Temperate Chickens: The familiar classic chicken, now called "Temperate," appears in all biomes not listed above.
Taming Your Feathered Friends
Unlike taming dogs, chickens require a different approach. Carry seeds; chickens will follow you, allowing you to guide them into an enclosure. Repeat until you've gathered your desired flock. Remember long journeys back to your base, especially in Survival mode, might require establishing temporary holding pens.
Breeding Your Chicken Collection
To breed specific chicken variants, feed seeds to two of the same type. They'll enter "love mode," producing an egg of the same variant. For a surprise, feed seeds to two different types; the resulting egg will hatch a random variant.
This completes your guide to finding and breeding Minecraft's new chicken variants. Happy farming!
