Chickens are defensive animals.

Types

A group of chicks following a mother hen out of a player-made chicken coop.

• Regular chicken
• Prehistoric chicken
• Undead chickens

Habitat

Players can create chicken coops to store chickens in, so they are more likely to gather eggs without being pecked.

Prehistoric chickens inhabit tropical jungle caves under the Devasted Lands.

Undead chickens are found in caves.

Behavior

Baby chicks will follow their mother around. Adult chickens will guard their eggs, pecking unfamiliar players who try to steal their eggs.

Usage

Chickens can be interacted with by the player to collect eggs.
