Locating All Minecraft Chicken Variants

Chicken Variants in Minecraft.

Warm Chicken

Sporting sunny yellow and orange plumage, the Warm Chicken blends seamlessly into warmer biomes. Find them in: Badlands, Bamboo Jungle, Eroded Badlands, Jungle, Savanna, Savanna Plateau, Sparse Jungle, Windswept Savanna, and Wooded Badlands.

Cold Chicken

In contrast, the Cold Chicken boasts cool blue feathers and thrives in chilly climates. Search these biomes: Old Growth Pine Taiga, Old Growth Spruce Taiga, Snowy Taiga, Taiga, Windswept Forest, Windswept Gravelly Hills, and Windswept Hills.

Temperate Chicken

Veteran players will recognize the Temperate Chicken – the classic white chicken, now officially named. They inhabit all biomes not classified as warm or cold.

Taming Chickens in Minecraft

Collecting all chicken variants requires a bit of effort. Unlike taming wolves, chickens aren't tamed traditionally. Instead, carry seeds; chickens will follow you, allowing you to guide them into a pen. Repeat until you've gathered your desired flock.

Remember, depending on the chicken's origin, the journey back to your base could be lengthy. Establishing checkpoints along the way is recommended, especially in Survival mode where dangers lurk, particularly at night.

Breeding Chicken Variants in Minecraft

Once you've gathered all three variants, breeding is straightforward. Feed seeds to two chickens of the same type to produce an egg that hatches a chicken of that type. For a surprise, feed seeds to two different types—the resulting egg will hatch a random variant.
