STEAL A CHICKEN / tier list
Steal a Chicken Tier List Status & Selection Guide
Choose chickens by the eggs you can collect and sell, your free pen capacity, and whether you can complete the steal. No comparable named-chicken ranking is verified.
Choose by what your pen earns
There is no verified, comparable named-chicken data table in the collected sources. This page therefore gives a selection method, without assigning invented S/A/B ranks to promotional artwork.
Your first chicken
Start with a chicken you can successfully bring back. Your chickens produce eggs, while an empty pen has no chicken to produce them. Treat a safe completed trip as the first useful upgrade.
Compare before replacing
Observe the eggs from your current chicken and the money you receive at the Merchant. Compare another chicken under the same conditions. Do not infer income from size, color, thumbnail text or a guessed rarity name.
Protect your capacity
A larger pen holds more chickens. Check space before a trip and keep egg production going while you compare options. A prospective upgrade only helps after you can keep it in your pen.
Chicken replacement order
Use this order as a practical decision method, not an in-game tier score: fill useful empty space, observe your current income, then replace only when a candidate shows a benefit you can actually keep.
QUICK ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
What is the best chicken?
The collected evidence does not support a named winner. Compare observed egg returns, available space and successful return trips.
Are bigger chickens always better?
No size-to-income rule is verified by the sources used here.
Should I empty my pen before upgrading?
Avoid assuming that a future steal is guaranteed. Check capacity and compare observed results before changing a productive setup.
