Egg Guide: Chains and Layers

Hatch Nest, Scratch, and Thunder from codes first. Then pick a line by cash, Tower, Ascension, or Trick / Catalyst, and keep the layers that open the next egg.

Eggs unlock the next pool of chickens, and those chickens lay the next egg. This page lists how to enter each line, which layers to keep, and step routes for common goals. Hatch and lay rates disagree across public tables, so farm-egg numbers stay out. Check pools on See the Index in Flock before you sell a route bird. Ascension Egg odds are in the pool table below.

Start with rewards from Codes, then use those layers in the beginner fuse loop. Haunt and Royal hens that donate combat specials are listed on Abilities.

Which egg first?

Open code eggs first, then pick a branch by goal. This is a starting order so you do not sell route layers early, not an S-D ranking.

  • First hour

    Hatch Nest, Scratch, and Thunder from Codes, then pick one branch below. Hatch Blazing only if you already have one.

  • Cash / early Pit layers

    Stay on Nest and Scratch until Cosmo and Scratch-pool birds are online.

  • Tower fighters off Thunder

    Push Thunder into Ordnance or Void once Static or Sergeant keeps Thunder laying.

  • Late Haunt chase

    Scratch → Arena → Haunt. Keep Creepy Clown and Zombie Chick.

  • Royal or Fortune

    Thunder → Founder, then choose the fork with Fertility Gene open.

  • Colossus

    Same Founder as the Royal / Fortune fork. Keep Founder; Colossus hatches do not lay this egg back.

  • Hot / special

    Blazing from the Hot event window, or from Codes if a Blazing reward is still active. Grudge and Growth are not farm targets right now.

  • Ascension Egg

    Rebirth milestones 10 / 100 / 250 (claim in Rebirth Milestones), or Arena Master V (1 egg) and Grandmaster I (3 eggs). Hatch the pool in Flock.

  • Trick Egg

    Colossus Secret hatch for Catalyst Hen, then farm its low Trick lay chance. Skip until Founder and Colossus are stable.

Ascension Egg pool

Ascension Eggs come from rebirth milestones (10 / 100 / 250) and Arena ranks Master V and Grandmaster I. No chicken lays this egg. Eclipse Hen is the rare chase at the bottom of the pool.

ChickenHatch chance
Skycrest Rooster55%
Halo Hen27%
Oracle Chick12%
Seraph Rooster5%
Eclipse Hen1%

Milestone and rank routes are on the beginner guide and Arena pages.

Farm routes

Follow the layer order. When a step lists two birds, either works as the bridge. Check Fertility Gene and See the Index on the bird before you fuse or sell.

  • Haunt farm

    Haunt line (late Haunt layers sit on this egg)

    1. Nest → Cosmo Brat → Scratch
    2. Scratch → Slugger Hen → Arena (Enforcer or Strike for steadier Arena lays)
    3. Arena → Creepy Clown → Haunt
    4. Haunt → Zombie Chick (and later Haunt layers) for the grind
  • Void farm

    Void line off Thunder

    1. Thunder from codes, Community, or Nest → Viking → Thunder
    2. Keep Static Chick if you need more Thunder

    Royal or Fortune after Founder

    1. Thunder path (or Crest from Scratch) toward Founder Rooster
    2. Founder can split Royal and Fortune. Read Fertility Gene before you fuse
    3. Royal: push Rooster of Fortune for steadier Royal lays
    4. Fortune: push Baron Cluck for steadier Fortune lays

    Colossus after Founder is online

    1. Open Thunder from codes, Community, or Nest → Viking
    2. Keep Static Chick if you still need Thunder eggs
    3. Hatch toward Founder Rooster
    4. Park Founder and let it lay. Colossus is not every cycle
    5. Colossus hatches do not continue this egg. Keep Founder if you want more
    6. If Chicken Boss is in the Pit, treat a listed Colossus reward as a bonus, not the farm
  • Charm → Bloom

    Bloom after Charm

    1. Nest → Cosmo → Scratch
    2. Scratch → Bow Chick → Charm
    3. Charm → Plush or Cupcake for steadier Charm lays
    4. Charm → Ballerina Hen → Bloom
    5. Bloom → Cauldron Hen when you need steadier Bloom lays
  • Cursed line

    Cursed off Scratch

    1. Nest → Cosmo → Scratch
    2. Scratch → NPC Chick → Cursed
    3. Cursed → Stone Face Chicken (and Stonks) for the grind
  • Circuit and Diner

    Scratch side branches

    1. Scratch → Taser Hen → Circuit → Drone Hen
    2. Scratch → Pizza Rooster → Diner → Chef Rooster
  • Fang

    Fang from Arena or Royal

    1. Reach Arena or Royal first
    2. Spider Chicken → Fang
    3. Fang → Snapper Rooster for steadier Fang lays
  • Ascension (milestones)

