If you’ve been playing Grow A Garden for a while, you probably know that pets can make a huge difference in how efficiently you manage your garden. One of the more interesting and slightly quirky pets in the game is the Sunny-Side Chicken. Today, I want to break down its abilities and share some tips on how to get the most out of it.

What the Sunny-Side Chicken Does

At first glance, the Sunny-Side Chicken might look like just a cute decorative pet. But once you understand its ability, it’s clear that it has practical value in your garden. The main ability of this chicken is that it boosts crop growth speed slightly while also producing a small amount of eggs automatically. This is particularly helpful when you’re trying to maximize your harvest without spending too much time manually collecting items.

From my experience, the egg production might seem slow at first, but over time, those extra eggs can really add up. They can be used in crafting or sold for a small profit. Pairing this pet with other growth-boosting items or pets can make your garden much more efficient overall.

How to Maximize Its Ability

The Sunny-Side Chicken works best when it’s placed near high-yield crops or special items that generate extra resources. I usually keep it near my tomato and pumpkin plots because those crops take a bit longer to grow, and the chicken helps nudge their timers along.

A small tip: the chicken’s ability doesn’t stack if you have multiple chickens, so don’t feel the need to hoard a flock. One is enough to get the growth bonus and egg production benefits.

Acquiring the Sunny-Side Chicken

If you don’t have this pet yet, there are a few ways to obtain it. You can buy Grow A Garden pets through various in-game events or from trusted sellers like U4GM. Personally, I find that checking community shops during seasonal events is the easiest way to get pets without spending too much in-game currency.

Another tip here is that sometimes events will include the Sunny-Side Chicken as a reward for completing certain daily tasks. Keep an eye on the event calendar—those rewards can save you a lot of hassle.

Combining With Other Pets and Items

While the Sunny-Side Chicken is useful on its own, it becomes really powerful when paired with other growth-boosting pets or items. For instance, placing a Growth Fairy or using special fertilizer items nearby can accelerate the effects.

For players who prefer shortcuts, you can buy Grow A Garden items online from platforms like U4GM. I’ve done this a couple of times when I wanted to quickly upgrade my garden for a seasonal event. Just make sure to check that the items match your garden’s current level and needs.

My Personal Take

Honestly, I’ve grown to really enjoy having the Sunny-Side Chicken in my garden. It’s not just functional; it adds a bit of charm and personality. I like to think of it as a small helper who keeps an eye on my crops while I’m focusing on other tasks. If you’re just starting out or trying to optimize your harvest, this pet is a solid choice.

Also, don’t underestimate the psychological boost of seeing your chicken happily wandering around your garden. Sometimes, the little touches make the game feel more alive.
