A woven nest holding one large golden egg flanked by two smaller speckled brown eggs sits at the top-right of every screen next to the wordmark. Wooden farm signage (hand-painted plank signs on posts) is used for the paytable/rules booklet frame, the BUY FREE SPINS price sign, and the free-spins win banners.",

Two pairs of captured gameplay frames (free_spins_trigger.png/free_spins_won.png and free_spins_progressive.png/free_spins_win_total.png) turned out to be near-duplicate frames of the same two static banner screens (see 'capture_notes'); this documentation describes what is ACTUALLY visible in the pixels, not the capture-tool's original captions, per project anti-hallucination policy. UPDATE (follow-up capture pass): five additional frames were supplied and personally opened pixel-by-pixel by the reviewing agent (bonus_trigger_board.png, free_spins_play2.png, free_spins_play3.png, free_spins_play4.png, base_game_eggdrop.png). These close the previously open questions about the natural post-purchase BONUS-chest layout, the chicken's active MULTIPLIER plaque state, and the Progressive Feature firing in the base game outside Free Spins; see updated 'features.progressive_egg_drop_feature', the new entries under 'screens', and the revised 'unreadable_or_uncertain' list. The two files free_spins_won.png and free_spins_progressive.png were removed from the curated set by the team lead as near-duplicate banner frames (see capture_notes); their content is now folded into the single 'free_spins_trigger_and_win_banners' screen entry alongside free_spins_trigger.png and free_spins_win_total.png.",
