Minecraft Java Snapshot updates are always highly anticipated, offering glimpses into upcoming features. Snapshot 25w06a introduces three exciting chicken variants. This guide details their locations and how to acquire them.

Temperate Chickens: The classic white chickens, now designated "Temperate Chickens," reside in all biomes not categorized as warm or cold.
Taming and Breeding Chickens
To collect these feathered friends, use seeds to lure them. Chickens will follow you when you carry seeds, allowing you to guide them into a pen. Repeat as needed. Remember, transporting chickens, especially in Survival mode, can be challenging, so establish checkpoints along the way.
Breeding is straightforward. Feed two chickens of the same variant seeds to produce an egg of that type. For a surprise, feed seeds to two different variants; the resulting egg will hatch into a random variant.
This guide covers finding and breeding all three Minecraft chicken variants. For more Minecraft content, check out our guide on obtaining Armadillo Scutes.
