Hens are found in the wilderness. You do not need to [[Taming|tame]] one before you can lead one. After they eat 2 items they will lay 1 [[egg]] every 3 hours. [[Egg]]s can be used for [[cooking]] or eating. You could just let them reach 100 damage also so a [[chicken]] would hatch. Hens will follow [[rooster]]s. [[chicken]]s will also follow Hens.
