The player controls, using keyboard or joystick, a farmer who has two conflicting tasks - to catch eggs falling from a hen house and place them in a truck, while also shooting poachers and foxes (and the odd bird).

Points are scored for each bird or poacher shot, and the game ends when six eggs have been dropped. The pace of the game speeds up as you go along, but there is only one scenario; this could give the game limited playability.

Instructions are far too brief but adequate if you don't mind a little experimentation. You pick the gun up and drop it by moving to screen left, and put the eggs in the lorry by moving to screen right.

The graphics are quite good, especially the animation of the farmer.
