A Chicken.
Chicken is an animal in the Cactus McCoy universe which McCoy can lift. When a chicken is idle, it walks left and right on the platform it stands and it does not do anything to hurt McCoy.
As McCoy carries a chicken, he can float in the air for a while if he jumps and goes toward any direction.
They also appear in the second game. There, they appear in the fourth area, Prickly Prairie, and can help with a challenge. They also appear in the fifth area, Southwind Express, where they help with reaching the fourth Treasure Chest. Parrots also appear in Cactus McCoy 2, which work just like a Chicken.
Appearance[]
All chickens in the Cactus McCoy universe have white feathers, just like that of the real world's.
Hits it takes to kill each type of Enemigo (Cactus McCoy 1).[]

Trivia[]
- Cactus McCoy's ability to glide when carrying a chicken is likely a nod to the Legend of Zelda franchise, where in most 3D games, Link can carry the in-game cuccoos, and glide with them.
- If you throw a chicken into a bottomless pit, rather than being lost or dead, the chicken will respawn in its main point, by falling from the sky. The same applies to parrots.
Glitches[]

Chicken glitch.
In Cactus McCoy, if a chicken is set or tossed on a crate, they will, naturally, walk left or right. However, when they do, they will walk off of the crate and start walking on air. After a few seconds, they will flap their wings as if tossed, and fall onto the ground. Also, if a chicken is on a crate and then the crate is destroyed, the chicken will stay on the air.
