# The 'Ninuno' System

**Genesis and Legacy chickens** hold the key to expanding bloodlines through the **‘*****Ninuno*****’ system**. When a Genesis or Legacy chicken becomes the founder of a lineage, it earns **10% of breeding fees** from that entire bloodline, providing long-term passive rewards.

“***Ninuno**”* means **ancestor** in Tagalog/Filipino, reflecting its core purpose of establishing lineage within the Chicken Saga universe. This exclusive feature is **only available to both Legacy and Genesis Chickens**, giving them a unique role in shaping the Chicken Saga universe.

**Important notes:**

* If **multiple founders** are attached to a new breed, the 10% share is distributed among all founding chickens. This means the 10% fee is collective for all founders involved in each breeding.
* If you **sell or transfer** your founding chicken, the *Ninuno* rewards will be accumulated by the new owner.
* If a **Legacy chicken dies**, it will no longer produce Ninuno rewards.
