'''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 - or if they do, it's not enough to keep them healthy.  You must feed them by hand or by dropping a pile of seed near them.  When eating from a pile, they seem to eat roughly 10 seeds per RL day.  After they eat 2 [[seed]]s they will lay 1 [[egg]] every 3 hours.

[[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 follow [[rooster]]s. [[Chicken]]s will follow hens.  It can be quite difficult to separate the animals when this happens, so be careful about leading too close.
