This is a hidden quest in the game - mainly for alliance.
This is what you do:
1: Go to westfall, Saldean's Farm.
2: Create a macro with the line /chicken .
3: Target one of the chickens at Saldean's Farm and spam the macro (this might take a while, be patient).
4: Eventually, the chicken will become green-labeled, rightklick the chicken (I presume your not level 1) and you will recive a quest - this quest.
5: Accept the quest, go to "Farmer Saldean" and buy one piece of Special Chicken Feed.
6: Return to the chicken and give him the Special Chicken Feed - he will give you a "Chicken Egg" (you have to pick it up yourself) - this egg is a pet :)

This quest is A H but the special chicken feed is only buyable for the Alliance (you might be able to get it by the cross-faction AH).

EDIT1: The quest will work properly even if you don't /cheer at the chicken.
EDIT2: If I remember correctly it works on every chicken in Westfall, but why bother running all the way just to buy the food? :)

A few additional notes: This quest most likely works with every chicken in the game (I've completed it successfully with a chicken in Theramore and another in Tirisfal Glades.) Also, the Special Chicken Feed is not a quest item so you can easily buy it beforehand.
Finally, once you have gotten the quest, you can /cheer at *any* chicken--not just the one you first used-- to "activate" it to accept your quest.

Also, when the quest is completed it spawns Farm Chicken Egg (https://classicdb.ch/?object=161513) which can be looted for your pet chicken (https://classicdb.ch/?item=11110).

The egg isn't given as a reward and so doesn't appear in your inventory automatically. You need to pick up the egg from the ground.

Ok, this quest is fun and anyone who can make it to Saledans Farm (Westfall (55, 31)) should be able to do it.

As mentioned you must target a chicken at the farm and do /chicken dozens of times.

The easiest way to do this is create a macro by typing /macro in the chat window, then click 'New' -&nbsp give your macro a name, chose an icon and into the 'Enter Macro Commands' window type /chicken %t Now, drag the icon from the macro window onto your action bar.

Target a chicken with the left mous button, stay close to the chicken and spam your macro like crazy. After a short while the chicken turns from yellow to green and you can talk to him.

Get the chicken feed off saledan and speak to your green chicken again. If you chicken has wandered off, you can simply spam the macro at any other chicken and hand in the feed.

Enjoy!

You have to have the chicken selected when you do /chicken.&nbsp Do it enough and it will say that the chicken looks up at you... and it turns green (friendly) and you can right-click on it to get the quest.&nbsp Once you have the special chicken feed you have to /cheer the chicken then right-click on the chicken and complete the quest.&nbsp It will then lay an egg which you right-click to loot the egg you use to summon/dismiss your pet!&nbsp Great quest!&nbsp I passed up on the pets during the childern's week quests and took the 5 G.&nbsp Now I have a pet anyway and it only cost 22 copper :)

Any Hordes wondering how to get the quest done: Do the /chicken thing, and when u are supossed to buy the chicken food, go to booty bay. log out.

for the next part, u gotta be patient P

Make an alliance char (or if u alrdy got 1 thats fine), grind some copper, go to westfall and buy the food, then get down to booty bay. (this is the patient part, cause a lvl 1 passing through STV can get ALOT of aggro P)

Now, put the chicken food for sale in ah for 2 copper buyout, 1 copper bid.

Log on to your horde. Note: this part requires a friend. reason: u cant buyout your own auction -.- (even if its another faction)

get the friend to buy it, then trade it to u or whateva, go up to westfall/duskwood and there u are! Chicken! ^.^
