🐔 Chicken

Chickens are the most basic and affordable farm animals that can be purchased from Marnie’s Ranch for 800g. They produce Eggs daily when properly cared for, making them perfect for beginning farmers. Chickens require a Coop to house them and take 3 days to mature from chicks to adults.

When happy and well-fed, chickens provide daily eggs that can be processed into mayonnaise or used in cooking recipes. They are the foundation of most successful farms and an excellent introduction to animal husbandry.
