MAKEADRONE is a norwegian-based company founded by henning pedersen that sells easy-to-build drone kits for kids, teachers, and adults. to celebrate easter, pedersen decided to give a hen a flight suit that would not only look like something from an animation video but that would actually work. the flightless bird is supported by a duocopter harness that has two powerful racing drone motors, a KK2 mini flight controller, a body of carbon fibre rods, and CNC cut plastic.

as for the easter celebration, the creator comments, ‘while in the air, why not drop some eggs at the same time?’

the chicken is controlled through a remote — taking off

the eggs are dropped with a plastic parachute to avoid accidents
