DESCRIPTION:
Chicken Run is set on a 1950s Yorkshire chicken farm and follows a group of loveable chickens as they try to break out of their confinement.

Trapped behind barbed wire, fearing for their very lives, the player must help Ginger and her fellow flock to make a break for freedom whilst avoiding the evil Mrs. Tweedy and her oafish husband who want to turn them into chicken pies. When an American rooster named Rocky lands in the farm, Ginger sees her chance - these chickens won’t cross the road; they’ll fly the coop.

Together they prove that chickens are anything but, as they engage in a daring and spectacular escape.
