Overview
Explain your bug to a rubber chicken, and it will say nothing, which is exactly what you needed. Premium tier adds a gentle "have you tried a walk?" squeak.
Rubber Chicken Debugger is part of our Development Tools line, and it plays nicely with FeatherLint and YolkML, so you can adopt it one perch at a time. Write, compile, and debug with the precision of a rooster's peck.
Teams usually start with the free Chick plan, move to Hen when the flock grows past a handful, and graduate to Rooster once the security team wants audit logs. The upgrade is one click, and nobody needs to molt.
Key features
- Every error message is available in Standard English and Bawk.
- Telemetry is opt-in, and the only thing we collect is the sound of you clucking in frustration.
- Rubber Chicken Debugger autocompletes in peck-sized increments, so you accept exactly as much code as you can digest.
- Ships with 40 keybindings, 39 of which are some variation of pecking Enter.
- Scratch-and-sniff diagnostics point at the exact worm in your build.

What the flock says
Rubber Chicken Debugger paid for itself the first week. Then it paid for the second week, too. Strange.
A few rough edges, but every one of them came with a charming error message.
The docs are shockingly good. We tested them by handing them to an intern.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if I cancel?
You can export all of your data in open formats, and we keep a copy for 30 days in case you change your mind. We do not hold your eggs hostage.
Where is my data stored?
In the coop you pick at sign-up. Data never leaves that region unless you tell it to. Chickens like to know where they live.
Who do I call when something goes wrong?
Our 24/7 clucking support line at (06) 123CLUCK. Please do not call during the 3 p.m. egg break, because we do not pick up.
