I know they lag sims, altho v11 is better. I manage 50 sims and can tell you before the update the sim lag was horrendous. We got complaint after complaint.

I know the sounds drive me batty, altho muting sounds did fix that.. heh

These lil bast**** better start laying more colorful eggs soon so I can sell them for more.

So yes, I'm addicted to these stupid, laggy, scammy, adorable chickens. Please help.

Chicken should be fried or served in dumplings.

I think I like chickens better than pushy vampires.

They sound like Tamagotchi. I had one of those a day or two before I let it die.

What is the appeal?

Little Ben was shocked to discover that Mommy's new chicken friends were not foodz.

But the third job, some call it, uh, "the show" or "the big dance," it's the profession that every linden aspires to.

Did he write "sion chickens lag down a sim"?
and don't those little bastards breed?
and you have to buy more and more chicken food, and you have the _chance_ that they lay eggs that you can sell...


... sounds like a pyramid scheme to me, coupled with "abuse of grid ressources".

I thought you typed you ARE 75! I wondered what age had to do with it and pondered dementia.

Is SionChicken a church group? Like ZionChicken? Confused.

Random reward, Vegas was based upon it.
