Game time and chicken age

Time in this game follows Universal Chicken Time (also known as AEST / UTC+10). Check the server clock at the top to see what the current UCT is.

Most features of the game refresh at midnight. Midnight is when:

• Currency eggs are laid
• Nest eggs hatch
• Chickets are delivered (weekly on Sunday)
• Chickens go from fed to hungry
• Eggspedition steps and Where's the Chicken turns refresh

New chicks are added to the Pullet Pool at 1am and 1pm daily, provided the pool currently has fewer than (total number of users) ÷ 18 chickens.

Nests take at least two days to hatch. The hatch time of an egg is midnight at the start of the day, 3 days after the egg was laid.

From hatch time, chick take four days to become adults. They will only be able to have chicks as adults. Unlike other game features, the time when a chick becomes an adult chicken is exactly 4 days after hatching, rather than happening at midnight. However, the chick's egg cooldown ends 5 days after hatching, at the start of the day.

Eggs and seed respawn on the Eggspedition map at a rate of 1 every 5 minutes, while there are fewer than the per-map threshold. Read the Eggspedition page for more information.
