Minecraft players eagerly anticipate Java Snapshot updates, offering glimpses into future additions. Snapshot 25w06a introduces three chicken variants, sure to be highly sought after. This guide details their locations and breeding.

Locating Minecraft's Chicken Variants

Chicken Variants in Minecraft.

Warm Chickens: These chickens sport yellow and orange plumage, blending into warmer biomes. Find them in:

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

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
  • Windswept Hills

Temperate Chickens: The classic white chickens, now termed "Temperate Chickens," reside in all non-warm and non-cold biomes.

Taming and Breeding Chickens

Collecting these variants requires a bit of effort. Chickens aren't traditionally tamed, but carrying seeds attracts them, allowing you to guide them into enclosures. Remember the potential for long journeys, especially in Survival mode; establishing checkpoints is advisable.

Breeding is straightforward: feed two chickens of the same type seeds to get an egg of that type. For a surprise, feed seeds to two different types; the resulting egg will hatch a random variant.
