Hen Hen

Type: Meat
Hen Hen

Hen Hens are a special breed of chicken bred to survive the climate of the Far, Far Range. While appearing more or less like a big chicken, these burly birds are much more adept at fending for themselves, making them ideal for ranchers who might otherwise be distracted by a few hundred hungry slimes.

Hen Hens in close proximity to roostros will periodically lay eggs that produce chickadoos. However, keeping too many hens or roostros in close proximity makes them anxious and egg production will come to halt. Savvy ranchers with an understanding of the complex nature of chicken romance always keep their coops from exceeding 12 grown chickens.

Where to find

Tips

  • When skipping days, a coop with 12–16 Hen Hens typically produces 0–3 Chickadoos per day.
  • Always balance Hen Hens and Roostros in coops—too many of either can stop egg production.
  • They’re the most versatile meat source, so raising a steady supply ensures you can keep most meat-loving slimes happy.

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.
