How to Breed Chickens in Minecraft
This Minecraft tutorial explains how to breed chickens with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft, you can breed chickens and make cute baby chicks. Let's explore how to breed chickens.
Required Materials to Breed Chickens
In Minecraft, these are the materials you can use to breed chickens:
Steps to Breed Chickens
1. Find Two Chickens
First, you will need to find two chickens to breed.
If you are having trouble finding chickens, you can summon a chicken using a cheat or you can use a spawn egg.
Your chickens will need to be close together when breeding, so we have built a fence to keep our two chickens from running away.
2. Use the Seeds
Next, with the seeds selected in your hot bar, you will need to feed the seeds to each of the chickens, one at a time.
The game control to use/feed the seeds to the chickens depends on the version of Minecraft:
- For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the chickens one at a time.
- For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the chickens one at a time.
- For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
- For PS3 and PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
- For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.
- For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
- For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the chickens one at a time.
- For Education Edition, right click on the chickens one at a time.
As you feed the seeds to the chickens, you will see red hearts appear over their heads. Each of these chickens is entering love mode.
Once you have fed both chickens, they will turn to each other and red hearts will continue to appear over their heads.
After a moment, the red hearts will disappear and a cute baby chick will be standing there.
Now you will have two adult chickens and one baby chicken.
Congratulations, you just learned how to breed chickens in Minecraft!
