How to Get the Monarch Hen
What this page helps you decide: which egg to hatch for the Monarch Hen, and how many hatches to budget before it shows up
The Monarch Hen is a Epic chicken, tier 4 of 10 on the rarity ladder that appears in the drop data. One egg can hatch it, and the best published rate is 14% from the Bloom Egg — about 7 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 Epic chickens, and what we found when we checked the published percentages.
Only one way in
Nothing else in the current drop data produces the Monarch Hen. That makes the Bloom Egg a single gate: at 14% you should expect around 7 hatches before it appears, and farming any other egg does not shorten that number. The Bloom Egg itself is laid by the Ballerina Hen, 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 Bloom Egg
The Bloom Egg can hatch 10 different chickens. The Monarch Hen is the 2nd most likely of them, with 6 outcomes sitting below it on the table. At that position it turns up often enough that a dedicated farm is usually wasted effort — it arrives while you are chasing the rarer drops in the same egg.
Against the other Epic chickens
There are 29 Epic chickens in the current drop data. Ranked by best available rate, 0 of them are easier to obtain than the Monarch Hen and 28 are harder. Nothing at this rarity comes easier, so if you want a Epic at all, this is where to start.
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 Bloom Egg table is one of those, summing to 102 percent, so treat 14% as a rounded figure rather than an exact one. 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 Ballerina Hen on your plot — it lays the Bloom Egg, which is the source you can actually control.
- Hatch it repeatedly and budget around 7 hatches at the published 14%.
- Do not spend sessions on other eggs hoping for it; nothing else in the data drops the Monarch Hen.
- Treat it as a by-product: farm the Bloom Egg for its rarer outcomes and this one will arrive on the way.
