In Minecraft, you can breed chickens and make cute baby chicks. Let's explore how to breed chickens.

Once you have the required materials, you will need to find two chickens to breed.

Your chickens will need to be close together when breeding, so we have built a fence to keep our two chickens from running away.

### 2. Use the Seeds

Next, with the seeds selected in your hot bar, you will need to feed the seeds to each of the chickens, one at a time.

The game control to use/feed the seeds to the chickens depends on the version of Minecraft:

* For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the chickens one at a time.
* For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.

As you feed the seeds to the chickens, you will see red hearts appear over their heads. Each of these chickens is entering love mode.

Once you have fed both chickens, they will turn to each other and red hearts will continue to appear over their heads.

After a moment, the red hearts will disappear and a cute baby chick will be standing there.

Now you will have two adult chickens and one baby chicken.

Let's explain further what we mean by compatible colors when breeding sheep in Minecraft.
