Chickens are the main antagonists in the Chicken Invaders franchise. They are an intergalactic species of chickens bent on taking over (and later on destroying) Earth for oppressing their earthly brethren. They are known for being enormous (an ordinary chicken is as big as a small spaceship), being highly technologically advanced, as proven by many of the planet-sized constructions they can make like the CK-01 Henterprise and being an overall threat to the galaxy if not the whole universe.
History[]
Before the events of Chicken Invaders[]
We know very little about their past, but they must have appeared on an unknown planet, likely in the Foreign Galaxy, eventually becoming a space faring civilization and becoming what they are today. Sometime in-between, their earthly brethren have also appeared on Earth. Sometime after in the neolithic age, humans domesticated them and started exploiting them for food.
Chicken Invasion![]
Chickens eventually learned about what was happening to their relatives on Earth, and this made them very angry. Their leaders decided to invade and take over the entire Solar System, starting with Earth, bent on revenge for what humans have been doing to their brethren. As this was about to happen, our hero was taking an order from the local Space Burger store. He noticed this, and went to save Earth from the Chickens.
The Next Wave[]
The invasion in the first game was only a precursor to their main plan of taking over the entire Solar System. With more troops than ever and the Mother-Hen Ship, the Chickens were sure that they would win. But just like the last time, our hero went to save the solar system and defeat the Mother-Hen Ship with relative ease, successfully stopping the invasion.
Revenge of the Yolk[]
Now that the Hero stopped their invasion of the Solar System for revenge on humanity, they want to completely destroy Earth. Their plan was to secretly construct the Yolk-Star™ behind the sun, and use it to do just that. Our hero as usual went to the local Space Burger store to order a meal. Soon after that he noticed something behind the Sun, so he flew there and found the Yolk-Star™ still in its construction stages. After a short confrontation the Yolk-Star™ wanted to destroy the Hero by shooting its lasers at him. The Hero managed to defend himself from this attack, but he also got pushed into a Black Hole in the process, which sucked him in and had him arrive at the other end of the galaxy. After that, the Chickens dispatched troops across the galaxy to stop the hero before the Yolk-Star™ gets finished. He still manages to arrive at the Solar System just before the Yolk-Star™ was made operational, and destroys it, ending another invasion.
Ultimate Omelette[]
Since their invasion was stopped for the second time, they yet again decided to destroy Earth with a more powerful machine. They made The Egg Cannon, which was intended to shoot a giant egg at the Earth, have its yolk cook the surface temperature through the Sun, and blow it to smithereens. A mysterious pilot from another galaxy, Hen Solo, came through a Black Hole and warned our hero of their newest plan of destroying humanity. He followed Hen Solo into the Black Hole he came from, and arrived at the Chicken Testing Site, just as the Egg Cannon was tested in another galaxy close to the Milky Way. It then flew away, leaving the hero with a bunch of Chickens to defeat. This time, the Chickens were becoming so desperate that they started making their Chicks fight against him. The hero followed the way the Egg Cannon was heading to, eventually meeting Hen Solo again at the center of the galaxy. It used the Black Hole as a quick way to get to the Milky Way. The hero had to use it too because he had no other way of getting here fast enough, and he got lost between space and time quite a lot of times, before eventually returning to the Milky Way. He then defeated the Egg Cannon and ended the invasion once again.
Cluck of the Dark Side[]
After their third defeat, the Chickens made yet another plan to destroy humanity. This time they used the Henterprise to dispatch loads of feathers to block sunlight from coming to Earth, which would result in freezing it over. They're also using different breeds of Chickens for this invasion, with the "regular" ones being only represented by Chickenauts. It eventually arrived to the Solar System and did that just as the hero noticed this. He then confronted the Henterprise, but it flew away just as he was about to destroy it. After a bit of talking with the Narrator, the hero went to Madam Madámme, the galactic oracle, and consulted her on how to remove the sunlight-blocking feathers. While they were talking about having to construct and use the Humanity's Greatest Fan, the Chickens overheard them and dispatched their troops to these locations where they tried to get the Artifacts before him. The hero went across the galaxy, collected all of the Artifacts and consulted Madam on constructing the device. In the meantime, he also curiously stumbled upon the Henterprise retreating, which he still didn't get to defeat. He then had to land on Earth to mount the device, with there curiously being Chickens to stop him. He used it to blow the feathers off, but it also slightly pushed the Earth away from where it was. The Henterprise then came back for revenge, and the hero destroyed it and ended the invasion once again.
