About the Game

This is not your parents' chicken farming simulator. Granted, they probably didn't have a chicken farming simulator, but still!

Starting your journey as a humble farmer, you will improve and expand, unlocking and rediscovering the long lost secrets to the chicken genome. What secrets might you ask? Polka dots. And rainbow stripes. And super speed. Design your own farm, collect your crops, and create new and unique chickens in this indie pixel-art game.

Best of Both Worlds

Are you a fan of the relaxing farming aesthetic of Stardew Valley and a classic idle gameplay style? How about the strategy of a genetic evolution simulator? What about open world RPGs and trading card games? Well we don't have that last one, but The Chicken Game blends problem solving, creativity, and fun.

Pick Your Playstyle

From casual players who farm for fun, to hardcore gamers who play to win, there is always a path for you to take. Follow along with a series of advancements, work to bring back the lost legendary chickens of old, or simply design the pen of your dreams—you're never forced to "progress" towards a finish line just to have fun.


No chickens were harmed in the making of this game.
