Grow a Chicken Fighter Every ranked chicken
How to hatch each bird, what job it fills, and when to stop feeding it.
This page ranks Grow a Chicken Fighter chickens for September 2026 after Promotions & Charms. It is not a rarity chart. Early-August lists that put Astro Chick as the only S-tier carry are outdated: Eclipse Hen, Ace Rooster, and Angel Chicken now own Tower, PIT, and Arena. Carry fights, donor gives the lock, layer feeds eggs. A bird can be A as a donor and D as a fighter — that is the point of fusion. Criteria live on the tier list hub.
S+ — current meta carries
Eclipse Hen — Ascension Egg, 1%. Best overall for Tower, PIT events, and Arena. Native Black Sun Cataclysm hits about 1040% with knockback. Do not overwrite it. The egg comes from Rebirth milestones and Arena ranks, not a 100% layer. First copy is the account carry.
Ace Rooster — Trick Egg, under 1%. Highest base attack, huge Promotions / Inverted Mutation scaling, weak native skill. Wants Black Sun Cataclysm or Reaction Ring. Trick Eggs come from Catalyst Hen (2% Trick after a Colossus hatch). Protect the first Ace.
Angel Chicken — Blessed Egg, 1% (Admin Abuse is the usual first egg). Strongest Cosmic hen, heal that matters in Arena. Add Black Sun Cataclysm or Reaction Ring for Tower and PIT; keep the heal for trophies.
S — still excellent, no longer the ceiling
Reaper Rooster — Haunt Egg under 1%, Blazing Egg about 2%. Huge stats, beginner-friendly, still the Haunt-route carry. Best as the Voodoo host: fuse Doll Hen and lock Voodoo. Native Haunt kit is fine until that lock lands. Farm path is on egg routes.
404 Chick — Cursed Egg under 1%, Blazing Egg about 8%. Secret that scales like Reaper and wins more PIT trades with Cycle of Ash. Stone Face at 100% Cursed is the farm. Keep 404 as the base; Radiant Fenghuang is only the donor.
Nebula Hen — Void Egg about 1%, Blazing Egg about 2%. Same ATK and SPD as Reaper and 404, better HP at the cap. Slow start, then a sleeper Tower bird if you lock Cycle of Ash. Astro Chick at 70% Void is the layer, which is why Astro stays relevant as a farm piece.
Kraken Chicken — Kraken Egg during Admin Abuse. High stats, no fuse required. Rank it if you own it; ignore it when the event is closed.
Storm Colossus — Colossus Egg about 1%. S body plus S+ Stormcall. Community lead: + Nine-Tail Hen with Foxfire locked.
Catalyst Hen — Colossus Egg under 1%. Job is Reaction Ring and Trick Eggs (2%). Park it for Ace Rooster. Do not spend the first copy as food.
A — stepping stones, donors, and Ascension leftovers
Golden Goose — Fortune Egg 1%, Blazing Egg 25%. Tanky Tower bird, slow in PvP, Za Warudo is B as a lock. Great Fortune layer once hatched.
Baron Cluck — Royal, Arena, Blazing. Easy early scaler, 100% Fortune layer, Za Warudo native. Farm tool that also fights until S birds arrive.
Astro Chick — Thunder Egg about 11%. The old “only S-tier” headline. Still the Void layer (70%) and a fine mid-game PIT bird. Stop feeding it once Reaper, 404, or any S+ hatch exists.
Doll Hen — Haunt Egg about 2%. Combat is weak. Voodoo is the reason it is A. Fuse into Reaper Rooster and lock Voodoo. Never level it as a carry.
Radiant Fenghuang — Royal Egg 1%. Same story as Doll Hen: Cycle of Ash donor, not a PIT starter. Lock onto 404 Chick or Nebula Hen.
Seraph Rooster, Halo Hen, Oracle Chick — Ascension 5% / 27% / 12%. Seraph is a 100% Colossus layer. Consolation prizes while you hunt Eclipse Hen at 1%.
Plush Chick — Charm Egg filler, not a Tower plan.
Founder Rooster — easy Legendary from Thunder / Fortune / Royal / Ordnance. Titan Mode is B. Rank A as a route bird because it can spit Colossus, Royal, and Fortune.
Sovereign Rooster — Fortune / Colossus layer. Keep one; it is not Eclipse Hen.
B — farm engines
Cosmo Brat — Nest 10%, then 100% Scratch. The entire early tree starts here. Combat ceiling is tiny. Fuse duplicates to cut the 2:40 Scratch timer, then leave it in the incubator forever.
Ballerina Hen — Charm Egg, Bloom layer. Side-branch farm, not a carry.
Orbital Hen — Void Egg. Fine Void filler while you wait on Nebula Hen.
Rooster of Fortune — Royal Egg 15%, 100% Royal layer. Fuse two to speed Radiant Fenghuang hunting. Do not send it into Arena.
C and D — first hour only
Farmer Rooster — Nest / Scratch. Fast early cash, 12 gene levels, then trash.
Commando Rooster — Ordnance layer (70%). Chain piece, not a late PIT pick.
Bow Chick — Charm layer (70%). Opens that branch.
Sergeant Hen — Scratch 8%, 100% Thunder. Keep one fused.
Spider Chicken — Fang layer. Optional.
Classic Rooster is D. Swap it the moment Cosmo Brat hatches.
How to spend the next hatch
Haunt: Doll Hen then Reaper Rooster. Cursed: Stone Face then 404 Chick. Thunder: Astro Chick, Founder Rooster, Aurora Hen, and Prism Rooster as layers — Astro combat is a bonus. Ascension: roll Eclipse Hen; keep Halo Hen / Oracle Chick / Seraph Rooster as spares. Pair bodies with the skill tier list and park the farm on the roster hub.
Do not fuse your only S+ hatch “to see what happens.” Duplicate food is for timers. The first Eclipse Hen, Ace Rooster, or Angel Chicken is the bird the rest of the flock supports.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for codes, fusion, eggs, and Tower climbs.
What is the best chicken right now?
Eclipse Hen for overall Tower, PIT, and Arena. Ace Rooster if you want the highest attack body. Angel Chicken if you live in 3v3. Reaper and 404 remain the best realistic carries before those hatches.
How do I get Eclipse Hen?
Hatch the Ascension Egg (1%). Eggs come from Rebirth milestones and high Arena ranks, not from a 100% layer. Do not overwrite Black Sun Cataclysm.
Is Reaper x Voodoo still worth farming?
Yes until you own an S+ body. Haunt is still the most repeatable path to a real carry. It is no longer the September ceiling.
Should I level Doll Hen or Radiant Fenghuang?
No. Keep them as donors. Lock Voodoo onto Reaper Rooster and Cycle of Ash onto 404 Chick, then stop investing in the donor bodies.
Why is Cosmo Brat only B if it starts every farm?
B is the farm-engine tier. Cosmo Brat is mandatory as a Scratch layer and useless as a PIT fighter. Rank the job, not the nostalgia.
Is Ace Rooster better than Eclipse Hen?
Ace Rooster has the highest base attack and needs a borrowed S+ skill. Eclipse Hen already owns Black Sun Cataclysm and wins more modes without a fuse. Hatch both if you can.
