Description

A fine hen proudly prods around here.

A hen is a farm animal that can be found in the wilderness.
They can be white, black or brown in color.
They can be lead with a rope without being tamed. Hens do not graze.
You must feed them by hand or by dropping a pile of seeds, cereals, 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 (dirt, grass, crops tile), they will lay eggs.
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.
Dies at aged stage unless cared for.
You can have a few hens loaded into a chicken coop for easy access to eggs. They can be fertile or infertile and will decay while in the chicken coop.
