Briar Hen
Briar hens are a chicken variant born from the wild thickets of the Far, Far Range. They were first discovered long ago by an explorer who noted that they seemed to have a complex tribal structure, and a fascinating series of chicken customs. He even may have joined the briar tribe as an honorary chicken himself! His records end there however, and we know nothing else about him or his findings. Oh, but his name was Carl. We know that.
Where to find
Tips
- Briar Hens are the favorite of Boom Slimes, making them especially useful for maximizing plort output.
- They function just like other hen breeds, so balance their numbers in coops to keep them from halting production.
- You can sometimes find Briar Hens by breaking open crates, making them easier to stock early on.

Why foods matter
In Slime Rancher 2, food plays a vital role in ranching, as feeding slimes the right diet produces valuable plorts and keeps them happy. Slime food is divided into three main categories: fruits, vegetables, and meat, with each slime species having specific preferences and even a favorite food that doubles plort production. Common options include Pogofruit, Carrots, and Hen Hens, while rare foods like Water Lettuce, Cuberries, Heart Beets, and Sea Hens are highly sought after for maximizing slime efficiency. Farming food in gardens and coops is essential for maintaining a steady supply, and strategic feeding ensures higher yields, better plort profits, and overall ranch stability. Mastering food collection, farming, and feeding is key to thriving on Rainbow Island.
