Leave it to LOTRO players to see the new landmark tower in the game as a goal for Chicken Play! We received some fun pictures from Halcomb of Brandywine showing his chicken in the new Rise of Isengard areas.
Hello Goldenstar and Merric this is Halcomb from Brandywine. I don’t know if anyone has made it to Orthanc as a chicken, at least I have not seen a pic yet but here is mine. A warg rider snuck up on me when i was trying to get close to the troll.
Indeed Halcomb is not alone as Dolnor of Gladden shared this photo in the Casual Stroll to Mordor group on Middle-earth Network! It seems that chickens in Middle-earth are quite adventurous!

Oh my, they are so brave!!! The prospect of my chicken leaving further than Bree is already scaring enough…

Epic!

The link name alone is worth the clickthrough. Kudos.

Woot! Congrats!
A raid of chickens taking down Orthanc?

I guess this beats me getting my captain to Isengard. Congrats to our foul brethren! One small step for a bird, one giant squawk for chicken-kind.

Did any chickens make The Fellowship Walk?
October 28, 2011 at 2:00 pm
LOL no but now I kinda wish they did!

Next year, I will soooooooo take a chicken on the Fellowship Walk.

*head smack* why didn’t I think of that! XD

This fine show of Bird Power has raised my spirits a little! They’ve been low, as my parrot is rather sick lately. He’s not afraid trolls either!
Thanks to all those that shared this. *^_^*

What’s this? One does not simply cluck into Isengard!

*cracks up!

Some members of The Lost Army on Silverlode took a chicken to Orthranc on launch day. Was pretty funny.

How did you even get there…. I always die at exactly the same point on the High Moor.

Also on Eldar some chickens made it to Orthanc, unguarded they say!

This inspired me to finally get my chicken to Rivendell … and i did it today in 1 run.
Tried it many times before but always got caught by those Lynxes on the High Moors.
