Chickens Vanish in Stardew Valley Patch 1.6: Coyote Blamed

In the latest update for Stardew Valley, creator Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone addresses a bug in version 1.6 where chickens can disappear if players open their animal doors on the first day of a new meadowlands farm. This issue is due to a coyote introduced in the update, which becomes a danger if the door is not kept closed. While a fix is coming, players are advised to avoid this problem temporarily by keeping the door shut for the first day. The 1.6 update, released on consoles, also includes new features like finding lost items and cheat commands, making it a significant enhancement to the farming simulation game.

Players should keep the animal door closed for the first day after starting a new meadowlands farm to prevent their chickens from disappearing due to the newly introduced coyote.

Stardew Valley is a celebrated farming simulation game that has captured the hearts of players since its release, credited for its charming visuals and engaging gameplay. With regular updates from ConcernedApe, the game continues to evolve, offering players fresh content and experiences, cementing its status as a modern classic in the gaming community.
