Chicken Apocalypse

# 🐔 Chicken Apocalypse

> *"You took their eggs. You baked their flesh. Now... the flock demands blood."*

**Chicken Apocalypse** transforms Minecraft's most docile farm animal into a ruthless, escalating nightmare. Slaying chickens feeds a vengeful collective hivemind, mutating nearby birds into massive, bloodthirsty swarms and eventually awakening the ancient titan: **THE ROOSTER — Harbinger of the Flock.**
