Temperate Chickens: Previously known as classic chickens, these are found in all biomes not categorized as warm or cold.
Taming and Breeding Chickens
Collecting all variants requires a bit of effort. While chickens aren't traditionally tamed, they'll follow you if you carry seeds. Use this to guide them into a pen. Remember that transporting chickens, especially in Survival mode, can be perilous, so establish checkpoints along the way.
Breeding is straightforward: feed two chickens of the same type seeds to get an egg of that type. For a surprise, feed two different types; the resulting egg will hatch a random variant.
