A Fortune-Telling Chicken Automaton (and Other Chicken Crafts)

Maker Faire Bay Area 2025

September 26th-28th

Young Makers

Our scrappy fortune-telling chicken is a student-designed project inspired by historic automata like Jacques de Vaucanson's Digesting Duck. Our fully mechanical chicken lays 3D-printed eggs—each holding a unique fortune for you! You can also drive a robot chicken built by our FIRST Robotics team and participate in other chicken-themed crafts.
