In this guide, you will learn how to feed chickens while playing Stardew Valley.
Farm Animals are an important resource in the game that can be used to trade as well as provide beneficial resources that help you progress. One such animal is the Chicken. As with any real-life animals, you need to feed them to keep them alive.
How to Get Chickens in Stardew Valley
Visit Robin at the Carpenter’s Shop in the north part of Pelican Town. She will assist you in building a Chicken Coop which you can later upgrade to increase the number of chickens you can store.
Next, visit Marnie’s Ranch and purchase chickens from her. Or, place eggs in an incubator.
There are three types of chickens that are differentiated on the basis of their color: white, brown, and blue. The chickens have to be assigned to the coop and you can even name them.
How to Feed Chickens in Stardew Valley
Chickens have a diet of only hay or grass. Hay can be obtained by cutting the grass on your farm or by purchasing it from Marnie. Each chicken requires its own bale of hay.

You can find the hay on the top left corner of the Coop and you can place it in the feeding tray. You can even have Robin build you a silo so you can store the hay. Deluxe coops do not require manual input as they have an automatic feeding system.
