Chicken Festival

The **Chicken Festival** takes place on the 18th of Spring. You attend the festival by entering the Festival Preparation Area between 10am and 18pm. When the festival ends, you will be returned to your farm at 18pm.

The featured attraction of the Chicken Festival is the Chicken Race. In order to participate in the race you need to bring a chicken to the festival area. The race starts by talking to Benjamin. If your chicken's speed and/or luck stats are high enough, you have a chance to win the race. There is no possibility to influence your chicken's performance during the race scene.

The festival ends after Benjamin announces the winner. If you win the first, second or third place you will recive the according rewards the next day within your mailbox.

In the first year, Stella will sell a rooster for 5,000g. If you don't buy it at the festival, Lucas will do. Later on he offers you to buy the rooster for 2,500g.

## Chicken Race

### Speed and Luck

Chickens vary in speed and luck stats. The chance for winning the Chicken Race will be mainly influenced by those traits.

Traits can be improved by means of breeding (refer to the main chicken page, "Breeding Chickens"). The stats can be examined in the diary or can be assesed by Benjamin (refer to the main chicken page, "Breeding Chickens > Trait Evaluation").

### List of all Competitors and their Chicken's Stats

The chickens of the competing villagers will have the following base stats.

 Devin's chicken (green)
 Raphael's chicken (greenish brown)
 Mia's chicken (reddish brown)

## Festival Rewards

If you win the first, second or third place you will receive the according rewards the next day within your mailbox.

## Stella's Shop (1st Year Only!)

In the first year Stella will sell a rooster at the Chicken Festival. There are 8 color variations of roosters from which one variation will be randomly chosen the moment you enter the Festival Preparation Area. This means you can only obtain the rooster which is determined at the start of the festival. If you want a special color you may save before entering the festival in order to reload until you got the desired color. The color has no effect on its breeding characteristics.

### Lucas Quest

If you don't have the money to buy it right away you get the chance to buy it from Lucas some time after the festival. Not buying the rooster will trigger Lucas' quest "Feeding Lucas' Rooster" wherein he asks for 7 bird feed. If you fulfill the quest, Lucas will state later on that he is overchallenged with his rooster and asks if you want to buy it for the reduced price of 2,500g.
