I like the idea of an egg launcher, but I think it ſhould be a ſatellite (Slingſhot? Trampoline?) that eggs would bounce off of, returning to go towards the chickens, then falling back down. The eggs in this caſe would have to be pretty lethal to make the ſatellite worth having. Also, the ſatellite ſhould wear out after a certain number of bounces.
