I second what Firekirby is saying. Hen-hens just take way too long to reproduce to make them a viable food source. The only time I breed chickens nowadays is to fill up a Silo. (To elaborate, I have 3 fully upgraded and fully stocked Silos full of food. Partly for the sake of being a collector but mostly for the convenience of being able to grow/reproduce Hen-Hens whatever I want without having to go back to a specific area).

From time to time I nab regular Hen-hens from The Overgrowth and feed them to meat-eaters to get rid of them but that's about all I do with them.
