The Chicken in Grow a Garden is one of the many pets you can keep. Discover its traits and decide if you want to keep it in your garden.

Grow a Garden is all about getting the most out of your crops and the in-game pets help a lot in maximizing the output of your garden. The Chicken is one of the many original pets that was added to the Roblox experience on May 3, 2025. Like its compatriots, it has a trait that boosts a specific feature of your garden as long as it is deployed in one of the pet slots.
This article is a short guide about the Chicken standalone uncommon pet in Grow a Garden. Players should not confuse it with the Chicken Jockey limited edition pet that is not obtainable anymore.
What Is the Chicken’s Trait in Grow a Garden: Pet Tips
During the Animal Update, the developers added a variety of pets to the game that could be hatched through eggs. As mentioned, each one of them has a special trait that affects the plants or other items in your garden. Here is what the Chicken pet does in the game:
- The Chicken pet passively boosts the hatching speed of eggs by 10%. The effect stacks.
- You can boost the rate marginally by aging the pet.
Reducing egg hatch time is crucial for those who are looking to get new pets in Grow a Garden. It is recommended that you always have a pet in the garden to boost the hatch time rate if you have an active egg. This makes the Chicken very useful, especially in the early game when players tend to buy more eggs to get new pets.
You should also note that the 10% boost to eggs stacks with other pets with similar abilties such as the Rooster, and Kiwi. To hatch eggs fast, players are recommended to have as many of these type of pets active to make the process much faster. Pairing Chicken with a Rooster makes the eggs grow 30% faster than normal.
How To Get the Chicken Pet?
You can get the pet via a couple of ways.
- Uncommon Egg: The easiest way to get the Chicken Pet is to hatch one of the uncommon eggs that can be purchased from the shop for 150K Sheckles. If you want to spend real money, it would cost you 39 Robux. However, the uncommon egg has only a 54% chance of appearing in the shop, so you might have to wait. If you get your hands on the egg, there is a 25% chance that it will hatch a Chicken, so you might need to try multiple times.
- Trading: You can try to get another player to gift the pet to you in-game. Do note that trading is not an in-game feature and is entirely up to your fellow players.
To effectively trade, you can join the official Grow a Garden Discord Server. It has a dedicated #looking-for channel where people can ask for items, pets, and more.
