*Minecraft* enthusiasts eagerly await Java Snapshot updates to get a sneak peek at upcoming features in this beloved sandbox game. The latest Snapshot, 25w06a, introduces two exciting new animal variants, expanding the collection of Chickens in *Minecraft*. Here’s a comprehensive guide on where to find all three Chicken variants in *Minecraft*.
How To Locate All Minecraft Chicken Variants
Warm Chicken
The Warm Chicken, sporting vibrant yellow and orange feathers, can be a bit tricky to spot due to its camouflage with the warmer biome terrains. You can find this unique variant in the following biomes:
- Badlands
- Bamboo Jungle
- Eroded Badlands
- Jungle
- Savanna
- Savanna Plateau
- Sparse Jungle
- Windswept Savanna
- Wooded Badlands
Cold Chicken
In stark contrast, the Cold Chicken boasts blue feathers and is exclusive to colder biomes. Search for this chilly variant in these locations:
- Old Growth Pine Taiga
- Old Growth Spruce Taiga
- Snowy Taiga
- Taiga
- Windswept Forest
- Windswept Gravelly Hills
- Windswept Hills
Temperate Chicken
The Temperate Chicken, formerly known as the Classic Chicken, remains a staple for veteran players. These familiar birds can be found in all biomes that aren't classified as warm or cold, making them the most widespread variant.
How To Tame Chickens in Minecraft
To gather all the Chicken variants in *Minecraft*, you'll need to employ some taming techniques. Unlike dogs, Chickens can't be traditionally tamed, but you can entice them with seeds. Simply hold seeds in your hand, and Chickens will follow you, allowing you to guide them into a fenced area. Repeat this process to amass your desired number of Chickens.
Be mindful that transporting Chickens from distant biomes back to your base can be challenging. Consider setting up intermediate checkpoints to safely house your livestock while you continue your search. In Survival mode, time is of the essence; don't linger too long as nighttime brings various threats.
How To Breed All Chicken Variants in Minecraft
Once you've collected all three Chicken variants, breeding them to increase your flock is straightforward. To breed specific types, feed seeds to two Chickens of the same variant and wait for them to enter love mode, eventually dropping an egg. For a surprise, mix it up by feeding seeds to two different variants; the resulting egg will hatch into a random Chicken variant.
