One user has spotted an adorable glitch inStardew Valleythat caused their chicken to change color as they rested for the night.Stardew Valleyis 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.
Redditorhobithebabieshared a short video of the glitch in a post titled “meet my color changing chicken.” The video shows asleeping 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.

Seeing the color-changing chicken makes me wish that I could get a variety of different colored chickens inStardew Valley. While some mods accomplish this, I can even imagine creating my own chicken designs. Pink and blue polka-dot chickens, anyone?
