About the game
In Henhouse Havoc, it's an eye for an eye, and an egg for an egg! Each new day looks like the one before on Shuttyurtrapp Farm. Barely laid, the eggs in the henhouses vanish, as if by magic! It drives the farmers furious. The culprit: YOU! Choose a furry, feathery, or clawed army of pigs, moles, rabbits, or roosters to command, and make your opponents squeal…or squawk! Take sheaves from every enemy unit you defeat, then trade them for glorious eggs on the black market. Collect five eggs and keep your army alive, and you'll become the undisputed master of the henhouse. The hens will only have eggs for you!
