Stony Hens are a chicken variant found by nests accompanied by their chickadoo counterparts and occasionally a Roostro, but can also be found in crates.
When in the presence of a Roostro, Stony Hens will lay eggs which immediately hatch into Stony Chickadoos, which will grow up into either a Stony Hen or a Roostro. This process is more efficient in a coop, especially when upgraded. When laying an egg, it has a chance to become an Elder Hen.

About:
Stony hens are thought to have evolved from hen hens who once trekked deep into the mountains of the Far, Far Range. Perhaps these birds were seeking a clarity of mind that one can truly obtain through meditation amongst these lofty, barren crags. But most likely, they were just stupid and got lost.
On the Ranch:
Stony hens in close proximity to roostros will periodically lay eggs that produce stony chickadoos. However, keeping too many hens or roostros in close proximity makes them anxious and egg production will come to a halt. Savvy ranchers with an understanding of the complex nature of chicken romance always keep their coops from exceeding 12 grown chickens.

Origin[]
Stony Hens bear a visual similarity to Sussex chickens. The stones present around their nests and on their plumage may be based on poultry grit.
