Hay

Quick answer

Hay is chicken feed. Official pre-EA notes say wild grass yields it at any growth stage; because that predates Early Access, verify a small test in your current save. A current-build bush/container route remains a single-player lead.

How to get it

1. Test a small patch of wild grass first. Official Alpha notes say any growth stage yields Hay, but that pre-EA method has not been reconfirmed in the current build.
2. If that fails, one current-build player report suggests cutting bushes or searching crates and barrels on NPC farms. This is a lead to test, not a guaranteed drop table.

Where to look

• Wild grass: the official source is historical Alpha documentation, so verify it in your current save before clearing a large area.
• Bushes and NPC-farm crates/barrels: a single current-build player lead, with no confirmed drop rate or exact container list.

Main uses and linked content

When chickens arrive, first try cutting a small patch of wild grass; official Alpha notes say growth stage does not matter, but this has not been reverified in the current Early Access build. If that fails, a current-build report suggests bushes and NPC-farm crates/barrels, not a guaranteed drop table.
