Notes

  • As Hens are tameable animals, they can be damaged by players only with a Butcher knife.
    • Despite this, players can indirectly damage both Hens and Chickens by using an Obliterator's lightning strike AoE[1] or by placing pufferfish in contact with them.
  • Chicken meat is used for Honey glazed chicken, one of the most potent HP-boosting foods in the game as of the Mistlands update.
  • Hens have 3 different colors: white, brown, white and brown. The probability of each color to appear seems to be 33% each.
  • Hens are unique among tameable animals in that they do not directly reproduce a young version; they lay an Egg instead, which must be warmed near a heat source in order to hatch into a Chicken.
