About Chicken Miner
Chicken Miner is a casual indie game where players use a toy hammer to catch chickens on a hunting ground and then deliver them to a mine. The captured chickens become workers that mine minerals, while a capsule machine offers random prizes, including occasional special chickens.
The title features 56 distinct chicken types and, on rare occasions, mutant chickens with different colors. It runs in single‑player mode on Windows and supports Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing.
01 / THE GUIDE
Hunting Grounds
The hunting grounds are the area where players seek out and catch chickens. Using a toy hammer, players can capture as many chickens as they can, after which the birds are sent to the mine.
This area contains a variety of chicken types, providing the primary source of birds for the mining operation.
- Observe the different chicken appearances to decide which ones to target first.
- Cover the whole hunting area to increase the total number of chickens caught.

Mine Workers
Captured chickens travel to the player's mine where they act as workers. Their role is to mine minerals, contributing to the player's progress.
Each chicken that arrives adds to the workforce, which can affect the amount of minerals gathered over time.
- Maintain a steady flow of chickens to keep the mining operation active.
- Balance catching new chickens with keeping the existing workforce supplied.

Capsule Machine
Players can draw capsules from a machine that contains various prizes. The contents are random, offering a chance at different rewards.
Among the possible prizes is a special chicken, which can be obtained if luck favors the player during a draw.
- Use the capsule machine after a successful hunting session for a chance at extra chickens.
- Track the prizes you receive to gauge how often special chickens appear.
