Basic chicken farm

That farm of mine doesn’t exist anymore since long. For the records, the screenshots I saved don’t show as many as 30 chicken.

so ive read all the chicken farming posts and even watched an egg farming video but i cant find out how you actually get the chicken in there to begin with

can someone please lay out the beginner basics…

do you wait for them to spawn in a tiny pen? surely not that would take forever…

do you push them in or lure them in?

please help im newb

let me start by pointing out that this is a REALLY old thread and most of the stuff they’re talking about is less relevant (though it was a fun read anyway).

Back then yes, you would have waited until a chicken spawned. Now you could do that but would generally ask someone for a fertilized egg. They will either be selling them in a market stall or you can ask in global if anyone has one for sale. I have not bought one in ages but figure it will probably be 1-2 g or so to buy an egg. When making the sale LENS THE EGG to make sure it says fertilized, if it does not say fertilized then they ripped you off. You’ll also know whether its fertilized by whether it stacks in your inventory or takes up a slot by itself.

To hatch the egg lay it on grass, and you probably want it in an enclosure and AT ALL TIMES you’ll want to wield a bucket, hoe, shovel, repair kit, or other thing that wont let you attack it (trust me on this, we’ve all killed them before). If you click the chicken and then click info it will tell you its hunger rate. If it is between 10-30% hungry it will say molting, this means it will drop feathers. If it is between 70-90% fed it will say breed, this means it has a chance to drop more fertilized eggs. They eat worms, and will only eat off of grass, or lay eggs or drop feathers on grass.
