Rubber chicken



Rubber chickens were a holiday item available on the 21 March 2005 for only two weeks. During this time, Jagex placed an Easter bunny in Falador as a non-player character. Players could talk to the bunny and ask for a task.

When asked, he would give players a basket containing some chocolate eggs, usually around three. Players could eat the eggs, making them do a chicken dance. Players had to give the eggs to other players in under two minutes to win an item.

Players had to equip the basket (considered a hammer weapon) to give the eggs. When the basket was equipped, if a player moved around, they would skip. Wielding the basket also allowed the player to right-click other players and select a 'Give egg' option, which would give the other player an egg. When all the eggs in the basket were all gone, the player could go back to the Easter bunny for their reward - a rubber chicken.

After two weeks, the Easter bunny was removed and the eggs were replaced with chocolate dust.





The rubber chicken can be equipped as a fun item rather than a real weapon as it has negative bonuses. When equipped, players can "whack" other players with it. Sometimes the Rubber Chicken could slip out from your hands before whacking another player.

Some time ago, Jagex moderators could not be whacked with chickens, and if you attempted to, you would get a warning message. This feature was later removed, and now mods are fully whackable, though some say they do not hear the whack; this has not been confirmed.



When unequipped, players could right-click on it and select a dance option, making them do a chicken dance, along with an interesting song. The song can only be accesed via the dance, but the dance itself can be accesed also at the Runecrafting "Abyss". Sometimes when you distract the eye obstacle you will do the chicken dance (without the music). When equipped, you can right-click on it and click on operate.

Sometimes players with Rubber Chickens taunt noobs by whacking them in a game some called Whack a Noob. This is considered offensive by some players, and not does not make the whacker look very good either.
