Candied Hen

Type: Meat
Candied Hen

Candied hens are a mysterious breed of chicken found in the Grey Labyrinth. Their unusual sweetness is almost too perfect, as if pulled from the dreams of a hungry slime. How did such a hen come to be in the labyrinth?

Candied hens in close proximity to roostros will periodically lay eggs that produce candied chickadoos. However, keeping too many chickens 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 will monitor growth rates in their coops and reduce density when growth begins to slow.

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.
