The chicken coop is an important building in any Stardew Valley farm. Here are the ways to obtain, upgrade and maximize its potential profits.
Every farm needs chickens, especially in Stardew Valley. Chicken coops are cheaper than barns, and players will definitely hope that eggs can make money and be used for cooking. The Stardew Valley chicken coop can not only raise chickens, but also ducks, rabbits, and even dinosaurs, depending on the player's level of upgrade to the chicken house.

Because it is cheaper than a barn and is a way of raising animals, the chicken coop is the first farm building where you can save money. Once built, there are many ways to get your chicken out of trouble completely. With this money, players can upgrade the cooperative and make more money in a good profit circle.
On September 23, 2021, Alison Stalberg updated: The chicken coop in Stardew Valley has more to make people shine. The first job is to build the chicken coop, then upgrade it, and then profit from it through gifts and sales. However, there is also the question of how to obtain animals for the chicken coop. Chickens are one thing, but how do you get Void Chickens and Dinosaurs? Obtaining a fully upgraded cooperative requires a lot of resources, so it’s best to understand these resources and start collecting them as early as possible.
The chicken coop and its upgrades can be purchased at Robin's Carpenter's Shop. This shop is located in the northern part of Pelican Town and is usually open from 9 am to 5 pm. Buying a chicken coop requires 4000 gold coins, 300 lumber and 100 stones. In the early game, you can collect this wood by hitting wood and branches with an axe. You can collect stones by mining with a pickaxe.

The first chicken house obtained by the player can only accommodate four chickens. But don't worry, they can get an upgraded chicken coop later.
The next thing to do is to buy four chickens. Chickens can be purchased at Marnie's Ranch for 800 gold coins each. They need care, so be sure to stock up hay and/or give them an outdoor area where they can eat grass (although no grass will be provided in winter). Hay can be purchased from Marnie or harvested with a scythe on the grass (the player needs to build a silo to harvest the hay).

Each chicken produces a brown or white egg every morning. They sell for 50 gold coins each. Be sure to pet the chicks to enhance their friendship, because this will eventually allow them to lay large eggs. The price of each egg has almost doubled, 95 gold coins.
If you can, buy a mayonnaise machine. With this, players can turn eggs into mayonnaise and sell them for 190 gold-almost four times the coins that ordinary old eggs can get. As for cooking, it is best to sell the eggs directly or as mayonnaise instead of selling them as meals. Cooking a meal actually makes less money than selling the raw materials of a meal. For example, an omelette requires 125 gold coins, milk and eggs are needed, but milk alone can be sold for 125 gold coins.
After selling enough eggs and mayonnaise, players should eventually have enough gold coins to start upgrading the chicken coop. This is desirable because farmers can not only own ducks, rabbits, and more animals, but they can also have an incubator to incubate their own animals with eggs.

Big Coop will unlock ducks and dinosaurs (cannot be purchased, only hatched with dinosaur eggs), allowing players to hold eight animals and have an incubator. Deluxe Coop will unlock rabbits, be equipped with an automatic feeding system, and provide space for 12 animals
As the chicken coop is upgraded, in addition to chickens, you can also freely obtain new animals. Some are purchased, while others come from less obvious methods.
The Void Chicken is a black chicken that produces Void Eggs. They can only be obtained by hatching the Void Egg. There are three ways to get the Void Egg without the Void Chicken:
Once the chicken house is upgraded, the ducks are easy to obtain. After the upgrade, they can be purchased on Marnie's ranch for 4,000 gold coins.
Rabbits especially need to upgrade their luxury chicken coops. After the upgrade is complete, they can be purchased at Marnie's Ranch for 8,000 gold coins.
Like the Void Chicken, dinosaurs need to be obtained by hatching dinosaur eggs. It is both an artificial product and an animal product. Eggs can be obtained by digging artifact points in the mountains, fishing treasure chests, foraging on the prehistoric floor of the Skeleton Cavern, winning cranes in the movie theater, or falling from Pepper T-Rex. Once dropped, just hatch, and then the dinosaur will hatch.
In order to maximize profits in the co-op, players need to master the Tiller farming skills at level 5. After reaching level 10, select the craftsman skill. This skill will increase the selling price of all artisan goods (such as the mayonnaise you make from eggs) by 40%.
Assuming that you have maximized all the emotions of the animals in the chicken coop and have the privileges of craftsmen, the following are the profits that each animal can bring to the farmer:
According to this information, the chicken is the best animal for profit in the chicken coop. Although other products sell for higher prices, they are not produced daily like chicken. With all of this in mind, the most profitable chicken coop is a chicken with artisan farmers.
Some characters like products from animals in chicken coops. Here are some to remember.
