Stardew Valley Chickens Guide: How to Raise White, Brown, Blue, Void, and Golden Chickens
Chickens are a cornerstone of farm life in Stardew Valley, offering players a reliable source of eggs for various uses. Whether you’re just starting out or aiming to expand your poultry empire, understanding the different types of chickens and their unique benefits can enhance your farming experience.
From the standard White and Brown Chickens to the rare Blue, Void, and Golden Chickens, each brings its own charm and value to your farm. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the various types of chickens available in Stardew Valley, how to acquire them, and the advantages they offer.
White and Brown Chickens
The primary types of chickens are White and Brown. Both can be purchased from Marnie or hatched from their respective colored eggs.
White Chickens lay white eggs, while Brown Chickens lay brown eggs. The color of the eggs is purely cosmetic, with no difference in their value or the Mayonnaise they produce. Both types of eggs sell for the same price and yield the same quality Mayonnaise in the Mayonnaise Machine.
Blue Chickens
If you’re looking for a more unique chicken, consider the Blue Chicken. To unlock this special chicken, you need to build a strong friendship with Shane and reach 8 hearts. Completing his heart event will grant access to Blue Chickens.
Blue Chickens are similar to White and Brown Chickens in terms of egg production but are visually distinct with their blue feathers. They lay white or brown eggs, which sell for the same price and can be used to make Mayonnaise. Their standout color makes them easier to spot on your farm.
Void Chickens
Void Chickens stand out from the standard breeds. To get a Void Chicken, first acquire a Void Egg by purchasing one from Krobus in the Sewers or waiting for the Witch to drop one during a random event. Incubate the Void Egg to hatch a Void Chicken.
Void Chickens lay Void Eggs, which can be sold or turned into Void Mayonnaise using the Mayonnaise Maker. Unlike regular Mayonnaise, Void Mayonnaise is required for a quest to help the Wizard recover his Magical Ink.
Golden Chicken
The Golden Chicken is the rarest and most challenging chicken to acquire. To get a Golden Chicken, you must achieve Perfection by completing all game tasks and reaching The Summit. Once you achieve this, you can obtain a Golden Egg using the following methods:
- Buy from Marnie: 100,000g (under Animal Supplies)
- Buy from Qi’s Walnut Room: 100 Qi Gems
- Golden Witch Visit: A Golden Witch may leave a Golden Egg in your coop.
- Fishing Treasure Chest: 0.12% chance to find.
Once you have a Golden Egg, incubate it to hatch a Golden Chicken. Golden Chickens lay Golden Eggs, which are more valuable and produce 3x Gold Quality Mayonnaise in the Mayonnaise Machine.
