The '''Chicken''' is a farm [[Animals|animal]] that lives in a [[Coop]]. Chickens can be purchased at [[Marnie's Ranch]] for {{Price|800}} or hatched by placing an [[Egg]] into an [[Incubator]], taking {{duration|9,000m (5d 16h 40m)|class=inline}} to incubate, or {{duration|4,500m (2d 21h 40m)|class=inline}} with the [[Farming#Farming Skill|Coopmaster Profession]].

==Color==
Chickens are colored White, Brown, or Blue. The Blue variety can be obtained only after seeing [[Shane]]'s 8-heart event. The color of the chicken is assigned randomly by the game when a chicken is purchased or hatched, so restarting a day after hatching a chicken may produce a different color.

The color of a chicken is shown during purchase from Marnie's Ranch, while selecting a coop. A message is shown stating "Choose a Coop for your new White/Brown/Blue Chicken". Cancelling the purchase returns the player to the purchase window, where they can try again for the desired color.

An [[Incubator]] will hatch a brown chicken from a [[Egg|Brown Egg]] and a white chicken from a regular Egg (or the corresponding Large variants). This means blue chickens cannot be obtained using an Incubator.<ref>See <samp>Data/FarmAnimals.xnb</samp> in the game files, specifically <samp>EggItemIds</samp>, which are the valid egg items for each animal type.</ref>
    
White and blue chickens produce white eggs, and brown chickens produce brown eggs, so it makes a difference in completing the [[Community Center]] [[Bundles]], especially if [[Options#Advanced Options|Remixed Bundles]] is not chosen at start of game.

Chickens who eat every day mature after 3 nights have passed. A mature and fed chicken produces a white or brown [[Egg]] every day, which can be placed in an [[Incubator]] to hatch another chicken, or sold for {{Price|50}}. Once sufficient [[Animals#Friendship|friendship]] and happiness is reached, it has a chance to produce a [[Large Egg]] or [[Large Egg|Large Brown Egg]] which sells for {{Price|95}}.

[[File:BlueChick.png|75px|thumb|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 25% chance of being blue. Aside from appearance, blue chickens are identical to regular white and brown chickens. One subtle benefit to this alternative color is that blue chickens are much easier to spot in a field of grass.
