Les graphiques est un peu blocky et not quite what nous are accustomed to mais le game n'est pas le demi bad though l'appeal may warie. Read Review

Initially entertaining, the action is more frantic than varied and the chicken graphics are blocky and unappealing. Read Review

Great impact and excellent high scoring potential. Gets hard as the animals flood in but a trifle monotonous. Read Review
Full Instructions
The Game
As translated from the French by C. A. Havelock.
The life of a cockerell, it is not always so very nice. He has to defend the chicken house against his insatiable enemies. And he must eat to keep up his strength so that he is able to honour the requests of Madame.
Never forget that a gallant visit can leave you powerless to fight the hedgehogs, rats, stoats, snakes and other terrible beasts that are so fond of the oeufs. You can replenish your energy from the grain store in the chicken house.
Game Controls
