Chickens are the Farmyard's busiest residents: up at first light, pecking about under the Apple Orchard and chattering about everything they find. Their eggs are small and steady, and for most new Keepers a chicken's egg is the first real egg they ever crack.
Laying her egg: “Bawk bawk!”
Once it's laid: “Phew!”
A baby's first words: “Peep!”
The six Chicken babies
Every species in Perfect Crack has six Hatchery Babies: the everyday baby you meet first, four rare colours (Frost, Shadow, Golden and Rainbow, from sparkly and Rainbow eggs) and the Champion, won from the Champion egg in your scored Daily Challenge. Once freed, they live in your Farmyard habitat for good. In the game, tap a baby in its habitat on three different days to become friends and hear its secret.
Babies you haven't found in the game yet are hidden. Tap one to peek, or .

Nugget
Chicken · Common
Curious
Favourite activity: Pecking for worms under the apple tree
Nugget hasn't stopped asking questions since the moment you freed him. Why do worms wiggle? Where does the pond go at night? What's in the Old Red Barn's loft? He pecks at everything to find out, and he's always the first to spot something new in the Farmyard.
“Asks more questions than the entire Guild exam. I rather like him.”
Secret: He keeps a list of every question nobody has answered yet. It is very long.

Biscuit
Frost Chicken · Uncommon · Carries the mark of the Great Frost
Sleepy
Favourite activity: Napping in the warm hay
Biscuit carries the chill of the Great Frost, and she still hasn't quite warmed up. Her favourite place is the top of the hay bale in the afternoon sun, where she fluffs up into a pale-blue ball and sleeps until somebody says the word 'breakfast'.
“Cold feathers, warm heart, very fond of naps. Do not wake before noon.”
Secret: She dreams of visiting the Frozen Coast, but only in summer.

Pecky
Shadow Chicken · Rare · Carries the mark of the Great Eclipse
Mischievous
Favourite activity: Sneaking up on the ducks
Pecky loves the dark, and his inky feathers make him almost invisible after sunset. When the ducks are dozing, he creeps up and gives the water trough one very loud PECK. By the time anyone turns round, he's back in his spot, looking innocent.
“Charming. Slippery. Has never once been caught. Keep an eye on him.”
Secret: He has never actually pecked anyone. He just likes the noise.
✓
Sunny
Golden Chicken · Super rare · Carries the mark of the Golden Dawn
Friendly
Favourite activity: Clucking good morning to the sunrise
Sunny glows like the Golden Dawn itself, and she's an early riser to match. She's up before everyone, clucking good morning to the sun, the barn and anyone who will listen. New babies always find a friend in Sunny on their very first day.
“Golden through and through, inside and out.”
Secret: She has given every cloud over Clover Hill its own name.
✓
Waffles
Rainbow Chicken · Ultra rare · Carries the mark of the Great Rainbow
Playful
Favourite activity: Chasing butterflies on Clover Hill
Waffles has been chasing colours since the day his shell cracked open. He races butterflies across Clover Hill, tumbles down the far side and runs straight back up to do it again. Nobody has ever seen Waffles walk anywhere.
“Exhausting, delightful, and impossible to keep still for a photograph.”
Secret: He's sure he'll find the end of the rainbow one day, and has a hiding place ready for the gold.
✓
Clucky
Champion Chicken · Champion · Won at the Hatchery Show
Brave
Favourite activity: Showing off her rosette to the whole farm
Clucky won her place at the Hatchery Show, cracked clean in front of a cheering crowd, and she has not stopped talking about it. She wears her rosette everywhere and will happily tell you the whole story. Twice. She's also the first to stand up to anything strange in the Farmyard.
“A true Champion. Modesty, sadly, was not included.”
Secret: She practises her winner's bow in the water trough every morning.
Did you know? Chickens are descended from the red junglefowl of South and Southeast Asia, and there are more chickens in the world than any other kind of bird.
