Minecraft's Avian Variety Revealed

Minecraft's latest Java Snapshot, 25w06a, introduces exciting new chicken variants! This guide details how to locate and breed these feathered friends.

Finding Minecraft's Chicken Variants

• Badlands
• Bamboo Jungle
• Eroded Badlands
• Jungle

• Windswept Hills

Temperate Chickens: These are the classic white chickens, now renamed "Temperate Chickens." They inhabit all biomes not listed above.

Taming and Breeding Chickens

Taming chickens involves feeding them seeds. This will cause them to follow you, allowing you to guide them to a pen. Remember, transporting chickens, especially over long distances in Survival mode, can be challenging. Establish checkpoints along the way.

Breeding is straightforward: feed two chickens of the same type seeds to get 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.
