What to know
- Chickens spawn in the main neutral area (often called “zone one”), especially in grassy plains near forest edges.
- They can be hard to spot in dense forests, so open grasslands are the best hunting ground.
- To capture one, you need a capture crate made at the farmer’s workbench using essence of life and any wood.
- Once caught, you can place the crate with a chicken coop at your base to start a chicken farm.
In Hytale, chickens are an early-game resource for eggs, meat, and feathers. They spawn in the neutral grassy zone near plains and forest edges and can be captured with a Farmer’s Workbench Capture Crate. This guide shows where to find them, how to catch them, and start your own chicken farm.
Chickens locations in Hytale: Where to find it
Chickens spawn in the main neutral zone, the grassy, open area around spawn, often called Zone One. They are easiest to spot in the plains and along the forest edges, where open fields make them visible. Deep in dense forests, chickens are harder to find. In Creative Mode, flying around this grassy region makes locating them much faster, though they still remain relatively rare.

How to get a Chicken in Hytale
To catch a chicken in Hytale, you’ll need a Capture Crate. Here’s a step-by-step guide to safely trap and collect your feathered friend:
Step 1: Find a chicken
Explore the neutral grassy areas, especially the plains and forest edges, walking or flying around until you spot a chicken.
Step 3: Approach and capture the chicken
Move slowly so the chicken isn’t startled, then select the Capture Crate in your hotbar and use it to safely trap the chicken.
Step 3: Collect and transport
The chicken will be safely captured in the crate, ready to carry back to your base.