Universe[]
Completely unrelated to the episodes, the Chickens, as the evil Henpire, attempt to invade a different galaxy in this game. They are countered by the United Hero Force. This game also introduces a large variety of new types of Chickens.
Chicken Breeds[]
Chickens as of now have three different breeds known. Breeds only differ in the shape of their head.
Regular[]
This is the breed that has appeared in every Chicken Invaders game, except for taking a lesser role in Cluck of the Dark Side, being only represented by the Chickenauts.
Notable features of this breed are its straight comb and wattles and a small head, with the egg-shaped eyes going higher up to support the comb. Big Chickens and Chickenauts use the angry expression, while smaller Chickens of this breed don't.
In Universe, the comb and wattles change their color to yellow, to differentiate from the Freckled breed. Big Chickens of this breed, however, retain their coloration from the episodes.
Freckled[]
This is the first breed to be introduced with Cluck of the Dark Side, where it was represented by ordinary and pilot Chickens.
Notable features of this breed are its non-straight comb and pudgier head with rosy cheeks, with the eyes resting on the head. The wattles here are also more complex. All Chickens of this breed use the angry expression. The Slob Chicken uses a special, larger version of this breed's head.
Sergeant[]
This is the second breed to be introduced with Cluck of the Dark Side, where it was represented by Metal-suit Chickens and Big Chickens.
The design of the head is similar to the Freckled breed. This one's defining features are green combs and wattles, and differently shaped yellow beaks. The eyes have black eyelids and are more spherical compared to other breeds. All Chickens of this breed have an angry expression, except for the Party Chicken.
Klaus[]
This breed was introduced in Universe. Its design was inspired by chickens in the movie "Klaus". Unlike the other chickens, it has a beige, pudgier body. It features spherical eyes, a comb that faces forward, a tall beak, and a long, singular wattle.
Types of Chickens[]
Chickens have various types of troops they use during invasions.
Ordinary Chicken[]
Health:
Current Chapter (Chicken Invaders)
Chapter * 100 (The Next Wave onward)
First appearance:
Chicken Invaders (DOS Version)
Rarity:
Very Common
Weakness:
Bird-Flu Gun, Corn Shotgun
Strengths:
None
Attack:
Occasionally shoot an egg
Reward: 1-2 different units of Food, occasionally Powerup or Key, rarely 3 big Coins (15-20 Coins in The Next Wave)
Points: 900 + Chapter * 100 + vest color * 100 (0 - red, 1 - orange/blue, 2 - yellow, 3 - green, 4 - cyan, 5 - blue, 6 - purple, 7 - pink) (italic - only in The Next Wave), Chapter * 100 (Flash Versions
Description: Ordinary Chickens are the most common Chicken troops you'll get to fight. Being there since the very first game, the Ordinary Chicken's normal attack is simple - shoot an egg downward (in the direction opposite to which the hero is facing in Cluck of the Dark Side). Although they might seem quite easy, their real strength lies in their sheer numbers. In most of the waves you'll get to fight hordes of these, all ready to shoot an egg at your face, and this gets harder in the later sections of each game, as their eggs become faster and get shot at a quicker pace.
They're also very versatile. Need to home in on you? Pfft! Need to survive in harsh conditions just to get to our hero? No problem! Need to keep something with you to use it, like balloons? Easy! Need to fly in specific patterns? They can do all of this!
