Stardew Valley Golden Chicken

In Stardew Valley one of the major farm animals players can get is chickens. These egg laying creatures come in a couple of different colors at the start (white and brown), but there is also a rare Golden Chicken players can acquire. To learn how to get the Stardew Valley Golden Chicken, see our guide below.

1. Build a Big or Deluxe Coop

Before you can start building your super mega Golden Chicken farm you need to ensure you have the ability to incubate Chicken Eggs. This means you need to have or build at least a Big or Deluxe Coop on your farm. To do this simply visit the Pelican Town carpenter, Robin, and choose Construct Farm Buildings. Once you’ve built a Coop you can upgrade it to Big Coop by providing her the required materials for either size building.

Big Coop Materials

• 10,000g.
• 400x Wood.
• 150x Stone.

Deluxe Coop Materials

• 20,000g.
• 500x Wood.
• 200x Stone.

Once you’ve bought the Big or Deluxe Coop from Robin it takes her two days to build it. With the Coop built you can use the included incubator to hatch chickens on your farm. This is a must for getting Golden Chickens on your farm.

2. Attain Perfection (100% The Game)

Building a Big or Deluxe Coop is just the first step in what is a fairly long process. Once you have a place to put your Golden Chicken, you then need to unlock Golden Chicken Eggs. To do this you are required to 100% the game. This means completing the following gameplay elements:
