Stony Hen

Type: Meat
Stony Hen

Stony hens are thought to have evolved from hen hens who once trekked deep into the mountains of the Far, Far Range. Perhaps these birds were seeking a clarity of mind that one can truly obtain through meditation amongst these lofty, barren crags. But most likely, they were just stupid and got lost.

Stony hens in close proximity to roostros will periodically lay eggs that produce stony chickadoos. However, keeping too many hens or roostros 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 always keep their coops from exceeding 12 grown chickens.

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.
