How To Locate All Minecraft Chicken Variants

Warm Chicken
The Warm Chicken sports distinctive yellow and orange feathers, making it a vibrant addition to your farm. Its camouflage in warmer biomes can make it a challenge to find. Look for it in the following biomes:
- Badlands
- Bamboo Jungle
- Eroded Badlands
- Jungle
- Savanna
- Savanna Plateau
- Sparse Jungle
- Windswept Savanna
- Wooded Badlands
Cold Chicken
In contrast, the Cold Chicken features striking blue feathers and thrives in colder climates. To spot this unique variant, explore these biomes:
- Old Growth Pine Taiga
- Old Growth Spruce Taiga
- Snowy Taiga
- Taiga
- Windswept Forest
- Windswept Gravelly Hills
- Windswept Hills
Temperate Chicken
The classic Chicken, now renamed the Temperate Chicken, remains a staple in Minecraft. You'll find it in biomes that aren't classified as warm or cold, making it the most widespread variant.
How To Tame Chickens in Minecraft
Gathering all Chicken variants requires some taming finesse. Unlike dogs, Chickens can't be traditionally tamed. Instead, use seeds to lure them. Follow these steps to create your own Chicken haven:
- Carry seeds to attract Chickens.
- Guide them to a fenced area.
- Repeat until you've collected your desired number of Chickens.
Remember, transporting Chickens back to your base can be a trek, especially in Survival mode. Set up checkpoints to safely store your livestock during the journey, and be mindful of nighttime dangers.
How To Breed All Chicken Variants in Minecraft
Once you've assembled all three Chicken types, breeding them is straightforward. To produce a specific variant, feed seeds to two Chickens of the same type and wait for them to enter love mode and lay an egg. For a surprise, mix and match different variants; the resulting egg will hatch into a random Chicken type.