    Ascension Eggs from rebirth totals or Arena ranks

    1. Rebirth until your lifetime total hits 10, then 100, then 250, open Rebirth Milestones and claim each Ascension Egg tier
    2. Or climb Arena Trophies to Master V (~2,200) for one Ascension Egg, or Grandmaster I (top 1%) for three
    3. Hatch Ascension Eggs in Flock; pool birds and odds are in the Ascension pool table on this page
    4. No chicken lays Ascension eggs, there is no daily lay farm for this pool
  • Trick from Catalyst

    Trick Eggs after Colossus is online

    1. Keep Founder Rooster laying Colossus on the Thunder fork
    2. Hatch Colossus until Catalyst Hen appears (Secret, very low Index chance)
    3. Deploy Catalyst in Coop or Incubator; most lays stay Colossus, with a low Trick chance on the Index
    4. Hatch Trick Eggs, then read each bird's Lays panel before you sell; keep any that continue Trick

Layers worth keeping

These birds open the next egg. Shelf them only after a stronger layer on the same line is online.

Branch map

Quick overview. Use Farm routes above for the full layer order.

  • Scratch tree: Nest → Cosmo → Scratch, then Charm/Bloom, Circuit, Diner, Cursed, or Arena → Haunt/Fang.
  • Thunder tree: Codes, Community, or Viking → Thunder, then Ordnance, Void, Founder (Royal / Fortune), or Colossus off Founder.
  • Blazing: Hot event timer, or a Blazing reward on Codes while that string is still active. Not a daily lay chain.
  • Ascension: Rebirth milestones (10 / 100 / 250) and Arena ranks Master V / Grandmaster I. Hatch from the Ascension pool, not a lay farm.
  • Trick: Colossus → rare Catalyst Hen → low-chance Trick lays. Keep any Trick hatch whose Lays panel continues the egg.

Fertility Gene and multi-egg layers

Open Flock and hover Fertility Gene to see which egg types a chicken can lay. Fusion can expand that set so one bird covers more than one line. Lock the egg trait you care about, then check the fuse preview before you confirm. Bridge birds like Farmer, Viking, and Founder often sit on two egg types at once.

FAQ

Which egg should I open first?

Hatch code eggs first (Nest, Scratch, Thunder). Hatch Blazing only if you already have one. Then pick a branch by goal: cash layers, Tower fighters, Haunt, Void, Ascension milestones, or a named fork.

How do I get Haunt eggs?

Scratch → Slugger → Arena, hatch Creepy Clown for Haunt, then Zombie Chick for steadier Haunt lays. Keep Arena layers until that bridge is secure.

How do I get Void or Ordnance?

Both sit on Thunder. Astro Chick opens Void; Commando Rooster opens Ordnance. Probe and Ronin are the steadier lay birds once you are on those eggs.

How do I get Colossus eggs?

Founder Rooster on the Thunder fork can lay them. Call the pool Colossus and match the label on See the Index. Hatches from the pool do not lay the egg back, so you keep farming Founder. If Chicken Boss is running in the Pit, check the reward panel; do not count on it as the farm.

How do I get Ascension Eggs?

Rebirth milestones at 10, 100, and 250: claim each from Rebirth Milestones in the rebirth menu. Arena Master V (~2,200 trophies) grants one Ascension Egg; Grandmaster I (top 1%) grants three. Hatch the Ascension pool in Flock. No chicken lays this egg.

How do I get Trick Eggs?

Hatch Catalyst Hen from Colossus Eggs (Secret, very low Index chance), deploy it, and wait for Trick lays. Most Catalyst cycles still drop Colossus. After you hatch Trick, keep any bird whose Lays panel continues Trick.

Is a Royal Egg from codes the same as Trick?

No. Code Royal Eggs hatch the Thunder Royal line. Trick is a separate late Colossus chase through Catalyst Hen.

Why are there no drop percentages on farm eggs?

Lay and hatch rates on route eggs disagree across public tables. Use farm routes, key layer names, and See the Index. Ascension Egg odds are listed in the pool table on this page.

What is Fertility Gene?

A Flock hover that shows which egg types a chicken can lay. Fusion can expand that set so one bird covers more than one egg line.

Do chickens lay eggs offline?

Yes. Birds keep producing while you are away. Pick eggs up when you return, then hatch or sell based on the route you are farming.

Is Grudge or Growth available?

Grudge is unobtainable for now. Growth is often missing from See the Index. Do not plan a long farm around either until Index shows a path.

How do I farm a specific egg later?

Keep the key layer for that egg, Lock the egg trait when you fuse, and read Fertility Gene before you sell. Farm routes above list the usual entry birds.
