Last updated
Wondering how to make friends with a chicken in Minecraft? You’re in the right place! Let’s dive into the steps needed to tame these feathery friends.
So, you want to tame a chicken in Minecraft, huh? It’s a fun way to gather a flock and have eggs aplenty for your adventures. Let’s get cracking on how you can do it!
Short Answer: You Can’t Exactly ‘Tame’ Chickens, But You Can Attract Them
In Minecraft, you can’t exactly tame chickens in the way you might tame a wolf or ocelot by feeding them a specific item until hearts appear. However, you can certainly attract chickens and keep them around!
To attract chickens, all you need is some seeds. Chickens love seeds! Just hold any type of seeds (like wheat, melon, pumpkin, or beetroot seeds) in your hand, and you’ll see chickens start to follow you. You can lead them into a fenced area to keep them nearby. This is as close as it gets to ‘taming’ chickens in Minecraft.
