Stardew Valley creator Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone finally brought update 1.6 to console and mobile devices today, but there’s one small issue – everyone’s chickens are going missing. The developer warned players about the poultry disappearances in a post on X/Twitter .
He says that those who start a new meadowlands farm and open their animal door on day one will find that their chickens are vanishing. It’s a public service announcement that let’s players know that there's a small issue with update 1.6, and a fix is on the way.
Until a follow-up patch arrives, ConcernedApe says players can blame their missing chickens on a sneaky coyote that only appears on day one. PSA: there is currently an issue, if you start a new farm on the meadowlands farm and open the animal door on the coop day 1, your chickens will disappear. If you leave the door closed for one day, it should save them.
We will fix this. Lore: There is a wild coyote on the farm..
