The chickens and ducks inStadrew Valleyare much more loyal than fans had realized. There are a lot of tasks to keep track of in the game, so it can be easy to get side-tracked and neglect certain gameplay elements. Luckily, many of the daily activities on the farm continue even in the farmers absence.
One player found out just how reliable their chickens are, in particular, when they returned from pressing tasks elsewhere. The player, who goes byMysterious_North6806on Reddit, says they forgot to collect eggs from their barn when they got distracted for a few in-game days with farm renovations andexploring Ginger Islandfor the first time. Returning to the barn, they found thatthe chickens and other barn animals had gone right on providing goods to sell even while they were gone.

The image shared on Reddit shows anentire barn full of neatly placed eggs, feathers, and other animal by-products.Selling all these items in one go earned them 18,452 Gold justfrom the farming category, most of which was earned from different types of eggs. The entire experience made Mysterious_North6806 “realize how much money my chickens give me! Lets me grateful for them.”
Have you tried stealing anything in Stardew Valley yet?
Stardew Valley players have recently discovered that since the 1.6 update, it’s possible to steal items from characters around the valley. I wasn’t aware of this until I saw a post on Reddit, and I was surprised that I didn’t notice this before. So far, I’ve enjoyed taking Pam’s sign from the bus stop, the pumpkin from Robin’s house, and the lanterns from the graveyard. However, I’m interested to hear if there are any other items that can be taken that I haven’t realized yet.
Different types of chickens producedifferent types of eggsinStardew Valley,but even the most basic type of egg is worth 50 Gold per egg.Turning eggs into mayonnaise makes them worth nearly four times more,at 190 gold per jar of mayo. Some community members took to the Reddit post’s comments to discuss the merits of mayo and encourage others to always turn their eggs into mayo for maximum profit. As RedditorMeepx13put it: “You just sold the eggs? Mayo! You could have doubled your profits!”

Chickens And Other Farm Animals Are Worth Investing In
Many players immediately go for the farming aspect ofStardew Valleysince it’s easy to get started with planting seeds on day one.

However, animals are very much worth the time and effort it takes to set them up. Barn animals inStardew Valleycan really help bolster players' daily gold intake with nearly no work. All players need to do is give their animals a few pets and some hay, and they give us free income every day.
