The Complete Feeder Guide - Grow a Chicken Fighter Wiki
Grow corn, feed your chickens, and let them gain levels. Upgrade output, add a second feeder, and level fighters while you farm.
Overview
The feeder is the heart of leveling in Grow a Chicken Fighter. It grows corn that your chickens eat for experience, and upgrading it raises how much feed comes out each second. A well-stocked feeder lets you level a chicken even while away, and a second feeder can level two birds at once.
Watch: Feeding and Upgrading
This video shows how to feed chickens and upgrade the feeder in Grow a Chicken Fighter. You will see the exact feed button flow, how the feeder produces corn, and what changes when you invest cash into the feeder upgrade.
What the Feeder Does
The feeder grows corn, and chickens that eat that corn gain levels. Players have described long AFK stretches where a chicken climbed from around level 26 to 37 purely on feeder food. Upgrade the feeder to spit out more feed per second, so birds level even faster.
Chickens also gain levels from eating after fights, so the feeder works alongside tower combat rather than replacing it. You can buy a second feeder for another chicken, which helps when you are building a rotation of fighters for different situations.
Feeder Rates and Costs
These feed rates come from player observations in Grow a Chicken Fighter, so treat them as examples rather than fixed values. The feeder upgrade cost of 180 cash is one confirmed data point. Feed is referred to as corn, and chickens eat it to gain experience.
| Upgrade Stage | Feed Output | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Base feeder | 2 feed per second | Starting output seen on a fresh feeder |
| First upgrade | 3 feed per second | Cost example observed: 180 cash |
| Further upgrades | 5 feed per second | Seen after more cash was invested |
| Second feeder | Levels another chicken | Buyable separately for a second bird |
Set Up AFK Leveling
To level a chicken without constant attention, the feeder needs to be stocked and upgraded. With enough feed output, one useful active chicken can keep gaining levels while you work on the rest of your progression loop. This pairs well with offline egg production for a truly idle setup.
Stock the Feeder
Make sure the feeder has corn so your active chicken is always eating. A hungry chicken stops gaining levels until feed is available.
Upgrade the Feeder
Invest cash into the feeder to raise feed output from 2 per second toward 3 and then 5, which levels the bird noticeably faster.
Deploy Your Best Chicken
Put your strongest fighter on the feeder and keep it there. The chicken's damage and health climb with every level it earns.
Add a Second Feeder for a Second Bird
Buy another feeder when you want two chickens leveling at the same time, useful for building a fight rotation.
Feeder Strategies
The feeder works best when it supports a single strong chicken. That bird becomes your tower fighter, and every level it gains from corn translates into more damage and health for the next floor. Upgrade the feeder before spending on extras.
Feeding and fighting work together. Use the feeder for passive growth between tower attempts, and retreat a wounded chicken from combat so it can rest and recover while it eats, keeping your best birds alive through longer runs. This keeps your strongest fighter climbing floors for longer stretches.
Keep It Stocked
A feeder without corn stops leveling your chicken, so refill feed before long AFK sessions.
Upgrade Feed Output
Raising output from 2 to 3 and then 5 feed per second makes leveling dramatically faster.
Pair With Tower Fights
Feed between tower attempts so a rested, higher level chicken climbs more floors.
Add a Second Feeder
Buy one for another chicken when you want two fighters leveling at the same time.
Feeding Tips
Feeding is simple but easy to neglect. Keep the feeder upgraded, keep one strong chicken eating, and let it level while you fight in the tower. The results show up quickly in damage, health, and the floors you can clear.
- Keep the feeder stocked before any long AFK session.
- Upgrade the feeder before spending cash on random extras.
- Put your strongest chicken on the feeder to keep it leveling.
- Add a second feeder to level two fighters at once.
- Retreat a wounded chicken from the tower so it can rest and eat.
- Collect scrap with a light load — carrying more slows you down.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the feeder do in the game?
The feeder grows corn that chickens eat to gain levels. Keeping it stocked and upgraded lets one chicken level up even while away.
How much does the feeder upgrade cost?
One player paid 180 cash for a feeder upgrade. Prices may differ, and no official price table has been published.
How fast does the feeder produce feed?
Observations show about 2 feed per second at base, rising to 3 after one upgrade and around 5 after further investment.
Can the feeder level chickens by itself?
Yes. Players describe long AFK stretches where a chicken climbed from around level 26 to 37 purely on feeder food.
Can you have more than one feeder?
Yes. You can buy a second feeder for another chicken, so two birds gain levels at the same time. Two feeders let you prepare a backup fighter while your main bird levels.
Do chickens still level from fighting?
Yes. Chickens gain levels from eating and from fighting, so the feeder works alongside tower combat rather than replacing it.
