Best Incubator Chickens in Grow a Chicken Fighter
Rank the best chickens for the Incubator in Grow a Chicken Fighter by the eggs they produce, from pure Fortune Egg farming to Cursed, Haunt and Void chains.
What Incubator choice means
The Incubator is not just for storing spare chickens: what you place there decides which eggs keep flowing into your farm. The best Incubator chicken depends on the egg type it produces and how valuable that egg hatch pool is.
This ranking focuses on the most valuable egg types (Fortune, Cursed, Haunt, Void, Royal) and is based on community tier data (Roonby, Aug 2026). Exact drop percentages should be verified in-game.
1. Baron Cluck / Golden Goose - best for Fortune Eggs
Baron Cluck and Golden Goose both produce Fortune Eggs 100% of the time, with no Royal, Arena or Fang eggs mixed in.
The Fortune Egg pool is one of the most valuable: Founder Rooster ~56%, Baron Cluck ~43%, Golden Goose ~1% Secret. That means every Fortune Egg can return a strong chicken or another producer, making it a self-sustaining loop.
2. Founder Rooster - balanced Royal / Fortune
Founder Rooster splits production 50% Royal and 50% Fortune. Royal Eggs unlock strong units like Baron Cluck, Phoenix Hen and Radiant Fenghuang, while Fortune Eggs keep the valuable economy loop alive.
It is not the fastest pure Fortune producer, but it is the best all-around option when you want both branches.
3. Fortune hybrid producers
These chickens mix Fortune Eggs with another type, so they are below pure producers:
- Viper Hen - 60% Fortune / 40% Fang
- Blitz Rooster - 55% Fortune / 45% Arena
- Bravo Rooster - 50% Fortune / 50% Fang
- Agent Cluck - 45% Fortune / 55% Arena
4. 404 Chick - Cursed Egg engine
404 Chick produces Cursed Eggs 100% of the time. The Cursed pool can hatch 404 Chick (Secret, below 1%), Imposter Chick (~2% Mythic) and Deep Fried Hen.
Because 404 Chick is the producer, the Cursed chain can feed itself, which makes it the best choice if you are chasing the Secret hatch or building the Cycle of Ash line.
5-6. Haunt and Void producers
Haunt Egg producers (Zombie Chick, Bone Rooster, Jack Rooster, Wrapped Hen, Vampire Rooster, Shadow Rooster, Ghost Hen, Doll Hen, Reaper Rooster) lay Haunt Eggs 100% of the time. The Haunt pool can return Reaper Rooster at Cosmic rarity (below 1%) and strong mythic/divine units.
Void Egg producers (Pro Rooster, Moonwalk Hen, Solar Rooster, Little Green Chick, Comet Rooster, Orbital Hen, Singularity Hen, Void Rooster, Nebula Hen) lay Void Eggs 100%. Void Eggs are the main route to Nebula Hen and the broader Void win condition, with Astro Chick ~5%, Void Rooster ~3% and Nebula Hen ~1% Cosmic.
7-9. Royal, Thunder and Circuit producers
Royal Egg producers (Rooster of Fortune, Tengu Rooster, Basilisk Rooster, Valkyrie Hen, Cockatrice, Jackal Rooster, Phoenix Hen, Twin Rooster, Nine-tail Hen, Radiant Fenghuang) give good access to higher rarities, including Radiant Fenghuang ~1% Celestial and Nine-tail Hen ~2% Divine.
Thunder Egg producers (Sergeant Hen, Static Chick, Frostbite Hen, Quake Rooster, Tsunami Hen, Thunderclap, Magma Rooster, Sandstorm Rooster, Twister Hen, Aurora Hen, Prism Rooster) feed general progression, with Prism Rooster at Celestial (below 1%) and Aurora Hen ~1% Divine.
Circuit Egg producers (Drone Hen, Nano Rooster, Laser Rooster, Magnet Hen, Mecha Rooster, Hacker Hen, Overclock Rooster) lay Circuit Eggs 100% of the time and are the best route to Overclock Rooster (~3% Celestial).
10. Ballerina Hen - Bloom / Charm hybrid
Ballerina Hen has a 70% chance to produce Bloom Eggs and a 30% chance to produce Charm Eggs. Bloom Eggs can hatch Legendary, Divine and even Celestial chickens, but the rarest hatch is below 1%.
Use it when you specifically want the Bloom pool; otherwise pure producers rank higher.
