How To Tame Chickens in Minecraft
To collect all Chicken variants, you'll need to master the art of taming. Unlike dogs, Chickens can't be traditionally tamed, but you can entice them with seeds, causing them to follow you. Here's how to corral them:
- Lure with Seeds: Carry seeds to attract Chickens.
- Fence Them In: Guide the Chickens into a fenced area.
- Repeat: Continue this process until you have the desired number of Chickens.
Be mindful of the journey back to your base, especially in Survival mode. Set up checkpoints to leave your livestock safely while you collect more, and return promptly to avoid nighttime threats.
How To Breed All Chicken Variants in Minecraft
Once you've gathered all three Chicken types, breeding them to increase your flock is straightforward:
- Same Type Breeding: Feed seeds to two Chickens of the same type. They'll enter love mode and produce an egg that hatches into the same variant.
- Surprise Breeding: Feed seeds to two different Chicken variants. The resulting egg will hatch into a random type of Chicken.
