The Void Chicken is a rare breed of chicken with a mysterious origin. It hatches from a Void Egg, an egg first left behind by a witch in the night. A fed adult lays one Void Egg every day, just as an ordinary hen lays a normal Egg. Void Eggs make Void Mayonnaise, the one item that opens the way to the Witch's Hut during the "Goblin Problem" quest. Krobus and Sebastian both love the egg as a gift. For most farms, the Void Chicken is a curiosity and a quest helper rather than a big earner.

Care

A Void Chicken needs a Big Coop or Deluxe Coop, since those are the buildings with an Incubator. Once hatched, it lives exactly like the rest of the flock. It eats one portion of grass or Hay each day. On sunny days it heads outside to peck at fresh grass, which gives it the best mood. On rainy days and all through Winter it stays inside and eats from the feeding bench.

Daily petting raises its friendship towards five hearts and keeps its mood high. A Heater helps on cold Winter evenings. Closing the Coop door only once every bird is home keeps the Void Chicken from a grumpy morning or a wild animal attack. The Coopmaster profession speeds up friendship with it, like any Coop animal.

Produce

A grown Void Chicken lays a Void Egg each day as long as it has eaten. The egg is worth a little more than a normal Egg but less than a Large Egg. Better friendship and mood raise the chance of a higher-quality egg.

Putting a Void Egg into a Mayonnaise Machine makes Void Mayonnaise in a few hours. The jar sells for roughly four times the raw egg. Void Mayonnaise is always normal quality, so egg quality makes no difference to it.

Void Mayonnaise has two special uses. In the "Goblin Problem" quest, a goblin Henchman blocks the path to the Witch's Hut in the Witch's Swamp. Giving him a Void Mayonnaise clears the way. Cooking Void Mayonnaise with Wheat Flour and a Periwinkle also makes a Strange Bun.

Void Eggs work as eggs in cooking recipes, so they can stand in for chicken or duck eggs. Eating one raw, however, drains energy instead of restoring it. As gifts, Krobus and Sebastian love the Void Egg, and Krobus also loves Void Mayonnaise. Leah hates the egg.

Buying

Every flock of void chickens starts with a Void Egg. A witch may fly over a Big Coop or Deluxe Coop during the night and leave one inside. That only happens while the Coop has a free space. Krobus also sells Void Eggs in The Sewers for a steep price. A farmer married to Shane may receive one from him as a gift on rainy days. A Void Salmon Fish Pond can produce one too, once enough fish live in it.

Placing a Void Egg in the Incubator hatches a void chick. The hatching message notes that the new chick looks odd. The Coopmaster profession halves the hatching time. After the first bird matures, its own eggs can hatch more.

A Void Chicken sells for the same price as an ordinary chicken at the same friendship.

A Void Chicken can take a Golden Animal Cracker too, which doubles its eggs permanently.
