In Sea of Thieves, players can embark on quests to capture and deliver animals such as chickens and pigs to the Merchant Alliance Trading Company. To complete these quests, players must first obtain chicken cages or coops, which can be acquired through two methods. The first method is to accept a merchant voyage or quest from a Merchant Alliance Representative at an outpost, which will provide players with the necessary number of chicken coops required for the quest. Alternatively, empty chicken coops can be found beached or stashed away on islands, and players will need to manually capture chickens to place inside these coops. Once a chicken is captured, it can be delivered back to any Merchant Alliance Representative for gold and reputation.

Find a chicken cage on an island
To find a chicken cage on an island in Sea of Thieves, you can start by visiting the first Outpost where you spawn and talking to all the NPCs. The Merchant Alliance can be found on the docks of Outpost islands. You can talk to them to start animal-related missions.
You can get chicken cages from the merchant that gives you quests to catch animals. However, you can also find empty chicken coops beached or stashed away on islands. They can appear on islands that don't have chickens on them.
Once you have the cage, find and follow a chicken. When you're close enough, pull the right trigger to catch it. Chickens don't like being underwater for too long.
It's important to note that a chicken cage has no value on its own and cannot be sold back to the Merchant Alliance empty. It's only valuable when carrying a chicken inside it.

Deliver the chicken to an outpost
To deliver the chicken to an outpost in Sea of Thieves, players must first acquire a chicken coop, also known as an animal crate. These can be obtained through two methods. The first is to pick up a merchant voyage that requires the delivery of chickens. In this case, players can obtain chicken coops from any Merchant Alliance Representative at outposts. The number of coops provided will be equal to the number of chickens required for the voyage.
The second method is to find empty chicken coops beached or stashed away on islands. These can be found on islands that don't necessarily have chickens on them. Once players have obtained an empty chicken coop, they must then locate a chicken to capture. Chickens can be found on various islands, with larger islands seeming to have a higher likelihood of spawning them.
Once a chicken is spotted, players must chase after it while holding the coop. When close enough, a prompt will appear, indicating that the chicken can be captured inside the coop. Players should be careful not to keep chickens underwater for too long, as they don't like it. Additionally, chickens inside coops can die, so it is important to keep them safe from harm.
After successfully capturing a chicken, players can then deliver it back to any Merchant Alliance Representatives on outposts to complete their voyage. This will reward players with gold and reputation. The amount of gold and reputation earned can be significantly increased by acquiring a Trade Good Commission that requests the delivery of a specific number of chickens to a specific outpost within a time limit.

Receive gold and reputation
To receive gold and reputation in Sea of Thieves, you must first find a chicken cage, also known as a chicken coop. These can be found on islands, either beached or stashed away. Once you have a chicken cage, you can then capture a chicken. Stand over a chicken while holding the cage and press the RT button to capture the chicken.
Once you have captured a chicken, you can then sell it to any Merchant Alliance Representatives on Outposts for gold and reputation. However, chickens are not worth much on their own. To maximise your gold and reputation, you should complete a Trade Good Commission or Merchant Contract that requests the delivery of a specific number of chickens to a specific Outpost by a certain time. Completing the commission will reward you with 10 times as much gold and reputation for the chickens.
You can also kill chickens for chicken meat, which can then be cooked and eaten for health or sold to The Hunter's Call for gold and reputation.
