A '''Hen''' is a farm [[animal]] that can be found in the wilderness. They can be lead with a [[rope]] without being [[Taming|tamed]]. Hens do ''not'' graze.  You must feed them by hand or by dropping a pile of seeds, grains, small vegetables or mixed grass near them.  When eating from a pile, they seem to eat roughly 10 seeds per RL day.  When fed and kept on the appropriate terrain (see Notes section below), they will lay [[egg]]s.
 
 
 
[[Egg]]s can be used for [[cooking]], eating, or hatching new [[chicken]]s.  To hatch eggs, lay one on a tile and allow it to decay.  When it reaches 100 damage, there is a small chance that a chicken will emerge.  ''Due to the low success rate of hatching (at least on Freedom), there is speculation that this function is perhaps bugged or is dependent on how dense the server animal population is.''
 
 
 
Hens will be hunted down by carnivorous animals or mobs.
