CS2 chicken records · all 100,000 seeds
01Height
Best of seeds 1–100,000, the range CS2 uses for charm templates. We think pets use the same range, but nobody has seen a real pet seed yet. If they use a different one, the #1 seeds can change, but a bird's percentages ("taller than 90%") stay true.
Seed 69455 sits within 3.4 percentile points of the middle on height, legs, tail, build and head. It stands in every row for scale.
Rendered in our 3D viewer. Real hens hatch around mid-November, and we'll compare them then.
19900 doesn't max one dial, it stacks two: legs longer than 99.8% of hens and a neck longer than 98.7%. 17893 has almost no neck and almost no legs.
Top 10 and more ›Same seed, same record on Catalana, Polish and Silkie.
Measured from the ground to the head joint, just below the eye, with the hen standing still. Combs and crests don't count. (With the comb, the tallest Catalana is 48771.)
02Crest
Best of seeds 1–100,000, the range CS2 uses for charm templates. We think pets use the same range, but nobody has seen a real pet seed yet. If they use a different one, the #1 seeds can change, but a bird's percentages ("taller than 90%") stay true.
Seed 69455 sits within 3.4 percentile points of the middle on height, legs, tail, build and head. It stands in every row for scale.
Every breed rolls a head size, but only the Polish turns it into a hairdo. 88331's crest covers almost twice the area of the Median Hen's. The smallest-crest bird is also one of the tallest, which is why this row is a close-up.

Seed 69455 sits within 3.4 percentile points of the middle on height, legs, tail, build and head. It stands in every row for scale.
The roll that sets tail length also tints the feathers, so long tails come a touch yellower. It's also why every Silkie Orange that comes out almost fully blue has a huge tail.

12488 is 20% wider than the Median Hen. Bonus quirk: skinny hens turn up twice as often as chance says they should (6,190 vs 3,125).

37339's hips sit 2.0Â in higher than the Median Hen's, but its short neck (shorter than 95% of hens) keeps its head only 0.2Â in higher. On a Catalana, long legs also come with a darker face marking and leg color.

Seed 69455 sits within 3.4 percentile points of the middle on height, legs, tail, build and head. It stands in every row for scale.
18712 is the furthest from average of all 100,000: very long neck, fan tail, short legs, tiny head. On Polish and Silkie the weirdest is 64929: fat, stubby tail, short legs.
Bars show where each bird sits among 100,000 seeds (the tick is the middle). Gold means top 10%, blue means bottom 10%.
Before you check your coop
CS2 doesn't show your pet's seed (yet).
Valve rolls your chicken's seed.

Checked across all 100,000 seeds
Wanted
Short legs and a short tail (both bottom 1%): seen in 0 of 100,000 seeds, where chance says about 10. The two just never land low together.
Closest miss: #37650, with a tail in the bottom 1.4% and legs in the bottom 1.8%.
See the closest miss in 3D ›0.07–0.29tail roll of every blue Polish Pink
On a Polish Pink, tail length and color go together, so blue and long never happen at once.
0 of 100,000with all 7 body dials in the top 10%
No hen has legs, neck, tail, build, head and both wing rolls all in the top 10% at once.
2×6,190 skinny hens where 3,125 were expected
The skinniest builds turn up about twice as often as chance says they should.
See the Build row ›Rare colors
Two kinds of rare: colors that may not drop at all, and rare looks inside an ordinary color.
The game files give these 13 colors no drop weight. They might never drop, or they might be a rare tier. Nobody knows yet.
Catalana BlueMay not drop
Catalana GreyMay not drop
Catalana BlackMay not drop
Polish BlueMay not drop
Polish Green with Red HeadMay not drop

Polish Blue and YellowMay not drop

Silkie Blue with Red BeardMay not drop
Silkie Red BeetleMay not drop
Silkie PurpleMay not drop
Silkie Aqua with YellowMay not dropSame color, different seed. Some seeds give a look that most birds of that color never get.
Most Silkie Oranges come out red, orange or golden. A few come out almost fully blue, at least 90% of the feathers, and every one of them has a huge tail.
About 1 in 54 Silkie Oranges
About 1 in 5 Silkie Leopards rolls no spots at all.
About 1 in 5 Silkie Leopards
Catalana Dark Orange is almost always orange. About 1 in 1,493 comes out blue-violet instead.
About 1 in 1,493 Catalana Dark Oranges
The seed picks one of four plumages, each about as common as the others. Only about 1 in 4 Silkie Whites actually looks white.
Odds are within the color. How often a color drops isn't known.

Every CS2 pet chicken has a hidden seed that sets its body: legs, neck, tail, build and head size. We measured all 100,000 seeds. The tallest hen is seed 19900 (15.3Â in to the head), 66% taller than the shortest, 17893 (9.2Â in). The biggest crest is 88331, the longest tail 9367, the fattest 12488 and the slimmest 60585. A seed gives the same body on every breed.
Every seed on this page opens in the 3D viewer, from egg to hen.
