About Cheeky Chooks
Cheeky Chooks lets you build a chicken empire from a modest dust‑bowl into a sprawling free‑range mega‑ranch. You hatch countless chooks, each with its own name, bio and sentient AI, and keep them happy to earn profits.
The game runs on Windows and macOS, offers a sandbox building system, a full day/night cycle, changing weather, minigames, events and chook facts. It’s ad‑free, has no in‑app purchases, supports single‑player and family sharing, and was created by Trilum Studios with RSPCA Australia.
01 / THE GUIDE
Sandbox Ranch Construction
You can place buildings anywhere on your land and rotate them to suit your design, giving you full control over the layout of your chicken empire. The sandbox approach encourages personal flair, letting you shape the ranch exactly how you envision it.
Because there are no ads or in‑app purchases, you can expand from a small dust bowl to a gigantic mega‑ranch without ads or in‑app purchases.
- Experiment with building placement early to discover efficient layouts.
- Use rotation to fit structures into tighter spaces as your ranch grows.

Diverse Chook Types
The game features many different chooks, each classified by type and rarity, offering a wide collection to discover and hatch. Every chook is unique, carrying its own name, biography and fully sentient AI, which adds personality to the herd.
While the exact number isn’t specified, the description emphasizes a large variety, encouraging players to seek out and hatch as many distinct chooks as possible.
- Take note of each chook’s bio to appreciate their individuality.
- Prioritize hatching rarer types if you enjoy collection goals.

Happiness Drives Profit
Keeping chooks happy directly influences egg quality, which translates into higher profits for your ranch. Neglecting their needs—such as overcrowding or hunger—can lead to financial loss and moral bankruptcy.
Missions guide you to improve conditions, and successful completion unlocks upgrades and buildings that further support chook welfare and revenue growth.
- Monitor chook crowding to avoid profit penalties.
- Feed regularly to maintain consistent happiness levels.

Dynamic Seasons and Weather
Cheeky Chooks features a changing day/night cycle alongside seasonal shifts and weather patterns. These environmental changes affect how you must protect your chooks, adding a layer of strategic planning.
Adapting to changing weather and night conditions helps you protect your chooks from bad weather and boredom.
