Backstory
The Tax-Collecting Rooster is the only defence in the farm’s arsenal that wears a top hat, carries a briefcase, and has never once smiled. It taxes the flock. Every rooster on the field boosts egg drops by 5%, and the boosts stack — two roosters, 10%. Five roosters, 25%. The flock has learned that the rooster is the most expensive chicken they have ever met, and they are the ones paying.
It deals no direct damage, because it does not need to. The rooster’s weapon is the economy: every egg the flock drops is worth more, every wave pays better, and the farm’s bank account grows like the rooster’s patience — slowly, steadily, and with absolutely no exceptions. The farm has a phrase for the rooster: the flock’s favourite tax season, every wave.
It costs 100 eggs, and the first five ramp — 100/200/300/400/500, then a flat 750. Pair it with an Egg Reserve and Audited Interest kicks in: the reserve’s interest rate rises 50%. Next to an Egg Farm, Tax Harvest adds +25% production. Gilded Beaks, Eggonomics and Bank Interest all make it stronger. Its weakness is honest: no direct damage. But the rooster has never once cared. The rooster is very good at what it does.
What it’s good at
+5% egg drops per rooster, stacking — the flock pays its taxes.

5 hits before it falls apart. 5 smash hits and the rooster finally audits itself.
🍗 Who smashes it
Demolition Drumsticks take 50–75% of a structure’s max HP per swing, and Heavy Metal Chickens and Bureaucrat Elites knock things down too.
☢️ Friendly fire
Your own Nuke and explosive chain reactions don’t care whose side it’s on — keep fragile towers out of the blast radius.
