Painted Chickadoo (Slime Rancher)s often spawn from nests with Painted Hens and to a lesser extent, Roostros. They are encountered exclusively in The Glass Desert.
Painted Chickadoos can be produced domestically in a coop by a Painted Hen if it is in the presence of a Roostro, and will itself grow up into a Painted Hen or - more rarely - a Roostro. Until it grows up, Slimes will not eat it.

About:
Painted chickadoos are baby chickens that will eventually grow into a painted 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 Painted chickadoos in a safe place and they'll eventually grow into a Painted Hen or a Roostro
Tips
