Hatchlings or just-purchased chickens do not need to be fed on the day they arrive on the farm, although they respond as normal to petting. Afterwards, babies and adults require the same care and amounts of food. Baby chicks that are given food reach maturity on the third day after hatching or purchase. Beginning the fourth day, adult chickens that were fed the day before produce an egg apiece every morning.
Chickens eat [[Animals#Food|hay]], which can be purchased from Marnie or harvested from [[grass]]. If there is grass in the yard outside the coop and you open the coop door to let them outside, they will eat the grass rather than hay, and receive a mood boost as well. This option is not available in winter, during which they will not venture outside even if the doors remain open (additionally, no grass grows in winter). When let outside, they will return to the coop at around 5pm every day even if they get outside of a fenced area through an open gate or broken spot, so don't worry about them escaping. The fencing can often serve more of a way to keep them from eating too much of the grass on your farm too quickly.
