User blog comment:Milesprower2/Why Chickens aren't OP/@comment-24828059-20150221170250

While I agree that Chickens are not that bad, I'll hate them forever for being the reason why I lost at Level 71 in a previous BBB attemp.

However, they are not stronger than Dolphin Riders. Although you get Tall-nut some time after encountering them, there are still plants that are effective against them. Snow Pea and Repeater should do the trick. Tangle Kelp and Squash too. The only pain where they appear in a large number is SE, where they are admittedly real PITA. However, as they appear in only two lanes, they are still fairly easy to defeat and definitely not overpowered.

Try to beat a level over 70 in BBB where you have Chickens plus any other killer: Pianist, Prospector, Bull or Garg. No matter which one you choose, you will be (alomst) forced to use Power-ups at one point.

After getting the Wizard-done-right and the not-so-annoying-Imp, the dang Chickens-made-worse appeared. I haven't tried Icebound Battlefround yet, but I can't see this ending in a good way. Let me give it a try and I'll tell you.
