Minecraft players eagerly await each Java Snapshot update, offering glimpses into the sandbox game's future. Snapshot 25w06a introduces two exciting new chicken variants, adding a delightful layer of variety to the familiar fowl. Let's explore where to find all three chicken types.

Locating All Minecraft Chicken Variants

Chicken Variants in Minecraft.

Warm Chickens

The Warm Chicken boasts yellow and orange plumage, a striking contrast to the classic white. Its coloration helps it blend into warmer biomes, making it a bit trickier to spot. Look for these feathered friends in the following locations:

  • Badlands
  • Bamboo Jungle
  • Eroded Badlands
  • Jungle
  • Savanna
  • Savanna Plateau
  • Sparse Jungle
  • Windswept Savanna
  • Wooded Badlands

Cold Chickens

As the name suggests, Cold Chickens sport blue feathers and thrive in colder biomes. Your search should focus on these areas:

  • Old Growth Pine Taiga
  • Old Growth Spruce Taiga
  • Snowy Taiga
  • Taiga
  • Windswept Forest
  • Windswept Gravelly Hills
  • Windswept Hills

Temperate Chickens

Veteran players will instantly recognize the Temperate Chicken—the classic white chicken, now officially designated as "Temperate." These familiar birds inhabit all biomes not classified as warm or cold.

Taming Chickens in Minecraft

Collecting all three chicken variants requires a bit of patience and some seeds. Unlike taming dogs, chickens don't have a traditional taming mechanic. Instead, carrying seeds will attract them, allowing you to guide them into a fenced area. Repeat this process until you've gathered your desired flock.

Remember, depending on your chicken hunting grounds, the journey back to your base could be lengthy. Consider establishing checkpoints along the way, especially in Survival mode, where dangers lurk, particularly after nightfall.

Breeding Chicken Variants in Minecraft

Once you've gathered all three types, expanding your flock is straightforward. Feed seeds to two chickens of the same type to breed and obtain an egg that hatches a chicken of the same type. For a surprise, feed seeds to two chickens of different types; the resulting egg will hatch a random variant.

That's how to find and breed all three Minecraft chicken variants! For more Minecraft adventures, learn how to obtain Armadillo Scutes.
