Upon purchase or hatching, chickens can be named.

Blue Chickens

A blue chick

After seeing Shane's 8-heart event, each chicken you purchase from Marnie or hatch from a brown or white egg has a 1/4 chance of being blue. Aside from appearance, blue chickens are identical to regular white and brown chickens.

Blue chickens are born as blue chicks. If you are trying for a blue chicken and don't get one, you can exit and restart that day. The color of the chick is assigned when it hatches.

Selling

It is possible to sell Chickens. The amount of gold obtained for doing so is dependent on how many hearts the animal has. The more hearts; the higher amount of gold fetched for selling it. The amount of gold obtained for selling a maximum-heart Chicken is data-sort-value="1040">Gold.png1,040g.
