Minecraft's latest Java Snapshot, 25w06a, introduces exciting new chicken variants! This guide details how to locate and breed all three types.

Finding Minecraft's Chicken Variants

Warm Chickens: These yellow and orange feathered birds thrive in warmer biomes. Look for them in:

• Badlands
• Bamboo Jungle
• Eroded Badlands
• Jungle
• Savanna
• Savanna Plateau
• Sparse Jungle
• Windswept Savanna
• Wooded Badlands

Cold Chickens: Sporting blue feathers, these chickens inhabit colder climates:

• Old Growth Pine Taiga
• Old Growth Spruce Taiga
• Snowy Taiga
• Taiga
• Windswept Forest
• Windswept Gravelly Hills
• Windswept Hills

Temperate Chickens: The classic white chickens, now called Temperate Chickens, reside in all biomes not listed above.

Taming and Breeding Chickens

To gather your chicken collection, remember that chickens aren't tamed traditionally. Instead, carry seeds to lure them and guide them into a secure enclosure. Be mindful of long journeys, especially in Survival mode, and consider establishing checkpoints along the way.

Breeding is straightforward. Feed two chickens of the same type seeds to get an egg that hatches the same type. For a surprise, feed seeds to two different types – the resulting egg will hatch a random variant.
