How to Breed Chickens
Breeding chickens inSlime Rancherhappens naturally. Much likemobs and animals inMinecraft,Slime Rancher’s creatures will organically reproduce. However, the process can take a long time even if players sequester Hen Hens and Roostros. In order to streamline the breeding process, players should get a Coop. A default Coop is 250 dollars and has a cap of 12 chicks that can be laid. Players should keep in mind that each Coop only requires one Roostro. Having multiple will not make Hen Hens lay eggs any faster.
Coops give Roostros and Hen Hens a 100 percent chance of having chicks, which is very beneficial to players. Upgrades for Coops can also be purchased to increase laying time, max cap, or chicken health. These additions can cost anywhere from 350 dollars to 650. Depending on player uses for chickadoos, though, an upgrade might be worth it. Indeed, with increased access toSlime Rancherdueto Xbox Game Pass' library, now is a perfect time for players to jump in for free and start working toward theirSlime Ranchinggoals.
It is important for players to remember, though, that Roostros aren’t always easy to find, and they can sometimes spawn sparsely. Once one is found, players should do their best to keep them safe and secure. Hopefully, it will be even easier to breed chickensinSlime Rancher 2when it releases, but for now players will have to stick with the current system. Fortunately,Slime Rancherputs players first and already includes gameplay that achieves the goals of allowing players to shape their own experiences and explore the epic game world.
Slime Rancheris available now on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