Because of how versatile Ordinary Chickens are, it's no wonder that they're the most common enemy you'll see.
Appearance: Their appearance is simple. They're normal Chickens that wear a vest. They can wear different suits, like leotards and underwear if you unlock them in their respective games (Ultimate Omelette and Cluck of the Dark Side). As for how they looked in-between each game, here's how it goes:
In Chicken Invaders (DOS Version), instead of being 3D rendered like in the following games, they were 16px sprites with three animation frames (wings up, side, down). They also had longer beaks.
In Chicken Invaders (DX Version), they were 3D rendered. They looked much more blockier and simplistic than they do now, because they were only made out of simple shapes. They never blinked, and their "vests" (or rather body textures) were always blue in normal formations, and pink when they had to fly around. They also have shorter beaks now.
In The Next Wave, nothing much changed aside from them being now able to wear vests in various colors. The colors of the vests decided on how many points you got from killing one.
> In the original version, the 360 degree chickens continue to have pink vests.
> In the remastered version, the 360 degree chickens have blue vests instead of pink vests.
In Revenge of the Yolk, their models were made more detailed - the vests looked actually like vests, the beak was made to look more natural, they could blink, and they now have a tongue.
In Ultimate Omelette, they were made more detailed again, the claws look more detailed, and their vests now have a stripped pattern. They can also look around now. With a certain unlockable, they may wear leotards.
In Cluck of the Dark Side, they're a different breed of chicken which has their combs no longer set in a straight line anymore. It also has their heads get more pudgier and they now always bear an angry expression. The vests they wear now have a zig-zag pattern instead of a stripe pattern. While underwater, they also wear diving helmets. With a certain unlockable, they may wear underwear instead of a vest.
As for the holiday editions:
The Christmas editions for Revenge of the Yolk and The Next Wave gave them only Christmas hats. The one for Ultimate Omelette also gave them star patterns on their vests. As for the one for Cluck of the Dark Side, it gave them Santa clothes.
The Easter edition for Revenge of the Yolk changed them into Hatchlings, which soon became the costume for the Super-Chick in the sequel. Their voices also alter. The one for Ultimate Omelette made them voiceless bunnies instead.
The Thanksgiving edition completely changed them and all other chickens into turkeys.
The Halloween edition changed them into vampire chickens with a skull shirt.
Drone Chicken[]
Rarity:
Common
Attack:
Occasionally shoot an egg mine
Description: These chickens are like no other - new chicken technology and research allows them to launch an egg mine that, when coming close to a spaceship, explodes and stays onscreen, remaining deadly for a few seconds. If they're above you, they aren't much of a threat as they can't directly attack you (unless they are Terminator Chickens). Make sure to have a Barbecuer in case there are several of these chickens and you have tight maneuverability.
Pilot Chicken[]
Health:
200 + Chapter * 100
First appearance:
Cluck of the Dark Side
Rarity:
Common
Weakness:
Bird-Flu Gun, Corn Shotgun
Strengths:
None
Attack:
Occasionally shoot two eggs at once
Reward: 1-2 different units of Food, occasionally Powerup or Key, rarely 3 big Coins
Points: 1350 + Chapter * 150
Description: Introduced in Cluck of the Dark Side in Wave 41, these chickens are better than Ordinary Chickens at fighting. They now shoot two eggs at once, making avoiding them harder, and they are now twice as tough! These aren't used as often as the ordinary ones.
Appearance: They are the "Freckled" breed of Chickens that wear a green pilot helmet, sunglasses, a belt, a medal, and something that resembles a swimsuit, typically green.
As for the holiday editions:
The Christmas edition doesn't change them at all, aside from making them wear boots.
The Halloween edition changes them into vampire chickens, just like Ordinary Chickens.
