There are many ways to gather ingredients in Tales of the Shire. If you get a chicken early on, you’ll receive a steady supply of eggs each day. These eggs can be used to prepare special meals, which you can serve to your guests during shared meals.
Getting chickens involves inviting specific characters to your home and building a relationship with them. They will gift you a chicken for free once you reach certain friendship levels. However, raising a chicken and obtaining the best-quality eggs requires additional steps, such as providing a consistent food supply for your chickens.
How to Get Chickens
Chickens become available after you build relationships with certain members of the Cotton family. The first chicken you can receive is by increasing your friendship with Farmer Cotton to level three. He will send you a letter, and when you visit him, he will deliver the chicken to your house.
You can earn two more chickens from Farmer Cotton at friendship levels six and ten. Additionally, you can get another chicken from Young Tom Cotton once your friendship with him reaches level ten. To find both of these characters, visit the town square in the morning, as they tend to their stalls at that time.
Farmer Cotton sometimes longs for Mrs. Cotton’s Amazing Autumn Tart and enjoys sour flavors, while Young Tom Cotton often wants a Saddle of Mutton stuffed with Cheese. Inviting both characters to share meals can help you increase your friendship levels faster.
How to Get Eggs
To collect eggs, you need to feed your chickens daily. By doing so, you’ll get an egg from them the next day. If you forget to feed them, they might get upset and refuse to lay eggs. Eggs are found in nests located on the garden side of your house.
The quality of the eggs depends on the quality of the food you give your chickens. Regular feeding will also improve the rating indicated by stars on the eggs. You can only feed them nuts, berries, or grains. Place the food in the trough near the nests for them to eat.
A common grain to feed chickens is barley, which can be purchased from Sandyman. Nuts and berries can often be found while foraging around the area.
