Chickens
From Animania
There are 5 Chicken Breeds in Animania. Each has slightly different drops and resources. For instance, the Orpington drops the best meat, while the Wyandotte lays brown eggs, and Leghorns lay eggs the fastest.

Care
Food
Chickens eat seeds (all vanilla seeds), which can be scattered on the ground by right-clicking while holding seeds or they can be hand fed seeds.
Water
Chickens can drink water from troughs, freshwater lakes and rivers, or from water buckets. Unlike pigs and cows, they do not consume a full water block or bucket.
Nests
For a hen to lay eggs, she must be happy (fed and watered) and have access to a nest. You can pluck the eggs from the nest, or if you have a rooster in the coop leave them to hatch into chicks.