Metal-suit Chicken[]
Health:
Chapter * 150 (Ultimate Omelette) or 600 + Chapter * 100 in (Cluck of the Dark Side)
First appearance:
Ultimate Omelette
Rarity:
Uncommon
Weakness:
Bird-Flu Gun, Corn Shotgun
Strengths:
None
Attack:
Shoot a neutron downwards (or wherever gravity points at in Cluck of the Dark Side) which can turn up to 45 degrees left or right, sometimes aimed at the player if in range
Reward: 1-2 different units of Food, occasionally Powerup or Key, rarely 3 big Coins
Points: 1350 + Chapter * 150 in Ultimate Omelette or 800 + Chapter * 300 in Cluck of the Dark Side
Description: These guys are tough! They are the most advanced Chicken troops of this size you're going to see. Introduced later in both games they appeared in (wave 46 in Ultimate Omelette and wave 81 in Cluck of the Dark Side), those Chickens have been specially trained to be tougher than normal Chickens. They've got a dangerous attack - they can shoot a purple neutron downwards (or wherever gravity points at in Cluck of the Dark Side) which can turn up to 45 degrees left or right. They sometimes aim it at you if you're close enough too, so be wary of that. Not only this, they're also as versatile as normal Chickens, yet they aren't used as often.
In Universe, the freckled breed tries to dodge your shots, while the sergeant breed will move out of its attacking position upon getting hit.
Appearance: They are Chickens that wear an armored suit, and starting from Cluck of the Dark Side they have became the "Sergeant" breed of chicken, which has green combs, green wattles, black eyelids, and differently shaped yellow beaks. This Chicken breed resembles the look of Military and Party Chickens.
As for the holiday editions:
The Christmas edition makes them look more like elves, with hats and suits. As for Ultimate Omelette, all it does is give them Christmas hats to wear.
The Easter edition changes them into bunnies.
The Thanksgiving edition changes them into turkeys, as expected.
The Halloween edition changes them into vampire chickens, just like Ordinary Chickens.
Coward Chicken[]
Description: When hit, they fire droppings in the direction of the spaceship that attacked it, and enter a fleeing state for 3 seconds before being able to attack again. During the fleeing state, they will try to move and face away from the spaceship. This makes them dangerous to hit when they're very close to you, and hitting a lot of them quickly (such as with an area-of-effect weapon) will generate a lot of moving hazards.
Toxic Chicken[]
Description: They have no attack of their own. When killed, they leave behind a lingering toxic cloud for a few seconds. It becomes deadly one second after appearing.
Balloon Chicken[]
Health:
75 + Chapter * 25 for each balloon and the Chicken holding it
First appearance:
Revenge of the Yolk
Rarity:
Uncommon
Weakness:
None
Strengths:
None
Attack:
Occasionally shoot an egg (Except in Universe)
Reward: 1-2 different units of Food, occasionally Powerup
Points: 4000 + Chapter * 1000
Description: Balloon Chickens are special variants of Ordinary Chickens. They float around, holding onto their balloons. Once every balloon is popped, the Chicken holding it will fall. It's worth killing them, as they give much more points compared to ordinary Chickens. They only have appeared in three waves in Revenge of the Yolk. This enemy won't returned until Universe (as of latest updates).
Appearance: Their appearance is simple. They're ordinary Chickens of the regular breed with a red/gray vest, holding onto colored balloons.
Editions do not affect them, though they retain some things from ordinary Chickens in the Easter edition (different eggs, higher pitched clucks).
Alchemist Chicken[]
Description: This chicken throws flasks in an area near the spaceship that create a stasis field. The ship moves much slower while inside the field. They will stop attacking once all the flasks on their belt are broken. Alchemist Chickens also have much more health than regular Chickens.
Chiller Chicken[]
Description: It spawns with a single snowball in its wings. When coming close, it will raise the snowball, and it will throw it at the spaceship once it moves away. Hitting the snowball results in a speed reduction to 10% of the original speed for a second, a small screen shake, and the obscuring of a small area of the screen for a few seconds. Hitting multiple snowballs in a quick succession only results in resetting the timer for the speed reduction. It can no longer attack after throwing the snowball. Dimensional Phase-outs do not offer protection against them.
