Roosting was the first component of the Chikn gaming ecosystem and is a fundamental component of the meta.

There are currently two NFTs that can be added to a player’s roost:

* chikn NFTs
* Roostr NFTs

Each produces different tokens at variable rates that depend on the individual NFTs upgradable metadata, specifically its KG, or ‘Killergainz’.

<mark style="color:red;">**Roosted chikn lay $EGG. It’s science.**</mark>

<mark style="color:red;">**Roosted Roostr squirt $FERT. It’s also science.**</mark>

To produce more resources in the Roost, increase the NFT's KG. This is done for chikn by giving them $FEED and for Roostr by feeding them $EGG. See the section on [Leveling](https://docs.chikn.farm/gaming/roosting/leveling) for more information.

A bird's roost is its castle, and your Roost is your castle away from… castle? Players can customize the name of their Roost by editing their wallet name—see the section on [CNS & RNS](https://docs.chikn.farm/nfts/chikn-nft/cns-and-rns) for more details.

All Roosts collectively make the Barn—the entire collection of roosted chikn and Roostr. To view where your Roost sits on the leaderboard, head to [Chikn > Leaderboard and navigate to the ‘Roost’ tab](https://chikn.farm/leaderboardv2/?tab=roost). Players can see their position at the top and sort the leaderboard by rank, total KG, number of Chikn, average weight per chikn, and estimated daily $EGG.
