Catching Chickens In Sea Of Thieves: A Guide

In Sea of Thieves, players can capture chickens and sell them to the Merchant Alliance for gold and reputation. Chickens are a type of animal in the game that is often needed to complete voyages for the Merchant Alliance. They can be found on various islands, with different islands spawning chickens in different instances of the game. To capture a chicken, players need to find a chicken coop, which can be acquired from a Merchant Alliance trader or found randomly on islands. Players then need to bring the coop to an island with chickens, chase the desired chicken and hold the right trigger when close enough to capture it in the coop. The chicken can then be delivered to a Merchant Alliance Representative on an outpost to be sold.

Find a chicken coop

To find a chicken coop in Sea of Thieves, you must first take on a voyage from the Merchant Alliance. You can find the Merchant Alliance on the docks of Outpost islands. Once you've accepted the voyage, you can get a chicken coop from the Merchant NPC at any outpost.

Chicken coops can also be found on islands. They can be beached or stashed away on islands, even those that don't have chickens on them. Some players have reported finding chicken coops on the following islands:

• Crooks Hallow
• Begining Island

Another way to obtain a chicken coop is to steal them from other pirates.

Look for chickens on islands

To capture a chicken in Sea of Thieves, you'll first need to get your hands on a chicken coop. There are two ways to do this. The first is to talk to a Merchant Alliance trader and pick up a Merchant Voyage that requires the delivery of chickens. The number of coops you'll receive will be equal to the number of chickens you need to capture. The second way is to find a chicken coop at random while exploring islands.

Now that you have your coop, it's time to set sail and look for chickens on islands. Chickens can be found on almost every island in Sea of Thieves, but their spawn locations are not fixed. They can often be found on the shores of small islands or in the hills of larger islands, where they spawn in groups. They can also be found on islands that don't have any chickens, so keep an eye out for those coops!

When you arrive at an island, keep your eyes peeled for chickens. They can be tricky to spot, but with patience and diligence, you'll be able to track them down. Once you've found your feathered friend, make sure you have your coop in hand and are standing above the chicken. You'll then need to chase the chicken and hold the right trigger (RT) when you're close enough. If you hold it long enough, the chicken will be captured inside the coop.

It's important to note that chickens don't like being underwater, so keep the coop above water at all times when returning to your ship. With your chicken safely stowed away, you can set sail for the nearest Merchant Alliance outpost to claim your reward. Remember, capturing chickens might not make you rich, but it's a peaceful way to earn some gold and enjoy the sights of the open sea.

Chase the chicken

To catch a chicken in Sea of Thieves, you'll first need to get a chicken coop. There are two ways to do this. The first is to talk to a Merchant Alliance trader and accept a chicken-gathering voyage. Once the voyage is underway, the trader will provide you with a coop. The second way is to find a chicken coop while exploring islands. These can be found beached or stashed away on islands, even if the island doesn't have any chickens on it.

Now that you have a chicken coop, it's time to find a chicken! Chickens can be found on almost every island in the game, but their spawn locations are not fixed. They often spawn in groups, sometimes on the shores of small islands or in the hills of bigger islands. You may have better luck finding them on larger islands.

Once you've found a chicken, chase it while holding the coop. When you're close enough, hold the right trigger (RT) to catch it. A prompt will appear, indicating that the chicken has been captured inside the crate. Be careful not to get the coop wet—chickens don't like being underwater for too long!

With the chicken safely captured, you can now return to any Merchant Alliance outpost to sell it for gold and reputation. Completing a Trade Good Commission that requests the delivery of a specific chicken to a specific outpost will reward you with 10 times as much gold and reputation.

Capture the chicken in the coop

Capturing chickens in Sea of Thieves can be a great way to earn some gold and progress in the game without engaging in combat. To capture a chicken, you will need to get your hands on a chicken coop, which can be acquired in two ways. The first method is to obtain a chicken-gathering voyage from a Merchant Alliance trader and start the voyage. This will grant you access to the coop. The second method is to explore islands and hope to find a chicken coop stashed away or beached somewhere.

Once you have your chicken coop, it's time to find a chicken to capture. Chickens can be found on various islands, with larger islands seeming to have a higher spawn rate. They often spawn in groups, sometimes on the shores of small islands or in the hills of bigger islands. Keep in mind that chicken spawn locations can vary from game to game, so a chicken-filled island in one game may be empty in the next.

When you've located your target chicken, make sure you have the coop in hand and are standing above the chicken. Chase the chicken and hold the right trigger (RT) when you're close enough. If you hold it long enough, the chicken will be captured inside the coop. You can then check what chicken you've caught by dropping the coop. If it's not the chicken you need, you'll have to kill it with your sword to empty the coop. Remember, chickens cannot swim, so keep the coop above water at all times.

After capturing the desired chicken, you can deliver it back to any Merchant Alliance Representatives on Outposts to sell it for gold and reputation. Completing a Trade Good Commission that requests the delivery of specific chickens to a specific outpost within a time limit will grant you significantly more gold and reputation.

Sell the chicken to a Merchant Alliance Representative

To sell a chicken to a Merchant Alliance Representative in Sea of Thieves, players must first find and capture a chicken. Chickens can be found on various islands, often in groups, sometimes on the shores of small islands or in the hills of bigger islands. They can also be found on Chicken Isle, though they may not always be there. Players will need a chicken coop to capture a chicken, which can be acquired in two ways. The first is by talking to a Merchant Alliance Representative at an outpost who has given you a chicken-gathering voyage. The second is by finding a chicken coop at random while exploring islands.

With the coop in hand, players can then chase after the chicken they want to capture and hold the right trigger (RT) when they're close enough. If held long enough, the chicken will be caught in the coop. Players can then drop the coop to see what animal they have caught. It is important to keep the coop above water at all times when swimming back to the ship, as chickens do not like being underwater for too long.

Once the chicken is captured, players can then deliver it to any Merchant Alliance Representative on an outpost and sell it for gold and reputation. On its own, a captured chicken is not worth much gold or reputation. However, players can acquire a Trade Good Commission that requests the delivery of specific chickens to a specific outpost within a certain time. Completing these commissions will reward players with 10 times as much gold and reputation for the chicken. There are also four tiers of chickens, distinguished by their colouring, which may affect their value.
