How to Use Chicken Coops

Catch Chickens and Place Them Inside

Item Requirements
Capture Crate ・ Any Wood x8
・ Essence of Life x50

Before you can use a Chicken Coop, you’ll need to catch some chickens and bring them back to your base. To capture a chicken, you’ll need a Capture Crate, which can be crafted from the Farmer’s Workbench. Once crafted, equip the crate and interact with a chicken to store it inside. You can then transport the crate back to your base and release it near a coop.

Chickens can be found roaming grassy areas in Zone 1 biomes, such as the Autumn Forest and the Drifting Plains. While not extremely common, they are fairly easy to spot during exploration.

Wait For Your Chicken to Lay Eggs

Egg in the Coop.png

After being assigned to a coop, chickens will begin producing eggs once per day. Chickens return to the coop automatically at night, and eggs can be collected the next day.

When eggs are ready, a small sack will appear on the coop. Interact with it to collect your eggs

The Chicken Coop recipe is locked behind a Tier 5 Farmer’s Workbench. The coop recipe will not appear until this upgrade requirement is met.

Building Requirements
Coop ・ Any Wood x20
・Essence of Life x50
・Plant Fiber x10

Once unlocked, craft the Chicken Coop directly from the Farmer’s Workbench using the required materials. After crafting, place it near your base where you want your chickens to live.

Build Fence to Avoid Chickens Running Away

Coop

While chickens assigned to a coop will return on their own, it’s still a good idea to build fences around the coop area. This prevents unassigned chickens from wandering off.

How Many Chickens Can You Put In A Coop?

6 Chickens Per Coop

6 Chickens

Each Chicken Coop can house up to 6 chickens at a time. Once the coop reaches capacity, additional chickens will not be assigned but will still lay eggs outside the coop.

So if you want organized egg collection, your best option is to build more coops.
