Chickens in Stardew Valley: Your Guide to Collecting Them
Chickens are beloved farm animals and a staple in any Stardew Valley adventure. In the game, you can find a variety of chickens that differ in color, providing a delightful twist on the standard white, brown, and black birds seen in real life. The colorful chickens in Stardew Valley are not just for show; acquiring all of them requires a mix of luck and completing various challenges, including building friendships and tackling advanced achievements.
Getting Started: Building Your Coop
To start your chicken collection, the first step is to set up a coop. Head over to Robin’s shop to request the construction of a coop on your farm. This initial setup will cost you 4,000 gold, along with 300 wood and 100 stone. Investing in a coop early on is wise because you can produce mayonnaise, which serves as a steady income source. To access certain rare chicken types, you’ll need to upgrade to a "Big Coop," which allows you to use an incubator for hatching eggs.
Unlocking White and Brown Chickens
White and brown chickens are the easiest to unlock in Stardew Valley. Once Robin builds your coop, simply visit Marnie’s ranch to buy your first chicken. You’ll only find white and brown varieties at the beginning, and their color is random. When you bring a chick home, be sure to feed and pet it daily to keep it content.
If you have a preference for one color, you can cancel the purchase when prompted to pick a name, allowing you to try again. Each of these classic chickens costs 800 gold. If you own a Big Coop, you can also hatch more chickens using the incubator, although you can’t choose their color through this method.
Unlocking Blue Chickens
Blue chickens are a special breed that you can obtain through building a relationship with Shane. To unlock this vibrant chicken, you need to earn eight hearts with Shane, which will trigger a unique cutscene. Visit Marnie’s Ranch when Shane is there after he tells you about seeking counseling, and Jas will lead you to his coop, where you’ll find his unique blue chickens alongside his white chicken, Charlie.
From that point on, you can buy blue chickens from Marnie, just like the others, with a 25% chance of getting one from each purchase or egg in the incubator. As before, feel free to cancel the transaction until you get your desired color.
Unlocking Void Chickens
Void chickens, unlike other poultry, can only be acquired by chance. These mysterious birds boast all-black feathers and striking red eyes. Despite their eerie appearance, they behave just like regular chickens. Every night, there’s a 1% chance that the witch will visit your farm, potentially leaving a void egg in your coop. Hatch it in the incubator to welcome a void chicken into your collection.
Void chickens are quite profitable as they produce void mayo, selling for 275 gold compared to 190 gold for regular mayo. This can be a great income source in the early game, and both Krobus and Sebastian have a fondness for void eggs.
Unlocking Golden Chickens
The most elusive chicken in the game is undoubtedly the golden chicken. With its dazzling feathers, this chicken not only stands out but also lays highly valuable golden eggs, each selling for 500 gold at base quality and up to 1,000 gold for iridium quality. When processed in a mayonnaise machine, one golden egg can yield three gold-quality mayonnaise jars, each selling for 258 gold.
To unlock golden chickens, you must achieve “Perfection” in Stardew Valley, a challenging feat that requires completing various tasks like slaying every type of monster, shipping all goods, cooking every recipe, maxing out all skills, and reaching maximum friendship levels with all villagers. Once you’ve hit this milestone, golden chickens can be purchased at Marnie’s Ranch for 100,000 gold or from Mr. Qi for 100 Qi gems, although finding them randomly is also possible, though less reliable.
Conclusion
In summary, Stardew Valley offers players a fun and engaging chicken-collecting experience. By following these steps, you can build up your coop and enjoy the unique benefits that each chicken brings to your farm. Happy farming!
