Elder Hen
Elder hens have lived a full-feathered life. They've met the roostro of their dreams, seen their little chickadoos grow up, and are ready to start the next chapter of their chicken lives. In all likelihood this will include getting the names of countless books, movies and actors wrong. But don't blame them for that. They're chickens for goodness sake.
Where to find
- Converts from any Hen, doesn't spawn naturally
Tips
- An Elder Hen or Roostro is required for the achievement *Carousel*, where you must throw one into an Incinerator.
- Elder Hens can still be fed to Slimes, but no Slime has them as a favorite.
- They naturally appear when hens age, so don’t expect them to spawn directly in the wild.

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.
