Hug chase is a game you will play with your chickens at any time you need/want to pick them up. You will need to pick them up in order to
- administer the occasional health check,
- administer medicines and tonics,
- collect them when they run away and put themselves in danger,
- introduce them to your friends or nervous young children
- whenever you feel like a cuddle
Just like your childhood version, kiss chase, you will happily continue to try in the hope of success
Equipment
- 1 loving and caring chicken that is happy, or not, to be picked up. She may not always be loving and caring!
- Running shoes and trousers
- A blanket, if you get desperate
Aim of the game
The aim of this game is to pick up your chicken, whether she wants it or not
Rules:
- Hugs can be administered at any time
- Chickens do not have to be happy about rule 1
- Your chicken may choose to abandon the hug at any time once captured and can use any method at her disposal to achieve escape, including the less pleasant version of finders keepers
- Use of tasty foodie treats is totally allowed but probably won’t help
- Do not take your lack of hug achievement out on your plants, it’s not their fault your chicken has used the flower bed as an escape route
- Chickens can cheat at any time, they do have 360 degree vision and are watching you at all times even if you think they aren’t
- If your chicken abandons the hug before you are ready you lose, see rules 3 and 6
Winner
If you manage to have a hug you win, subject to rule 7
