Chicken Locations in Fortnite and How to Fly Them

As Fortnite Winterfest 2021 is in full swing, there are lots of exciting quests and challenges which fans and players have to undertake to win some awesome prizes. One of such tasks requires you to fly with a chicken. Unlike other birds, the chicken is considered graceful and unique, making it ideal for getting more air while trying to dodge from enemies’ snowball RPGs and bullets. Also, flying chickens offers a better opportunity to get multiple bonus XP.

While flying chickens sounds like a fun thing to do on Fortnite, it is important to note that the map of Fortnite Chapter 3 is really big, while chickens, on the other hand, are quite small, and it’ll take some time to find them on the map. Also, chickens are characteristically cowards, so don’t be surprised when they zoom away at the sight of cartoon cats wielding katanas. Bearing these in mind, we have compiled this guide to teach you about the best locations to find chickens easily on the map. This guide will also teach you how to fly these chickens on Fortnite and seamlessly complete the challenges.

Best Location to Find Chicken on Fortnite

If you look closely at the map above, you will find the area circled red between the Southwest grooves of Rocky Reels and Chonker’s Speedway. There’s a gas station and another building around the corner. You can’t mistake it! When you get to this location, you will definitely see a handful of chickens you can pursue around the area to complete the task. Just look closely for the chickens. You may need to stay off the road so you don’t scare them into hiding.

How to Fly Chickens in Fortnite

Finding the chickens is only an easy part of the task. The real tricky deal comes when you have to actually fly the chickens. Before you can fly with a chicken, you have to be ready to act like the chickens themselves. But this is quite impossible because chickens are incredibly faster than you and they will outrun you if you dare to match their pace. Hence, you have to find a way to capture the chicken using a trick.

To do this, you have to build a bunch of walls around the location where you found the chickens. The walls will trap them in, and even though they will still try to run, they won’t be able to escape the cage in which you have trapped them. This way, you can then grab one of them. To grab a chicken, press the “F” key or any other key you use for picking stuff up. Press this key once you see the prompt appear above the chicken. Be alert to see this prompt, because if the chicken is still running and wriggling around, the prompt may only linger for a second.

On picking up the chicken, it will be placed on your character’s head, and your next task would be to run and jump as fast as you can, until the chicken’s wings kick in and it starts to fly. While at this, the chicken’s itty-bitty wings will give you a subtle low-gravity jump effect that’ll make it easy for you to fly like a light-weight banana man.

The best approach to this task is to run towards a high or hilly area so that you will be able to fly for a longer time. To complete the task, you need to fly for up to 200 meters. A challenge card will pop up momentarily to show you your progress level. Happy playing, folks!
