If you've messed around with the merchant alliance in the new beta, you will know that you need to collect either pigs or chickens for the missions.
I've searched countless islands and found a few pigs, but NO CHICKENS
Anyone got tips?
@elephantghost26 Try Thieves Haven, there should be some at the base of the waterfall, also Smuggler's Bay.
@elephantghost26 I forget where, but they are around just like pigs, roaming! I found plenty of pigs but fewer chickens. Sorry I couldn't help more, I thought exactly the same thing when I was searching for the chickens the first time. Not sure if this has changed.
Id suggest leaving the wilds if thats where you are currently,, dont have much luck down there and youre better off in sunnier climates :P. Unlike others I do have success at chicken isle...that said its all kind of a guessing game, thats the mystery of it. Wouldnt be as fun if it were just the same island each time :P
@freakytrain-180 There is no way to humanely empty the cage currently... the blunderbuss does work nicely in the meantime.
@secretbeef You need to get a cage from the merchant trader :)
Or find a coop lying around the shores...
