Where to Find All Chicken Variants in Minecraft's Latest Update

Minecraft enthusiasts are always excited about Java Snapshot updates, which provide glimpses into upcoming features. The newest 25w06a Snapshot introduces two highly anticipated chicken variants, bringing the total to three distinct types.

Warm Chicken

The Warm Chicken stands out with its vibrant yellow and orange plumage, contrasting with the standard white chicken. Its coloration helps it blend into warmer environments, making it more challenging to spot. You'll find this variant exclusively in these biomes:

• Badlands
• Bamboo Jungle
• Eroded Badlands
• Jungle
• Savanna
• Savanna Plateau
• Sparse Jungle
• Windswept Savanna
• Wooded Badlands

Cold Chicken

With striking blue feathers, the Cold Chicken inhabits frosty regions. Search for this unique variant in these chilly biomes:

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

Temperate Chicken

The familiar original chicken has been renamed as the Temperate Chicken in this update. These standard white chickens appear in all biomes not classified as warm or cold regions.

How to Manage Chickens in Your Minecraft World

While chickens can't be conventionally tamed like wolves, you can effectively gather them by using seeds. Simply carry seeds to attract chickens, then lead them to a secure enclosure. Be prepared for potentially long journeys when transporting chickens from distant biomes to your base.

Breeding Chicken Variants

Breeding chickens follows straightforward mechanics. To produce more of a specific variant, feed seeds to two chickens of the same type. For random offspring, mate different chicken variants together. The resulting egg will hatch into either parent's type.

Minecraft continues to expand its immersive wildlife experiences with these new chicken variations. For players seeking these avian additions, strategic exploration and breeding will be key to building diverse flocks.

Minecraft is currently available across all major gaming platforms including PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC, and mobile devices.
