Adorable Stardew Valley Glitch Creates Color-Changing Chickens

One user has spotted an adorable glitch in that caused his chicken to change color as they rested for the night. is a cozy farming sim where, in addition to farming and forming relationships with other villagers, players can keep animals. Among the different livestock choices are chickens, and though they are already cute, they are made even more charming by this harmless glitch.

Redditor hobithebabie shared a short video of the glitch in a post titled "" The video shows a sleeping white chicken briefly changing colors mid-snooze. For a moment while a few «ZZZs» appear over its head, the chicken changes from white to brown. In reality, there are two chickens in the video, stacked right on top of one another.

Due to their choice of sleeping placement, when the brown chicken displays its sleeping animation, its image displays on top of the white one, making it seem like a single chicken magically changes colors. Since it only changes colors when the «ZZZ» speech bubble appears, it seems as though the little chicken's color changes every time it snores, making this glitch even cuter.

Fans were delighted by the magical chicken. Responses range from pointing outhow adorable the chickens are for snuggling in the same spot to requests that hobithebabie kindly stop deep-frying their chicken.

As cute as it looks, this little glitch can become useful for those looking to build relationships with their feathery friends. Redditor 12dozencats points out that this sometimes happens with multiple animals stacked on top of one another in their coop. This makes it possible to greet all the animals in one go and can be a time-saver for farmers with several animals to pet as they begin their day.

Regardless of how players feel about chickens in real life, the accidental color-changing chicken in would melt any heart. This is a rare case of a glitch that players wouldn't necessarily want to be patched out of the game.

A heartfelt thank you letter from a player to Stardew Valley