Once it dies, it leaves a lingering frost cloud for a few seconds. While inside the cloud, firing weapons will not generate any heat.
This chicken is 50% more common in frozen environments, and 50% less common in hot environments.
Phoenix Chicken[]
Description: As the spaceship moves around, it forms a fireball in its body and tosses it at the ship. The throw isn't always accurate and has a chance to overshoot it. Hitting the fireball will cause instant overheat/coolant use, no matter which weapon is in use. Dimensional Phase-outs do not offer protection against them.
This chicken is 50% less common in frozen environments, and 50% more common in hot environments.
UFO Chicken[]
Health:
800 + Chapter * 200 (falling UFO has 1400)
First appearance:
Ultimate Omelette
Rarity:
Uncommon
Weakness:
Neutron Gun, Photon Swarm, Plasma Rifle, Hypergun
Strengths:
Corn Shotgun, Bird-Flu Gun
Attack:
Occasionally shoot an egg directly at you
Reward: Rarely 1-2 different Burgers, rarely 3 big Coins, occasionally Powerup or Key
Points: 5000 (Falling UFO gives 1337)
Description: Using Advanced UFO Technology™, these Chickens' eggs can overcome forces of gravity. Now they can be shot directly at you! Not only that, they're also quite strong, as they have a lot more health than an ordinary Chicken. When destroyed, an ordinary Chicken and a falling UFO will spawn in their place. The saucer rotates about 90° before really falls and is invincible in the duration.
Appearance: They are ordinary Chickens inside an UFO. After depleting half of its health, the UFO begins to spin frantically, and the glass part gets broken.
In Cluck of the Dark Side, the UFOs were made shinier, and the Chicken inside is now of the "Freckled" breed.
The editions change the Chicken inside's appearance to what they changed the ordinary Chickens into, except for Ultimate Omelette's Christmas and Easter editions where they oddly don't change.
Submarine Chicken[]
Health:
5000
First appearance:
Cluck of the Dark Side
Rarity:
Very Rare (Only appeared so far on Epsilon Thalassus)
Weakness:
None
Strengths:
None
Attack:
Occasionally shoot a torpedo to the left
Reward: occasionally Powerup or Key
Points: 9000
Description: Some of the Chickens decided that they won't wear diving helmets on their underwater mission, and instead build a submarine specifically for use on underwater missions. While inside the submarine, the Chicken is able to shoot torpedoes to the left side of the screen, which can be dangerous. Because of their very specific use, the Chicken Submarines are used very rarely, having been used so far only in two waves.
Appearance: They are the "Freckled" breed of Chickens inside a submarine that's loosely based off a Chicken, with parts that resemble a comb, a wing, and a foot. When half of its health is depleted, the metal parts will crunch.
The special editions don't change them at all.
Slob Chicken[]
Description: Much larger than an Ordinary Chicken. They lag behind the chicken formations they are in. When hit, they may fire a ring of droppings with a 1.2% chance.
Chickenaut[]
Health:
1750 + Chapter * 250
First appearance:
Ultimate Omelette
Rarity:
Uncommon
Weakness:
None
Strengths:
Corn Shotgun, Bird-Flu Gun
Attack:
Shoot three neutrons in random directions.
Reward: 5 different units of Food, occasionally Powerup or Key
Points: 20000
Description: Much larger than an Ordinary Chicken, but not quite the size of a Big Chicken, those guys are some of the toughest troops in the Chicken army. Their astronaut suit gives them extra protection and allows them to shoot three green neutrons in random directions. They're also very resistant to rockets and splash damage, as they can only take up to 1000 damage at once. Luckily, you don't get to see them very often, as the first time you meet them, they're only a mini-boss, and afterwards, still not often enough.
