Bool Value not Changing in ReplicatedStorage

I want to fix my game so that a server script in ServerScriptService can change a value in ReplicatedStorage.

Right now, the problem is that when the round starts, the chicken’s living status doesn’t change. It is a boolean value stored in Replicated Storage.

It turns true when the round starts, and turns false when the chicken is touched, for some reason it is not doing this.

Server Script:

-- Variables --
local intermissionLength = 5
local warningLength = 5

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local inRound = repStorage.InRound
local lobbySpawn = workspace.Spawn
local gameSpawn = workspace.GameSpawn
local Status = repStorage.Status
local chicken = repStorage.Chicken
local chickenStatus = repStorage.Living

inRound.Changed:Connect(function()
	if inRound.Value == false then
		wait(1)
		for _, individualPlayer in ipairs (Players:GetPlayers()) do
			individualPlayer.Character.LowerTorso.CFrame = lobbySpawn.CFrame
		end
		wait(10)
	else
		for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
			local newChicken = chicken:Clone()
			newChicken.Parent = workspace
			player.Character.LowerTorso.CFrame = gameSpawn.CFrame
			chickenStatus = true
		end
	end
end)


local function gametext()
	while true do
		for i = intermissionLength, 1, -1 do
			inRound.Value = false
			wait(1)
			Status.Value = "Intermission "..i.." seconds left"   
		end
		Status.Value = "Intermission 0 seconds left"
		wait(.5)
		Status.Value = "Touch the CHICKEN to WIN!"
		wait(3)
		for i = warningLength, 1, -1 do
			wait(1)
			Status.Value = "Game Starting in "..i 
		end
		Status.Value = "Game Starting in 0"
		wait(.5)
		inRound.Value = true
		
		repeat
			task.wait()
			Status.Value = "Get the CHICKEN!"
		until chickenStatus == false 
		print("yessir")
		Status.Value = "The CHICKEN was found!"
		wait(.1)
	end
end

spawn(gametext)

Chicken Script:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local chickenStatus = repStorage.Living
local npc = script.Parent
local winner = repStorage.Winner
local db = true

npc.Chicken.MeshPart.Touched:Connect(function(part)
	if db == true then
		local h = part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		if (h~=nil) then
			player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(h.Parent)
			if (player~=nil) then
				local stats = player:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
				if (stats~=nil) then
					local Score = stats:FindFirstChild("Wins")
					if (Score~=nil) then
						db = false
						Score.Value += 1
						winner.Value = tostring(player)
						
						local userId = player.UserId
						local thumbType = Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot
						local thumbSize = Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size420x420
						local content, isReady = Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(userId, thumbType, thumbSize)
						workspace.WinnerSign.Sign.SurfaceGui.PlayerPicture.Image = content
						
						chickenStatus = false
						npc.Humanoid.Health = 0
						task.wait(1)
						npc:Destroy()
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
end)

Almost the correct solution, he in fact needs to replace each instance of chickenStatus with chickenStatus.Value in order to index its Value property.
