The Chicken is an animal that comes in three colors - White, Brown, and Blue - but the color difference does not affect other characteristics of the animal. Blue chickens can be obtained only after seeing Shane's 8-heart event. Chickens can be purchased from Marnie's Ranch for 800g or hatched from an Egg in an Incubator. The egg will only hatch if there is room left in the coop. Upon purchase or hatching, chickens must be named, and the game provides a default if you don't want to choose it yourself.
Care
Hatchlings or just-purchased chickens do not need to be fed on the day they arrive on the farm, although they respond as normal to petting. Afterwards, babies and adults require the same care and amounts of food. Baby chicks that are given food reach maturity on the third day after hatching or purchase. Beginning the fourth day, adult chickens that were fed the day before produce an egg apiece every morning.
Chickens eat hay, which can be purchased from Marnie or harvested from grass. If there is grass in the yard outside the coop and you open the coop door to let them outside, they will eat the grass rather than hay, and receive a mood boost as well. This option is not available in winter (when there is no grass), and during that season they will not venture outside even if the doors remain open.
Produce
The Chicken can produce an Egg or Brown Egg every morning. Once sufficient friendship and happiness is reached, a chicken can produce a Large Egg or Large Brown Egg which sells for 95g.
Eggs can also be placed in the Mayonnaise Machine to produce Mayonnaise, which sells for 190g or 285g depending on quality.

Blue Chickens
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 1,040g.
