Chicken Feed
"Feed your pet to keep it around." Chicken Feed drops from Weekly Care Packages in three sizes, from a regular bag to bulk. The game checks whether the food runs out before the next life stage and warns you when it is low. An egg without food never hatches, and a pet without food leaves for good, so take the feed whenever the care package offers it.
Catalana chickens
Built on the classic Counter-Strike chicken: a tall single comb and a long tail. The breed with the most colors.
13 colorsOpen in 3D
Silkie chickens
A round, fluffy bantam with silky feathers all the way down to its feet.
9 colorsOpen in 3D
Polish chickens
A crested breed with a big pom-pom of feathers on top of its head.
12 colorsOpen in 3D
How to get a pet chicken in CS2
- 01
Rank up on a Prime account
Your first rank-up of the week opens the Weekly Care Package. Weekly drops need Prime, so free accounts cannot get a pet.
- 02
Pick the Chicken Egg
The egg is not offered every week and it takes both of your reward picks, so you skip the case or skin that week.
- 03
Keep it fed
Chicken Feed comes from later Weekly Care Packages. The game warns you when food runs low. Run out and the egg or pet leaves for good.
- 04
Watch it grow
The egg hatches into a chick, the chick becomes a pullet with its breed and color, and the pullet grows into a hen.
- 05
Name it and fill the HatchBook
Give it a name, take it to the photo booth and fill the Chick, Pullet and Hen chapters of its HatchBook.
About CS2 pets
Pets arrived in Counter-Strike 2 with the Rush Hour update on September 22, 2026. Valve left them out of the patch notes; players found the Chicken Egg as a new option in their Weekly Care Package, after more than a year of dataminers spotting pet code and animations in the game files.
A pet is a cosmetic companion with its own loadout slot. It gives no gameplay advantage. You can own one at a time, it cannot be traded or sold, and no marketplace lists it, which is why there are no CS2 pet prices to track. The breed and color are picked at random when the chick grows into a pullet: Catalana (13 colors), Silkie (9 colors), Polish (12 colors). A hidden pet seed then nudges the hue, saturation and brightness, so no two chickens look exactly alike.
Your pet lives next to your agent in the main menu and, from the pullet stage, follows you onto maps with its name shown to other players. The HatchBook records its life in Chick, Pullet and Hen chapters, with photos from the photo booth: poses with your agent, effects, filters, stickers and backdrops, including maps you have finished a match on. When a pet retires of old age, the HatchBook stays on your profile.
