Chickin' Chase

An invitation to stack up a staggering score within the confines of a henhouse has been extended by Firebird. The heroes may only be paltry poultry and the price mere chicken feed, yet the game is definitely not bottom of the pecking order.

Just as in the savage, harsh world of free-range Sussex Lights, your mission as cockerel is to gobble up as much corn as possible, slip down the odd worm, shoo off vermin with vicious pecks and, er, well... sort of perpetuate the species.

Strutting around your domain, you must be on the alert for various egg-eaters like rats, stoats, snakes, hedgehogs and badgers.

As matrimonial duties leave a rooster somewhat drained, there's an urgent need to rebuild your fighting strength by tucking in. If you prove quite good at being a protective dad and loving hubby, there will be quite a procession of yellow chicks tripping down from the nests, if not, watch out for the rolling pin... boing! Could prove quite catchy to barmy game-lovers.
