Mechanical Chicken

Want a chicken for vanity or big profits? You need to start by grabbing each of these:

[item=8704] from The Hinterlands (Personal stats: Killed some stalkers, some trolls, some owlbeasts (about 20 all told)... Then killed my first ooze at Skulk Rock, and it dropped)
[item=8623] from Tanaris (Personal stats: Went into Zul'Farrak like all other posters recommend, killed some twenty or thirty trolls and scarabs, and it dropped from one of the troll corpses)
[item=8705] from Feralas (Personal stats: As recommended by many other posters, Feral Scar Yetis - dropped on my first kill)

1. 
   
2. Only available if you have not already completed the quest.
3. 
   
4. Yes these still drop in Cata.
5. 
   
6. Yes it can drop off ANY mob in the respective zone, however [item=8705] has the highest drop rate from [npc=5292] IF you haven't already done the quest.
7. 
   
8. It WILL eventually drop - some days RNG is your best friend, other days you want to repeatedly punch a kitten (or other obscenely fluffy creature) just to illustrate how cruel the universe can be.
9. 
   
10. The command to check if you have completed ANY of the distress beacon quests is a two step process:
    
    • 
      
    • It will not work if you create this as an actual macro within the game - I highlight this point because it is the main reason why so many are unable to make it work. You can create two separate macros and run them in succession, but a single macro with both scripts will be a dud.
    • 
      
    
    
    • 
      
    • Open up your chat pane - yes you're going to be chatting. It can be /g /say /r - just not an in-game macro. First copy and paste this:
    • 
      
    
    
    

    /run f,z=CreateFrame('frame'),{[836]='The Hinterlands',[648]='Tanaris',[25476]='Feralas'};f:RegisterEvent('QUEST_QUERY_COMPLETE')

    
    
    • 
      
    • Hit enter. Nothing will happen. It's not ready yet. It will work, if you copy and paste the following into your very next chat pane:
    • 
      
    
    
    

    /run local s,t;f:SetScript('OnEvent',function() t=GetQuestsCompleted();for c,v in pairs(z) do if t[c] then s='' else s=' not' end print('You have'..s,'found OOX in',v) end end);QueryQuestsCompleted()

    
    
    • 
      
    • Hit enter. You will see three lines of dialogue now showing you which quests have and have not been completed:
    • 
      
    
    
    

    You have not found OOX in The Hinterlands
    You have not found OOX in Tanaris
    You have found OOX in Feralas

    
    
11. 
    
    
12. After completing all three escorts, you can then acquire the quest An OOX of Your Own and get your [item=10398].

Happy hunting!