Appearance: They are Chickens that wear an astronaut suit, and in Cluck of the Dark Side, their suits were made shinier. They're the only representants of the "regular" breed of Chicken in this game. Each 1/4ths taken off, his suit will break more and more. First the helmet, then the shoes, then the upper waist part.
The special editions don't change them at all, except for the Thanksgiving edition, which turns them into turkeys and slightly alters the suit destruction.
Armored/ Copy Chicken[]
Health:
4500 + Chapter * 500
First appearance:
Cluck of the Dark Side
Rarity:
Very Uncommon
Weakness:
None
Strengths:
None
Attack:
Occasionally shoot 3 bullets spaced out 120° between each other.
Reward: occasionally Powerup or Key
Points: 11000
Description: Some Chickens decided that they needed extra protection from our Hero, something even better than using an UFO, so they built metal egg ships for use only for themselves. Not only does this armor increase mobility in certain conditions, such as strong winds, it also allows the Chickens to shoot three bullets spaced out 120° between each other inside it, just like the Chickenauts. They're also very resistant to splash damage, as they can only take up to 2000 damage at once. However, once the egg ship is destroyed, the Ordinary Chicken inside doesn't survive, unlike UFO Chickens. They don't get used too often, since they're usually introduced in the later chapters.
Appearance: They are the "Freckled" breed of Chickens inside a metal egg ship with four exhaust pipes. When each 1/3rds of its health is depleted, the metal parts will crunch.
The Halloween edition turns the Chicken inside into a vampire, while the Christmas edition doesn't change them at all.
Big Chicken[]
Health:
Varies, between 4000 and 125000
First appearance:
Chicken Invaders (DOS Version)
Rarity:
Rare, used as Bosses
Weakness:
Varies
Strengths:
Varies
Attack:
Varies
Reward: 8-12 different units of Food, occasionally Powerup
Points: Varies, usually between 10000 and 200000
Description: Because of their huge size and toughness, these baddies are usually used as bosses. Their attacks vary wildly between each Big Chicken, but most of the time, their attacks involve shooting eggs at a faster rate than an Ordinary Chicken. You can read more on this type of Chicken on their page.
Appearance: They are at least twice as big as an Ordinary Chicken, and their attire varies between each Big Chicken. Some of them can be also of different breeds, such as the Military Chicken.
In the holiday editions, their appearance is changed to something that fits their themes, here are some of the examples:
> The Christmas edition of The Next Wave and Revenge of the Yolk makes it wear Santa clothes, while in Ultimate Omelette, their appearance is surprisingly unaffected.
> The Easter edition of Revenge of the Yolk turns it into a voiceless Easter Bunny, while in Ultimate Omelette, their appearance is surprisingly unaffected.
> The Thanksgiving edition of Ultimate Omelette, the only edition to affect Big Chickens as well, turns it into a Big Turkey, with an oval on the chest instead of a vest.
Chick[]
Health:
Chapter * 50
First appearance:
Ultimate Omelette
Rarity:
Very Common
Weakness:
Bird-Flu Gun, Corn Shotgun
Strengths:
None
Attack:
Occasionally shoot their guano
Reward: Rarely 1-2 Twin Legs, occasionally Powerup or Key
Points: 450 + Chapter * 50
Description: Having joined since the fourth invasion, these youngsters will also be the most common Chicken troops you'll get to fight. They are much more disposable, as a Chick is half as strong as an ordinary Chicken. Their attack also resembles the one their older brethren use: shooting their guano in the direction opposite to which the hero is facing, but they don't do that as often. Even at this young age, they are able to use complex technology, such as gatling guns and UFOs. They're also as much versatile as the adult Chickens.
Appearance: They are just Chicks. Nothing too special. The only thing that's worth noting is that unlike adult Chickens, they don't wear any clothing. While underwater, they also wear snorkels and flippers. They are also able to look around since Cluck of the Dark Side.
As for the holiday editions:
The Christmas edition of Cluck of the Dark Side makes them become gingerbread cookies, while the Ultimate Omelette edition makes them wear Christmas hats, just like their older counterparts.
