- Miranda Richardson as Mrs. Melisha Tweedy, a cantankerous egg farmer who decides to convert her farm into a chicken pie factory solely for monetary reasons.
- Tony Haygarth as Mr. Willard Tweedy, Melisha's henpecked husband.
- Benjamin Whitrow as Fowler, an elderly cockerel who regularly prattles about his Royal Air Force experiences.
- Timothy Spall as Nick, a portly rat who is the brains of their operation.
- Phil Daniels as Fetcher, Nick's slow-witted partner.
- Jane Horrocks as Babs, the fattest of the chickens with a dim-witted innocence and a love of knitting.
- Imelda Staunton as Bunty, the group cynic who is the most skeptical of Ginger's escape plans.
- Lynn Ferguson as Mac, Ginger's brainy Scottish assistant and chief engineer.
