Catching The Elusive Fowl: Luma Island Chicken Chase

Luma Island is a family-friendly co-op adventure game that allows players to build their dream farm, master professions, collect magical Lumas, and find treasures. In this game, chickens are an important part of the farming experience, as they help to get rid of insects that can infest your crops. To catch the flying chicken, players must first obtain chicken eggs and hatch them. This can be done by purchasing the chicken coop blueprint and then buying the chickens. Players must also feed the chickens hay, either by throwing it at them or using a feeding trough. With a healthy supply of hay, chickens will produce eggs daily, which can be collected and used for various purposes. Additionally, players can catch beetles with a bug net and use them as food for the chickens. By having chickens near the crops, players can ensure that beetles are kept at bay.

Get chicken eggs

To get chicken eggs in Luma Island, you'll first need to buy the chicken coop blueprint and then purchase the chickens. You'll also need to feed them hay, either by using the throw button to chuck hay at them or by placing hay in a feeding trough. You should then receive one egg per chicken per day.

However, some players have reported issues with their chickens not producing eggs. One player suggested that the position of the feeding trough might be a factor, as their chickens started laying eggs after they moved it. Another player recommended moving the chicken coop to the middle of the enclosure, as they suspected that their chickens were scared by the foxes.

It's also worth noting that chickens can serve other purposes on your farm besides laying eggs. They can help to get rid of insects that infest your crops, and they can also eat beetles that you catch with your bug net.

Use feeding trough

In Luma Island, chickens are an important part of your farm as they help to keep your fields clear of beetles. They also produce eggs, which are a valuable resource for crafting certain items, such as cherry pie for the Skilled Cook quest.

To get eggs from your chickens, you need to feed them hay. One way to do this is by using the throw button to chuck hay at them. However, this method may not always work. A more reliable way is to use a feeding trough. You can buy the blueprint for the feeding trough for 10k gold. Once you have the blueprint, simply place hay in the trough and your chickens will feed from it, producing eggs.

It's important to note that the placement of the feeding trough can affect whether your chickens use it or not. If they don't seem to be eating from the trough, try moving it to a different location. Additionally, make sure that the trough is placed within your chickens' enclosure, as they won't leave their huts if they are scared by foxes.

Another thing to keep in mind is that chickens will only eat hay and produce eggs when they are not asleep. So, if you have multiple chickens, you may want to consider having more than one feeding trough to ensure they all have access to food.

By using a feeding trough and providing hay for your chickens, you can ensure a steady supply of eggs and help keep your fields beetle-free.

Chuck hay at chickens

To get chicken eggs in Luma Island, you need to feed your chickens hay. If you don't have a feeding trough, you can use the throw button to chuck hay at them. However, some players have reported that this method doesn't work, and it is generally considered easier to use a feeding trough. Place the feeding trough in an area without plants and put hay inside. You will get one egg per chicken per day.

Chickens will also eat beetles, which you can catch using a bug net. They can help to keep your crops free of pests, but you don't need to feed them hay for this. Simply ensure that they are near or inside the area where you're growing crops, and they will feed on the beetles. Having at least two chickens around your crops will ensure that they are constantly tended to.

Protect from foxes

In Luma Island, foxes pose a threat to your chickens and other small farm animals, such as rabbits. They spawn outside your property and disrupt your animals' routines by frightening them, causing them to stay inside their pens until the fox is chased away.

Fencing

A straightforward solution is to fence off the perimeter of your property. While this can help keep foxes out, they may still circle your chicken coop and rabbit hutch, looking for gaps in the fence to exploit. Therefore, it's important to regularly check your fences for any vulnerabilities and make repairs as needed.

Goats

Another effective way to deter foxes is to purchase goats from the Farmer's Shop. Goats actively chase foxes away from your property. Additionally, they produce milk, adding to the utility of your farm. To ensure maximum protection for your chickens and rabbits, keep them in the same enclosure as your goats or have a separate goat pen nearby. Foxes will be prevented from spawning or approaching as long as the goats are within a 15-tile radius of the smaller animals.

Dogs

Some players have suggested using the dog pet to scare the fox out of its burrow, creating an opportunity to catch the fox. However, others have tried this method without success, as the fox tends to disappear after running away.

By implementing these strategies, you can effectively protect your chickens and other small farm animals from foxes in Luma Island.

Use to catch farm fish

In Luma Island, chickens are useful for keeping beetles and other critters away from your crops. To catch a flying chicken, you will first need to build a chicken coop and purchase chickens from the Farmer's Shop. You can then use your Bug Net to pick up the chickens and relocate them to the coop.

Now, onto catching farm fish in Luma Island. Firstly, you will need a Fishing Rod, which is given to you for free after completing the Tutorial. Next, you will need to obtain some Bait. You can either buy this from the Fisherman's Shop near the Town Hall or catch beetles using your Bug Net, which can then be used as bait.

Once you have your Fishing Rod and Bait, go to any of the ponds or water sources in the game and select your Fishing Rod from your inventory. Click the Left Mouse Button to select the Bait and aim for the swimming fish. After a second, you will start the fishing mini-game, where you will need to chase the fish with the bobber. If you can stay on top of the fish for long enough, you will get the prompt to reel it in.

You can also use your Fishing Rod to find Sunken Farm Treasures. Look out for air bubbles on a pond or the sea, and cast your rod at the spot. To obtain the treasure, you will first need to craft a Copper Magnet and use it as Bait.
