Cactus McCoy 1 Chicken

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.

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 Crate glitch

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.
