Show your chickens some love and they will reward you with special eggs that can be converted into crafting and building resources.
Level 1 Chickens
Purchase level 1 baby Resource Chickens from Marnie once you have a Coop constructed. Resource Chickens cost twice as much as vanilla chickens because they can be twice as helpful. Resource eggs can be converted into resources, turned into mayo, and used in cooking recipes.
Level 2 and above chickens produce eggs that provide higher tier resources but can only be obtained through gameplay.
Each subsequent increase in chicken level adds 10% to both the sell price of eggs and sell price of chickens!

Craft (or purchase) a Resource Egg Converter
The crafting recipe for the Resource Egg Converter is unlocked once reaching Farming skill level 2. Marnie will also start selling the Resource Egg Converter at that time as well. Once a resource egg is put into the machine, it takes 3 hours for them to be turned into a resource. (Production time can be adjusted in the configs).
Resource eggs can be put into a Resource Egg Converter to produce their respective resource, or, if you already have plenty of that resource available, put the special resource eggs into the vanilla Mayonnaise Maker to produce mayo (large resource eggs also produce gold quality mayo like vanilla eggs!) To expand on your chicken empire, resource eggs can also be put into the Incubator in the Big Coop or Deluxe Coop to make more Resource Chickens. Short on regular eggs for a cooking recipe? Resource eggs can also be used in cooking recipes as a substitute for regular eggs.
Machine Production Amounts Per Chicken Type
To help make room on your farm for all your new chickens, a 3rd upgrade to the Coop is now available to build from Robin. The Giant Coop can house up to 24 Coop animals and also comes with a second Egg Incubator with the building upgrade. The second incubator that comes with the Giant Coop upgrade can be picked up by hitting it with an axe or pickaxe and then placed anywhere else in the coop (must be placed in the coop to hatch chickens).
The larger Coop map gives you lots of space for your machines and chests. The building sprite was also made by the lovely Tophatta!
There is a config option to allow for the upgrading of the interior of the Deluxe Coop to the larger Giant Coop, but the exterior appearance of the coop building will remain as a Deluxe Coop. This will allow for those who use building replacement mods and would prefer to keep a consistent building appearance. (If changing this setting while in game, you will need to reload your save file)
Note: if multiple incubators are ready to hatch chickens in the same coop, you must leave and re-enter the coop after naming each chicken. The game only allows for naming and spawning 1 chicken at a time. After naming the first chicken, simply exit and re-enter the coop to receive the prompt to name the next chicken.
Resource Chickens can start producing large resource eggs once you reach a 2 heart relationship with them (configurable), which can be turned into slightly more resources.
Works with Automate!
Also works with the Auto Grabber!
Feel like aspects of Resource Chickens are overpowered or underpowered? Just about everything can be customised in the config settings, either directly in the config.json or by using GMCM (recommended).
Some of what can be customised:
Vanilla style sprites are edits done by Tophatta and I, of existing vanilla sprites originally made by ConcernedApe. Hatta style sprites are
original creations made by Tophatta.
There are currently two appearance options for Resource Chickens sprites using GMCM:
Vanilla Style: recolourings and edits done by Tophatta and I of existing vanilla sprites originally made by ConcernedApe.
Hatta Style: custom and unique sprites created by the wonderfully talented Tophatta!
You can also enable vanilla chickens to look Hatta Style

Want to help translate this mod into another language? This mod is fully prepared for i18n localisation. Download the default.json file in the
i18n folder of this mod or reach out to me over Discord (UncleArya). I can then add your translation file to the main mod file for improved
localisation support.
This mod relies entirely on Content Patcher, so it should be fully compatible with pretty much every other mod out there.
Please let me know if you come across any issues.
Direct compatibility has been added for the following mods:
Sapling Egg: If Cornucopia, Ridgeside, or Vapius is present, fruit trees from those mods will be in the drop pool
Librarian Egg: If More Books and/or Button's Extra Books is present, books from that mod will be present in the drop pool for Large Librarian Eggs
Visit Mount Vapius: If Vapius is present, items from Vapius will appear in the drop pool for: Geode Eggs, Artifact Eggs, Sapling Eggs, Tapper Eggs
Works with Machine Progression System. The mod author has added support for resource eggs into their mayo machines!
A custom item bag has been created by Spartan586 for the mod Item Bags.
Please let me know if you come across any compatibility issues.
