How to Get the Impostor Chick
What this page helps you decide: which egg to hatch for the Impostor Chick, and how many hatches to budget before it shows up
The Impostor Chick is a Mythic chicken, tier 6 of 10 on the rarity ladder that appears in the drop data. One egg can hatch it, and the best published rate is 2% from the Cursed Egg — about 50 hatches before you should expect to see one. Below: every route in with the expected hatches worked out, where it sits among the 10 outcomes of that egg, how it compares with the other Mythic chickens, and what we found when we checked the published percentages.
Only one way in
Nothing else in the current drop data produces the Impostor Chick. That makes the Cursed Egg a single gate: at 2% you should expect around 50 hatches before it appears, and farming any other egg does not shorten that number. The Cursed Egg itself is laid by the NPC Chick, so one of those on the plot is the entire supply chain — there is no second source to fall back on if you stop keeping it.
Where it sits inside the Cursed Egg
The Cursed Egg can hatch 10 different chickens. The Impostor Chick is the 9th most likely of them, with 1 outcome sitting below it on the table. At that position it is one of the outcomes you are genuinely farming for, not something that shows up on the way to something else. Plan the session around it rather than expecting it as a side effect.
Against the other Mythic chickens
There are 11 Mythic chickens in the current drop data. Ranked by best available rate, 8 of them are easier to obtain than the Impostor Chick and 2 are harder. Rarity labels are not difficulty labels: two chickens carrying the same tag can sit an order of magnitude apart in expected hatches.
What the published table does not say
These rates come from a single community index rather than the game files, so we checked the arithmetic before using them. 9 of the 17 egg tables do not add up to 100 percent — across the set they run from 91 to 102 percent. The Cursed Egg table does add up, which is a small point in its favour. Rounded rates are good enough for deciding which egg to farm. They are not good enough for predicting any single hatch, and anywhere a rate is written as "under 1%" the true value could be several times smaller than the estimate above.
Step-by-Step
- Keep a NPC Chick on your plot — it lays the Cursed Egg, which is the source you can actually control.
- Hatch it repeatedly and budget around 50 hatches at the published 2%.
- Do not spend sessions on other eggs hoping for it; nothing else in the data drops the Impostor Chick.
- Treat it as the target of the session; at 9th of 10 it will not appear as a side effect.
