What you’ll build
Build a cosy coop with a fenced yard and a gate. Then you'll spawn some chickens nearby, hold seeds so they follow you, and lead them home. Close the gate, go build something else, and come back later to collect your eggs.
Finish line: At least two chickens followed your seeds into the coop, and you found an egg.
Bonus challenge: Feed two chickens seeds so they have a baby chick.
You’ll need
- Chicken spawn eggs
- Seeds
- Fences
- Fence gate
You choose
- Coop style and colours
- How many chickens
- Names for your chickens
Stuck?
- Chickens not following? Keep the seeds in your hand and stay within a few blocks of them.
- No eggs yet? They take 5–10 minutes, so build something nearby while you wait.
- Chickens escaping? Check the gate is shut and there are no gaps in the fence.
