Some tips:
Click and drag account names to change the order that they play
Reps is the number of games played per account until switching to the next account. 100 is a good default.
Sets is the number of cycles over all the account before quiting (0=infinite). 0 is a good default.
Enable "Inhibit screensaver" if you have a screen saver password and want to use Start At.
Start At lets you configure when you automatically start playing, default is UTC+5 minutes.
It is not currently possible to minimize Chicken while Chicken is playing. Chicken will restore the window as needed.

FAQ:
Is this a keylogger/virus?
Absolutely not. Feel free to run this in Sandboxie or on brand-new account. Run Wireshark/Fiddler2 to sniff the network traffic.
Chicken only ever connects to ClubBing, to the anagram servers (there are four), and to the DeCatServer for answers to Asirra.
Can it be detected/flagged?
I don't think so. Previous version of Chicken with Decaptcher (not Asirra) have gotten dozens of prizes.
Using packet sniffers, we've seen that the packet exchange between Club Bing and Chicken is the same whether using DeCat or manual entry.
Why do I need to connect to the DeCat server?
That's how you get help with Asirra. If you don't connect then you'll have to solve all 12 alone.
If you set your DeCatPassword to "beta" and fill in the DeCatEmail, you may be contacted about beta testing.
What is SuperFast?
It's the same Spelling Bee and Word Slugger but running much faster.
It's unknown if playing that fast gets you flagged so for now the default is normal speed.
