Everybody needs a fun chicken

There was one of those in Cherokee, NC, I remember that chicken would always win too!
 
I do kind of have one. Mine is a parrot that talks, moves and dispenses eggs. Best $50 I ever spent.

That is so great. You have to post a video of it doing its thing for ultimate nostalgia ;)
 
I've passed on buying those and continue to search for a different chicken coin-operated game. This one contains several chickens (probably about 4) all in a row and they dance or sing to tunes. I've seen a youtube video of it ONCE and can't find it. Not sure how I came across the damn video but it was soo cool, and I think I recall seeing it at some arcade or restaurant back in the 80s.

There's one that uses live chickens but that's not it.
 
Very nice find! Does it work fully?

I have recently purchased 4 Tomy Gacha toy vending machines and I have bee sinking in cash into collecting prizes for etc. Eggs are easy to get especially at Easter time or at orientaltrading.com
