NotesAdded in Update 3 (Aug 29, 2026). Lays one egg every 10 minutes: 98% Colossus Egg / 2% Trick Egg. The key to starting the Trick Egg route.

The gate to the Trick Egg route

Catalyst Hen is a Secret chicken that hatches from the Colossus Egg at under 1%. It is currently the only known starting source of Trick Eggs.

Once obtained, keep it in the Coop or Incubator: every 10 minutes it lays an egg with a 98% Colossus / 2% Trick Egg split. After your first Trick Egg, switch to Trick Egg chickens like Domino Chick (about 10% lay rate) for faster farming.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get the Catalyst Hen?

Hatch Colossus Eggs until it lands - under a 1% chance per egg, so stockpile Colossus Eggs before a hatching session.

Should I ever recycle the Catalyst Hen?

No - it is the only known starting source of Trick Eggs. Favorite it as soon as you pull it.
