Minecraft's 25w06a Snapshot introduces exciting new chicken variants, sparking interest among players. This guide details how to locate and breed all three types.

Locating Minecraft Chicken Variants

Chicken Variants in Minecraft.

Warm Chickens: These yellow and orange-feathered birds are found in warmer biomes: Badlands, Bamboo Jungle, Eroded Badlands, Jungle, Savanna, Savanna Plateau, Sparse Jungle, Windswept Savanna, and Wooded Badlands. Their coloration makes them somewhat difficult to spot against the terrain.

Cold Chickens: Sporting blue feathers, these chickens inhabit colder biomes: Old Growth Pine Taiga, Old Growth Spruce Taiga, Snowy Taiga, Taiga, Windswept Forest, Windswept Gravelly Hills, and Windswept Hills.

Temperate Chickens: Previously known as "classic" chickens, these are found in all biomes not categorized as warm or cold.

Taming Chickens in Minecraft

Taming chickens doesn't involve traditional methods. Instead, feed them seeds to attract them. Once they follow, guide them to a secure enclosure. Remember, long journeys to collect chickens, especially in Survival mode, present risks, so consider establishing checkpoints along the way.

Breeding Chicken Variants in Minecraft

To breed specific chicken types, feed seeds to two chickens of the same variant. They will enter "love mode," and an egg containing the same variant will be produced. Breeding two different variants results in a randomly selected offspring.
