In addition to the unique creatures you can find in Stardew Valley, like dinosaurs and slimes, there are also classic farm animals, including cows, sheep, pigs, goats, and, of course, chickens. While most chickens typically come in standard white or brown colors, you have the opportunity to discover a rare blue chicken. To unlock this special breed, you’ll need to build a friendship with one of Pelican Town’s more challenging bachelors.
Blue chickens are a distinctive addition among farm animals in Stardew Valley, happily cohabiting with their brown and white counterparts. They don’t produce any extraordinary items, unlike void chickens, but they bring a whimsical touch to your farm with their unique coloring and vibrant tail feathers. It’s important to note that unlike other animals that can be acquired through building upgrades, the blue chicken can only be gained by nurturing a friendship.
How to Acquire a Blue Chicken (and the Heart Level Needed with Shane)
Friendship Is the Key to Unlocking This Special Chicken
The sole method to obtain the prized blue chickens is to befriend Shane, one of the less approachable characters in Pelican Town. You might initially find it challenging to connect with him since his early conversations often include dismissive remarks. However, Shane is surprisingly easy to befriend because he has several favorite gifts that are easily accessible for purchase.
Try not to spend time gathering, mining, or crafting special goods for Shane, as most of his favorite items can be found at the Stardrop Saloon.
The best strategy for winning Shane over is to give him his most beloved gifts, which include Hot Peppers, Pizza, Pepper Poppers, and Beer. Just a word of caution: you may want to avoid gifting him alcohol after learning more about his backstory. Building a good friendship with Shane is crucial for unlocking the blue chicken, so be sure to give him a gift on his birthday!
You can easily grow a plentiful supply of Hot Peppers during the summer and set some aside for him. This way, you won’t have to consistently spend your hard-earned money at the saloon. Since Shane’s birthday is in the spring, on the 20th, it might be easier to just pick up a pizza for him, especially since Hot Peppers won’t be ripe yet if you’re starting fresh.
Once you’ve established a solid rapport with Shane, you need to reach a friendship level of at least eight hearts to unlock the coveted blue chickens. Fortunately, you don’t need to marry him; you merely have to witness a pivotal heart event. In this cutscene, you’ll find Shane with his niece Jas in Marnie’s coop, where he tends to his blue chickens and his favorite, Charlie. Shane expresses his aspirations and shares his knowledge about caring for chickens with Jas. After this touching encounter, you’ll have the chance to purchase blue chickens.
What Happens If You Don’t Acquire a Blue Chicken From Marnie
There’s Only a 25% Chance for Blue with Each Chicken Purchase
Like other animals, blue chickens can be bought from Marnie in Stardew Valley. After witnessing Shane’s eight-heart event, you’ll find that each purchase of a chicken now carries a 25% chance of being blue. While there’s no guarantee of getting a blue chicken each time, it’s easy to keep trying for that chance.
You can cancel the chicken transaction and try purchasing again until you finally get a blue chicken. The color of the chicken will be revealed during the naming stage of the purchase, allowing you to back out and reattempt until you see "blue chicken" on the screen.
Unfortunately, the only method to obtain blue chickens is by purchasing them from Marnie. These blue chickens don’t lay special blue eggs, so you can’t use the incubator to breed more blue chickens. Any eggs from blue chickens will either be white or brown, resulting in the standard breeds typical of Stardew Valley. While achieving Shane’s heart event grants you access to blue chickens, it doesn’t unlock any special breeding secrets.
