[(Part One is Here)](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/270899/the-quest-for-the-winter-chickens-of-the-bash)

As every year winter has come... and as every year the hunt for hats and secret has started. So, following the [recent events in the Tavern](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/304285/what-is-the-chicken) I was following the Chicken tracks back to the Winter Bash site.

Sadly with all the snow, following our little feathered fellow tracks was harder than expected, so I was just snooping around, looking for (chicken) Easter Eggs, and as every year the common test check-list that purple one provided was yielding nothing noteworthy (5 years later, still no dancing cats / bjb animation fro inputting the Konami code on the bash site...).

Then, I remembered sometime ago someone implied something about a Turkey hat possibly be considered as a secret hat for this year. And since secret hats have been historically know to have an url like 

> https://winterbash2017.stackexchange.com/(hat_name_here)

I tried with 

> https://winterbash2017.stackexchange.com/turkey

Nothing, page not found.

Then, it came to me.
What about trying with.... **The Chicken**?

> https://winterbash2017.stackexchange.com/chicken

This time the results were different.
I got this.

An access denied sign and a chicken?
That's.. weird.

So, my <s>pony</s> human friend, I am left wondering. Is that just a minor taunt Balpha left there knowing some Derpy user would probably try what I tried or is that a clue to uncover the greater secret of the Winter Chicken of the Bash?
