Sorry for the annoyances, fellas.
The chicken game does mention "remember to drop them into the pot!" but I could be clearer about the mechanics, so I'll fix that up for the next patch.
As for the maze, they usually teleport when you've hit a dead end. They'll also teleport at certain points since the event path finding in RPGMMV is ASS and that was my workaround to keep them on your tail.
