Grow a Chicken Fighter Royal Egg: How to Get It

The Royal Egg holds three of the five skills that creator tier lists agree are the best in the game. Here is who lays it, the full pool with rarities, and the fastest way to keep them coming.

Quick answer: how to get a Royal Egg

  • Hatch Scratch Eggs for a Crest Rooster (5%). Fan indexes list it laying Royal Eggs about 60% of the time and Thunder Eggs 40%. (A 5% figure you may hear in videos matches its Scratch-Egg hatch odds, not its lay rate.)
  • Open the first Royal Egg. Rooster of Fortune (15%) lays Royal Eggs 100% and is the farm chicken players recommend.
  • Founder Rooster splits 50/50 between Royal and Fortune, and every Royal-only chicken (Basilisk, Valkyrie, Tengu, Cockatrice, Jackal, Phoenix, Twin, Nine-Tail, Radiant Fenghuang) is listed as laying Royal 100%.

No code gives a Royal Egg and we found no shop price.

What rarity can you get from a Royal Egg? Rare at the bottom, Celestial at the top, with Epic, Legendary, Mythic and Divine in between. It is the widest spread of any regular egg. See the rarity list.

What to hatch it for

Three of the top five skills live here:

  • Radiant Fenghuang (Celestial, 1%) carries Cycle of Ash: a large ring on the ground that speeds up, buffs and heals chickens inside it. Fused onto a 404 Chick it is one of the two S-tier builds players run. See 404 Chick.
  • Phoenix Hen (Mythic, 3%) carries Rebirth, ranked third on the community list and the main skill of at least one high-rebirth creator.
  • Valkyrie Hen (Epic, 9%) carries Ride of the Fallen, a heal-plus-speed skill. Creators call it “the best starter” and say it carries a new player to roughly tower floor 20, though one notes it falls off later.

Also in the pool: Baron Cluck (6%) lays Fortune Eggs 100%, Founder Rooster (6%) is the only reported Colossal Egg layer, and Nine-Tail Hen (Divine, 2%) is a strong body. Compare the skills on the skills page.

Fastest farm route

  1. Nest Egg → Cosmo Brat (10%) → Scratch Eggs 100%.
  2. Scratch Egg → Crest Rooster (5%). Be patient; this is the slow step.
  3. Crest Rooster → Royal Eggs ~60%. Open them.
  4. Hatch Rooster of Fortune (15%) and let it lay Royal 100%. Put it in the Incubator if you have one.
  5. Keep opening until Valkyrie, Phoenix or Radiant Fenghuang appears, then fuse the skill onto your main chicken with the skill locked.

Shortcut: the Blazing Egg lists Radiant Fenghuang at 2% and Nine-Tail Hen at 3%, but it only comes from winning the Hot Egg event.

Common questions

How rare is Radiant Fenghuang? 1% from a Royal Egg, and footage of one player’s run shows a Fenghuang with about 2.8 million HP, so the grind pays off.

Is Crest Rooster the only way in? From a fresh save, yes; Crest is the one Scratch-Egg chicken that lays Royal. Once you own Rooster of Fortune or Founder Rooster you never need it again.

Should I keep Valkyrie Hen? As a starter, yes. Long term, fuse Cycle of Ash or Rebirth onto a Secret or Cosmic body instead; see the Fortune Egg page for the Founder line.
