I would both encourage and appreciate if people took the time to fill out the wiki with their testing, speculation, etc. My goal with this is to replicate some of the most fun I had at ss13 back when I started playing, which was the efforts to which players would collaborate to hypothesize and test how the game works and sharing their results on forums and the wiki.
Not commenting on the general thread statements, but this particular statement is news to me, and I assume many others. The general understanding is that chickens are secret content and a lot of the in-depth mechanics about it aren't allowed to be publicly shared, I know there's Google Docs that contain much more in-depth information that's not on the wiki precisely *because* I think most people don't think we're allowed to share all information on the wiki. It's not made very clear that it's "non-secret closed source", because it's not very congruent with literally any other closed source part of the game, which typically is not allowed to be publicly shared, and particularly made more confusing because things like Space Chicken and Time Chicken are listed as Secret on said wiki.
Additionally, Wikis are typically meant to represent "as-is" information, it's not very helpful for new players picking up ranching if there's mechanics that "may or may not actually be true" listed on the wikipedia as possibly true.
