Guide to Finding All Three Minecraft Chicken Variants

Minecraft fans eagerly track Java Snapshot updates for hints about new features in the sandbox game. The latest, 25w06a, introduces two new animal types that players will want to seek out. Here’s where to locate all three Chicken variants in Minecraft.

Where to Find Every Minecraft Chicken Variant

Warm Chicken

The Warm Chicken, a new variant with vibrant yellow and orange feathers, blends into the earthy tones of warmer biomes, making it tricky to spot. Fortunately, you can find this bird 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 sports blue feathers and thrives in chilly biomes. Search for this frosty bird in these locations:

• Old Growth Pine Taiga
• Old Growth Spruce Taiga
• Snowy Taiga
• Taiga
• Windswept Forest
• Windswept Gravelly Hills
• Windswept Hills

Temperate Chicken

The classic Chicken, now called the Temperate Chicken, is a familiar sight for longtime Minecraft players. You’ll find it in biomes that aren’t classified as warm or cold.

How to Tame Chickens in Minecraft

Want to gather all Chicken variants in Minecraft? You’ll need to master taming. Unlike dogs, Chickens can’t be tamed in the traditional sense, but carrying seeds will make them follow you. Use this trick to lead them to a fenced area. Repeat until you’ve collected as many as you need.

Keep in mind that depending on the Chicken’s biome, the trip back to your base could be long. Set up checkpoints to safely store your livestock while you gather more. In Survival mode, don’t linger too long—nighttime brings plenty of dangers.

How to Breed All Chicken Variants in Minecraft

Once you’ve gathered all three Chicken variants, you might want to expand your flock. To breed a specific type, feed seeds to two Chickens of the same variant, wait for them to enter love mode, and collect the egg they produce. For a surprise, breed two different variants—the resulting egg will hatch a random Chicken type.
