Wild Chicken
You caught a chicken!
Place it in a chicken coop to produce eggs and feathers. Add another chicken to the coop, and they may create another chicken!
Catching a chicken
Approach a living chicken quietly, preferably while crouching. Get close and use the interaction shown on screen; the default PC interaction key is E. Catch it alive instead of killing it for meat. Carry the wild chicken to a chicken coop and move it into a chicken slot. Placing it there turns it into a domesticated chicken.
Carrying and stress
A wild chicken is carried in your hands and has a stress meter. Walking raises stress, sprinting raises it faster, crouch-walking calms it slowly, and standing still lets it calm down faster. Stop before the meter fills. Switching equipment or mounting a vehicle can make you drop the wild chicken. Plan a safe route and let another player protect you if possible.
Stress events
At 100% stress, the default random event can make you drop the chicken, anger nearby zombies, summon a zombie horde or release hostile chickens. More events become available as game stage rises. Game stage reflects progression and is not the world day. The Chicken Stress Event world setting can change or disable these events. The icons below describe events shown to the carrier, not diseases to cure with medicine.
