Minecraft players eagerly anticipate Java Snapshot updates, offering glimpses into the sandbox game's future. Snapshot 25w06a introduces three exciting chicken variants, sure to be highly sought after. Here's how to find them all.
Locating All Minecraft Chicken Variants
Warm Chicken
The Warm Chicken boasts yellow and orange feathers, a departure from the classic white. Its coloration makes it blend seamlessly into warmer biomes. Look for it in these locations:
- Badlands
- Bamboo Jungle
- Eroded Badlands
- Jungle
- Savanna
- Savanna Plateau
- Sparse Jungle
- Windswept Savanna
- Wooded Badlands
Cold Chicken
Sporting blue feathers, the Cold Chicken thrives in chilly biomes. Your search should focus on:
- Old Growth Pine Taiga
- Old Growth Spruce Taiga
- Snowy Taiga
- Taiga
- Windswept Forest
- Windswept Gravelly Hills
- Windswept Hills
Temperate Chicken
Veteran players will recognize the Temperate Chicken—formerly known as the classic chicken. These birds reside in all biomes not categorized as warm or cold.
Taming Chickens in Minecraft
Collecting all chicken variants requires a bit of effort. Unlike taming dogs, chickens don't have a traditional taming mechanic. Instead, carry seeds; chickens will follow you, allowing you to guide them into a fenced area. Repeat this process until you've gathered your desired number.
Remember, depending on the chicken's location, the journey back to your base could be lengthy. Establishing checkpoints along the way allows you to safely store your feathered friends while you continue collecting. Be mindful of time, especially in Survival mode, as dangers lurk, particularly at night.
Breeding Chicken Variants in Minecraft
Once you've gathered all three variants, expanding your flock is easy. Feed seeds to two chickens of the same type to get an egg that hatches the same type of chicken. For a surprise, feed seeds to two different types—the resulting egg will hatch a random variant.
That's how to find and breed all three Minecraft chicken variants! For more Minecraft adventures, learn how to obtain Armadillo Scutes.
Minecraft is available on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile devices.
