The golden chickens have appeared in Fortnite with the new Midas patch. They work like the usual chickens in Fortnite, but with a few extra bonuses.

Golden Chickens In Fortnite: Where To Find Them

Golden Chickens are in pretty similar areas as the old chickens. You can find them very easily in the following areas:

  • Large meadows and big grass areas
  • Farm areas, especially around Fencing Fields
  • The Olympus-Biome

Easy-peasy!

Golden Chickens In Fortnite: What They Do

Golden chickens can be used for temporary flying like ordinary chickens. However, eliminating a golden chicken no longer gets you meat. Instead, golden chickens do the follow things:

  • They drop about 12 Gold when eliminated
  • Sometimes they lay golden eggs, which give you 350 Gold.

With the gold, you can buy new weapons at vending machines, hire NPCs, accept briefings, or try out the new service station on the Marigold Yacht.

We wish you a lot of fun hunting chickens and spending gold in Fortnite!
