ABSTRACT:
A game including a hollow housing in the shape of a chicken or hen having an outlet opening for a marble which represents an egg. An inclined ramp leads from the marble outlet opening. A detent is located in the inclined ramp to restrain movement of a marble past the detent on the ramp. A shield extends over the detent to restrict access to a marble retained by the detent. An opening extends through the shield to permit generally vertical access to a marble held by the detent. An electrically conductive ring encircles the opening. A circular magnet is mounted on the underside of the electrically conductive ring generally coaxial therewith. A metal probe having an insulated handle is provided with an insulated electric wire connecting the metal probe to a battery power supply. A direct current miniature motor and the electrically conductive ring are provided in an electrical circuit with the battery power supply and probe so that the engagement of the metal probe with the electrically conductive ring completes the circuit and actuates the direct current electric motor. A shuttle driven by the electric motor through a gearing arrangement actuates wings pivotally attached to the hollow housing on opposite sides thereof to create noises and a visual effect indicating that the player failed to remove an egg without disturbing the chicken.
