Slime Rancher Wiki

Hen Hen (Slime Rancher)s are the most common and most widely available Meat on the Far, Far Range, and are one of the first a Rancher ever encounters. They are often found accompanied by their Chickadoo counterparts, or even a Roostro.

About:
Hen Hens are a special breed of chicken bred to survive the climate of the Far, Far Range. While appearing more or less like a big chicken, these burly birds are much more adept at fending for themselves, making them ideal for ranchers who might otherwise be distracted by a few hundred hungry slimes.

On the Ranch:

Hen hens in close proximity to roostros will periodically lay eggs that produce chickadoos. However, keeping too many hens or roostros in close proximity makes them anxious and egg production will come to halt. Savvy ranchers with an understanding of the complex nature of chicken romance always keep their coops from exceeding 12 grown chickens.

About:
Chickadoos are baby chickens that will eventually grow into a hen hen or more rarely, a roostro.

Chickadoos of all varieties will never be eaten by slimes. Some believe this is because slimes are too kind-hearted to do such a thing. Others believe it's because chickadoos don't yet have enough meat on their bones.

On the Ranch:
Keep chickadoos in a safe place and they'll eventually grow into a Hen Hen or Roostro.

Tips

  • Chickadoos cannot be used as food for slimes or for getting Plorts from a Gold Slime; they need to grow up first!
  • A Chickadoo is also required for the achievement "You... Monster!" in which you must throw a Chickadoo into an Incinerator.
  • Hens will turn into Elder Hens after some time has passed. Keep an eye on them when breeding them in a coop!