The Easter edition makes them wear eggs as clothing in order to resemble Hatchlings.
The Thanksgiving edition changes them into poults.
The Halloween edition makes them wear a white sheet with black dots as eyes put on it.
Ninja Chick[]
WIP
Description: These chicks have masks like those of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (which aren't really much like ninja outfits at all). They are aggressive, and move towards you if you get close to them. If they are flying in formation, they won't leave that formation completely, but they will move well outside of their proper positions.
Pirate Chick[]
WIP
Description: These chicks have eye patches. They try to avoid being in your line of fire. If they are flying in formation, they won't leave that formation completely, but they will move somewhat away from their proper positions.
Assassin Chick[]
Description: When hit, they become red and angry, chase you as terminators. Unlike the other chicks, they don't shoot a guano straight at you. They are mirrored version of Ninja Chicks. It is NOT advisable to use high AoE weapons against groups of these chickens as this can create several moving threats, especially on high difficulties. You should only kill them if your weapon is strong enough to one-shot them, especially in small areas (ex. Trapped, Stacker, Wormhole).
UFO Chick[]
Health:
600 + Chapter * 100 (falling UFO has 1400)
First appearance:
Ultimate Omelette
Rarity:
Uncommon
Weakness:
Neutron Gun, Photon Swarm, Plasma Rifle, Hypergun
Strengths:
Corn Shotgun, Bird-Flu Gun
Attack:
Occasionally shoot two powered up guanos at once
Reward: Rarely 1-2 Twin Legs, rarely 3 big Coins, occasionally Powerup or Key
Points: 2500 (Falling UFO gives 1337)
Description: Using Advanced UFO Technology™, these Chicks' guano is now powered up, as it's green and much larger than a normal Chick's guano. Not only that, they can shoot two of them at once now! It makes those Chicks become a much bigger threat than the normal ones. They're also much tougher while inside an UFO. After being destroyed, a Chick and a falling UFO will spawn in their place. The saucer rotates about 90° before really falls and is invincible in the duration.
Appearance: They are Chicks inside an UFO. After depleting half of its health, the UFO begins to spin frantically, and the upper glass part gets destroyed.
In Chicken Invaders 5, the UFOs were made shinier.
The editions change the Chicken inside's appearance to what they changed the ordinary Chickens into, except for Ultimate Omelette's Christmas and Easter editions where they oddly don't change.
Chick Gatling Gun[]
Health:
10000 + Chapter * 1000
First appearance:
Cluck of the Dark Side
Rarity:
Uncommon
Weakness:
None
Strengths:
None
Attack:
Periodically shoot 2-3 eggs (8 eggs in Chick Gatling Gun wave) at you in a rapid succession.
In Weaving Through Traffic, Chick Loop, Egg Billiards, ... they start firing in turns, otherwise, all Chick Gatling Gun in the field would start firing simultaneously.
Reward: Powerup 50% of the time or occasionally Key
Points: 13000
Description: The Chicks wanted to be tougher just like their older brethren, so they built a machine gun which they can operate. While inside it, they can turn around and shoot eggs at you in a rapid succession. This can make them tough to fight. However, this comes with a price. The Chick operating the machine gun won't survive after it's destroyed (Except in Universe). The Chicks while inside are also quite resistant to splash damage, as they can only take up to 3500 damage.
Appearance: They are Chicks operating a four-barrelled machine gun. In front of the gun there's a display showing how much health it has remaining.
The holiday editions don't change their appearance.

Appearance: They are Chicks that have been frozen over.
The holiday editions don't change their appearance.
Trivia[]
- Sergeant breed Chickens are internally referred to as "FaceElmo".
- Balloon Chickens at first were harder, faster and a single Missile was not enough to kill them.
- In version 29.1, the Coward Chickens uses the death sound of the Ordinary Chicken when killed. In version 30.1, it uses the death sound of the Chick.
