Find the Chicken in this cut scene

Question

It has been said before that there is a chicken in every single cut scene in KCD, all 175 of them.
Now the challenge is can you find the chicken in this cut scene here. It comes from right after you play with Nightingale and before you're closing the tavern.

The issue with this cut scene is that I can't find a chicken anywhere and I am challenging anyone else to find one.

Best way to prove you know where the chicken is at is to give the time and say top right, top left, or bottom left or bottom right to look for the chicken.

In my experience, the devs are very good at hiding the chicken. Its living and it sometimes shows up for 1-2 frames.

Many times I think there is no chicken, but good god there is one, I keep finding one in a single frame or hidden perfectly if not looking frame by frame.

Its tough, but I am fairly certain there is a chicken there somewhere!

Best of luck!

Well there are many chickens in Rattay, but they’re just not visible in this cut scene (probably).

Yup, I am almost chalking this one up to something like that. However, the devs are really good at putting chickens in plain sight that are visible to naked eye. (Or the last 15 I have found).

It would seem sort of cheap for them to go "those dots of the screen!"

I want to say there might be a chicken on a roof or the walls like the outline.

Its driving me mad because I know its around.

Bathhouse yard visible count?

I don't think so sadly :( that would be too easy I am afraid.

Also for anyone else try to put the players at 720 at least. The reddit player at 360 is junk and can't see anything.

When you first arrive in Rattay, there is a chicken outside the mill window. That is the type of scene you will find them in.

Not sure how or when the chicken thing came to be every sutscene, or even every Main Quest cutscene. Frankly, it's odd that anyone would think a chicken to be in a night to day transition scene. It is not that literal.

The chickens only appear during MAIN SCENES of the MAIN QUEST, they are there. Having played the game dozens of times I have seen them dozens of times. Scenes where main characters are involved and usually, Henry is on screen immediately before or after.

Yah that might be a thing. I have seen numbers floated around that 175 cinematic cut scenes and each one has a chicken in it.

This thread back in March caught my attention and it was replied to by a Warhorse person.

Also old thread from 2019 says generally the same thing.

The main problem is that, what constitutes the 175 cinematic scenes if not this one with the day to night cycle?

I have other main story quest ones that I had no hope in finding the chicken so far. Others I have found it, but its like 1-2 frames and makes me jump like wtf!

So that is partly why I am asking for help because this one has me stumped!

Indeed I see the conundrum.

The chickens are sometimes well hidden and I have also only ever seen them for a frame or two.

I suppose technically there is probably a chicken somewhere on the screen considering such a large area is included.

Yup, I appreciate the response and understanding.

So far I have around 50ish chickens found. 10 of them were slam dunks. 30 of them were plain sight hidden, and other 10 were about as evil as can be.

I am doing frame by frame staring at the screen, changing the brightness ect and still can't find some of them.

Hopefully by this Tuesday ill put the first part of the video out about this.

This particular clip will most likely be a bonus/cry for help!

Ah I see you have gone quite in depth, then. I look forward to the video to be sure!

I suppose for the Rattay day/night one, it could be a silhouette in a window, or perched atop a building. That would be quite difficult to spot. Got myself going though that scene checking the windows at night now lol.

I think there are some chickens near the baker's house? Maybe claim chicken sighting on technicality of the birds eye view, heh.
