There’s nothing better than a farming simulator with a huge variety in terms of the number of animals you can raise. From cows, pigs, and rabbits, to even dinosaurs, there’s a fun twist on the type of animals you can raise in Stardew Valley. Rare animals include the blue chicken, a sky-colored resident of your chicken coop that is rare and difficult to obtain. But where does this strange bird come from and what role does it play on your farm?
Where to Find Blue Chickens in Stardew Valley
The Blue Chicken is available after the Eight Hearts event with villager Shane, where you see his own personal chicken coop filled with blue chickens and his favorite white chicken, Charlie. If you’re having trouble developing your friendship with Shane, give him a beer. He regularly spends the night at the Stardrop Saloon, where you can still buy beer. Take a few steps to your right after buying it and give it to him. You will quickly become friends.

Then blue chickens are unlocked and you have a 25% chance of getting one every time you buy a chicken from Marnie or hatch an egg in your incubator. Blue chickens can hatch from white and brown eggs.

What’s weird about blue chickens is that they don’t do anything different than standard chickens. They don’t lay blue eggs, only white eggs, which is strange because blue eggs are found in nature (they aren’t laid by hens, but still). It’s strange because empty chickens lay different types of eggs which can also be turned into empty mayonnaise. Also, like normal chickens, the value of their eggs will increase as you become friends with this animal. If you want the chickens to befriend you faster, consider changing your farming profession.
Although Blue Chickens does not provide you with unique products, they do provide some visual variety in your chicken coop. They are also easy to find in the grass if you let your chickens run free.
