The Chicken is a tiny farm bird that anyone can tame. It only fights when attacked and is carved for feathers.
Overview
- In-game name: a chicken
- Corpse: a chicken corpse

| Resistances and damage types (not used on New Bradford) | |
|---|---|
| The script also lists Age of Shadows resistances and damage types. New Bradford runs on Lord Blackthorn's Revenge combat rules, so these values have no effect in fights. They're shown here only for completeness. | |
| Damage types | 100% physical |
| Resistances | Physical 1–5 |
Taming
| Requirement | Value |
|---|---|
| Minimum Animal Taming | −0.9 (anyone can try, even with no skill) |
| Control slots | 1 |
| Maximum owners | 5 (each previous owner makes it harder to tame) |
| Bonding | Yes |
| Rideable | No |
| Favorite food | Grain and hay |
- Anyone can try. Its minimum is below 0, so you can tame it even with no Animal Taming skill.
- Success chance. For a first-time tame, your chance of success at the end of an attempt rises by about 2% per skill point and reaches 100% at 49.0 skill (about 2% even at 0 skill). Every previous owner adds 6 points to the difficulty.
- Don't hurt it. If it takes any damage during your attempt, taming fails with "The animal is too angry to continue taming."
- Stay close. You must stay within 6 tiles of it and keep a clear path to it.
- Obedience. Once tamed, its taming requirement is 29.1 or lower, so it always obeys its owner.
- Re-taming. If you've owned this one before, taming it again always succeeds ("That wasn't even challenging.").
- After its first tame, its skills drop to 90% of their wild values, or 86% if it was paralyzed while you tamed it. Its stats don't drop.
Bonding
Only the owner can bond with a chicken. Its taming requirement is 29.1 or lower, so there's no Animal Taming requirement to bond. Feed it to start bonding, then feed it again after 7 days to finish. When you see "Your pet has bonded with you!", it's done.
Loot
It carries no loot.
Carving
Use a blade on the corpse to get:
- 1 raw bird
- 25 feathers, doubled to 50 in Felucca
Tips
- Anyone can tame a chicken, and it always obeys.
- With only 3 hit points it's no fighter.
- Carve the corpse for 25 feathers (50 in Felucca), useful for fletching arrows and bolts.
