Chickens



Chickens appear in Modern Warfare 2 and World at War in the single player level The Hornet's Nest, and the Bomb Squad Special Ops level based on the same mission. In multiplayer, they are featured on the maps Rundown, Karachi and Underpass. They appear in very small cages, flapping their wings and clucking. If shot, they will let out a squawk, spin round, and die in a flurry of feathers and blood.

The chickens are there mainly in the game for cosmetic purposes and do not count for any momentum for killing one.

In World at War, there is only a dead chicken that appears in Upheaval.

Achievements/Trophies
The achievement/trophy "Colonel Sanderson" can be gained by killing ten chickens in seven seconds in "The Hornet's Nest".

An easy way to get this is to go to the back of the market with a LMG and Mini-Uzi or Glock 18 akimbos because of their large ammo and rate of fire. They will probably not need to be reloaded. In an alleyway near the back there are 8 chickens. Throw a grenade at the group of eight run to the group of seven and spray some rounds into them to make sure. The player should get it easily this way.

Trivia

 * When the Tactical Nuke is used, even though all players will die, chickens will somehow survive.


 * The "Colonel Sanderson" achievement is a direct reference to the KFC line of restaurant's owner who was called Colonel Sanders.


 * Chickens do not appear on Heartbeat Sensors or Thermal Scopes, this is likely intended so that they do not distract or mislead the player.


 * Predator Missiles do not kill chickens.


 * On Prestige Mode when the player gets into the final stage of prestiging, if the player presses cancel, they will hear a chicken clucking to mock the player.
 * The chickens can be loud. At times it is possible to hear them over the rain in Underpass even when far away.
