Improvement	14 Ash Planks 12 Wool Fabrics 4 Zinc Ingots 5 Bottled Ectoplasm 450 Glims

The chicken coop is used to hatch eggs into chickens that will then lay eggs for you. Since eggs are an important ingredient for many Spiritfarer dishes, having a steady supply of egg-laying chickens will make things much easier.

But since this is a late game building, constructing one can take a fair bit of legwork.

This guide will go in-depth explaining how to build the Chicken Coop, how to upgrade it, and how to use it.

Building the Chicken Coop

Albert’s shipyard.

Despite being a particularly useful building that will save you tons of work, Stella will not be instructed by any spirit passenger to build the chicken coop. This means that you can build it any time, so long as you have the needed requirements.

Before all that though, you need to first acquire the Expert Blueprint Station upgrade from Albert’s Shipyard, found at X: 61, Y: 64.

Step 1: Getting the Expert Blueprint Station

Once you’re at the shipyard, simply head on over to the upgrades menu and look for the blueprint upgrade. Here, you’ll find that it’s the fourth blueprint upgrade, which means that all previous blueprint upgrades must first be bought.

These are:

Blueprint Upgrade	Materials	Buildings Unlocked
Beginner	Free (acquired very early in the game)	Guest House Garden Field Kitchen
Hobbyist	2 Maple Logs 1 Limestone 400 Glims	Sawmill Loom Foundry
Craftsman	10 Oak Planks 10 Linen Threads 1,000 Glims	Orchard Sheep Corral Windmill

Once you’ve progressed through the game and acquired all these upgrades, you can start working towards the Expert blueprint upgrade. Here’s what you’ll need for that:

Expert Blueprint Upgrade Requirements
Material	Where/How to Get
10 Iron Ingots	Made by smelting iron ore in the Foundry. Iron ore is mined at: Hoseki Quarry (X: -138, Y: 28) Crow’s End Inc. (X: -126, Y: -51)
10 Wool Fabric	Made from wool thread at the upgraded Loom. Wool thread is made from Wool fiber, sheared from Sheep. Sheep can be found on: Hummingberg (X: 39, Y: 139) Mount Toroyama (X: -99, Y: 34) Gurenu Fields (X: -65, Y: 55) Nordweiler (X: -3, Y: 185) Sandwich Walk (X: 141, Y: -54) Sheep can be tamed by giving them any plant-based food, after which they’ll follow you back on the ship.
1,000 Glims	Gathered from selling items, completing tasks, and playing event mini-games.

After getting the expert blueprint station, you’ll be able to build your very own chicken coop (along with the lounge and crusher).

Step 2: Building the Chicken Coop

Here’s all the materials you’ll need for this building:

Chicken Coop Building Requirements
Material	Where/How to Get
10 Ash Planks	Ash plank is made from cutting ash logs at the Sawmill. Ash logs are cut from ash trees found in: Sunspring Square (X: 151, Y: -109) Ambertown Park (X: 216, Y: -72)
20 Wool Fabrics	Made from wool thread at the upgraded Loom. Wool thread is made from Wool fiber, sheared from Sheep. Sheep can be found on: Hummingberg (X: 39, Y: 139) Mount Toroyama (X: -99, Y: 34) Gurenu Fields (X: -65, Y: 55) Nordweiler (X: -3, Y: 185) Sandwich Walk (X: 141, Y: -54) Sheep can be tamed by giving them any plant-based food, after which they’ll follow you back on the ship.
8 Copper Ingots	Made from smelting copper ore at the Foundry. Copper ore is mined at: Greenhalten Bay (X: -8, Y: 75) Iwashima Countryside (X: -64, Y: 16)

How To Get Chickens from Eggs

Now that you have the chicken coop, it’s time to get some eggs.

This is because unlike the cow stall that automatically comes with a cow once built, the coop comes empty.

So to get your hands on some eggs, head on over to Oxbury at (X: 233, Y: 18) and walk until you find the Raccoon Store Inc. shop.

Here you can purchase eggs for 440 Glims apiece.

The Raccoon store in Oxbury is the only place to get eggs.

Aside from rare drops in floating crates, this is also the only place where you can purchase eggs.

Note: While you can immediately use these eggs for cooking, the shop sells them at limited quantities and takes time to “restock.” This is why we recommend hatching them into chickens for an unlimited supply of eggs instead.

How To Use the Chicken Coop

Once hatched, the chicks will walk around the feed on the seeds.

Step 1: Once you have the eggs, head back over to the chicken coop and interact with the small door inside. This is where you’ll place the eggs for hatching, although you can only hatch one at a time.

Step 2: After putting the egg inside, head back outside and interact with the feeder to place some seeds.

You can put any seed that’s in your inventory, but we suggest sunflower seeds since these are pretty easy to grow and stock. Otherwise, feel free to pick whatever seed you like.

Step 3: Just carry on with other tasks on your boat. After a day or two, go back inside the coop to check the newly hatched chick, walking around and feeding on the seeds.

It takes about a day or 2 for this chick to grow into a chicken.

Step 4: Now you can put another egg and repeat the whole process.

You can hatch up to six chickens inside the coop, and you will get a notification whenever it’s time to collect the eggs.

These can then be used for different recipes, like egg salad, sunny side up, pancakes, and omelettes, to name a few.

Grow up to a total of six chickens in the coop.

Just remember to always fill the feeder with seeds.

Note: you can also build more than one chicken coop, if you wish. However, the cost of the materials will double until the fourth copy.

Chicken Coop Improvement

If you want your chickens fed for longer so you don’t run out of seeds, you can get the chicken coop improvement upgrade blueprint.

To find it, simply head on over to Loneberg (X: -40, Y: 192) and use the zipline to get to the roof of the house. Here you’ll find a chest with the blueprint.

The blueprint chest can be found at the top of the house in Loneberg.

And here’s what you’ll need to build this blueprint:

Chicken Coop Improvement Requirements
Material	Where/How to Get
14 Ash Planks	Ash plank is made from cutting ash logs at the Sawmill. Ash logs are cut from ash trees found in: Sunspring Square (X: 151, Y: -109) Ambertown Park (X: 216, Y: -72)
12 Wool Fabrics	Made from wool thread at the upgraded Loom. Wool thread is made from Wool fiber, sheared from Sheep.
4 Zinc Ingots	Made from smelting zinc ore at the foundry. Zinc ore is mined from: South Point Docks (X: 157, Y: 22) Flotsam Shores (X: 109, Y: -107)
5 Bottled Ectoplasm	Bottled ectoplasm is acquired from the Bottled Ectoplasm mini-game where you catch night-shades. The event is triggered by interacting with Jacob the pet beetle, inside Stanley’s playroom.
450 Glims	Gathered from selling items, completing tasks, and playing event mini-games.
