* Hens do ''not'' graze in Wurm.
** When eating from a pile, they seem to eat roughly 10 seeds per RL day.
** Hens will lay [[egg]]s when fed and kept on the following types of tile: [[Dirt tile|dirt]], [[Grass tile|grass]], [[Enchanted grass]], [[Mycelium]], [[moss]], [[steppe]], [[lawn]], [[bushes]] (normal and enchanted), and [[farming|crops]].
* To hatch eggs, lay a fertile egg on a tile and allow it to decay. When it reaches 100 damage, there is a small chance that a chicken will emerge.
* Hens will be hunted down by carnivorous animals or mobs.
