A fun little pet. You have no control over it. You don't even get a pet bar. It acts just like a pet set to agressive.

It usually does 1 damage per attack. Every once in a while, it gets a berserk buff, increasing its attack speed and attack damage. It does about 80 damage per attack while berserked. It also rarely gives a 5-minute buff Battle Cluck to the party. I'm not sure, but I think it slightly increases melee hit chance.

Kommentar von Carighan

It hits for 1 damage every 2 seconds.
If it enrages (does so often) it deals 40-70 damage (against a lvl70 target) every 1 second, lasts 10 seconds per enrage.

Occassionally it Battle Squawks, the entire group has +5% attackspeed for 5 minutes.

Kommentar von Wildhorn

Battle Chicken is immune to healing. But not to PW:Shield (can make him last longer).

Kommentar von Wildhorn

I would like to know. WTF is that giant chicken in the screenshot?

Kommentar von Mainfold

Still works in TBC, it's lvl 72 when used on lvl 70.

and it packs a good beating if you wondered ;D
+imba buffs =P

Kommentar von 127063

its lvl is determined of your engineering lvl a 375 engineering gives it a lvl of 75 with a gnome it is lvl 78 becauze their racial passive

Kommentar von 141228

This engineering pet has been nerfed in patch 2.4, it no longer scales with your engineering level. It is only lvl 50, and now has a 20 min cooldown. This shorter cooldown does not make up for the fact that this pet is now worthless after your character has lvled past the 50s. Totally worthless in outland, the pet will miss ALOT and only hit in the single digits when it does hit.
Thanks Blizz, for nerfing engineering once again....

Has anyone tested using Battle Squak and Drums of Battle? Do they stack?

Kommentar von 145160

Yes, they stack. Drums are 80 rating and Chicken is 5% flat haste.

Kommentar von entropicdragon

Note that this pet is generally only available to Gnomish Engineers, since the recipe is taught only by Gnomish Engineering Trainers and the pet is BoP. If a Gnomish engineer created one and switched specializations to Goblin, however, it would still be usable.

Kommentar von smashfanDS

A guy on my server was looking for an Engineer to make this trinket.

I said I can do it, and only after that i crafted it for him (his mats) and placed it in the trade window did we find out it was BoP...

Kommentar von barax

Wow, very nice. Patch 2.4.3 reinstated some engineering crafted trinket pets' leveling with engineering skill. This is one. At 375 engineering, it's a level 75 battle chicken.

Kommentar von 140383

Battle Squawk only buffs melee atk speed, not ranged. I tested it by checking my char sheet weapon speeds on both ranged and melee as I got the buff. Only melee speed changed. Sorry, hunters.

Kommentar von 176454

battle chicken! CALL PETA!

Kommentar von weylen107

The screen shot with the large chicken looks like it was altered just by looking at the resolution im not completely sure but i think that picture is a fake

Kommentar von 183777

so if ive got this straight, it does 1 damage per tick, and can enrage to do 70-80 per tick which is STILL not really that amazing and has a very rare chance to do a good buff? doesnt sound worth it to me...gobbo ftw

Kommentar von Meringue

This Chicken is for Battle, I believe it is Gnomish.

Kommentar von 224110

This chicken no longer seems to give the +5% haste buff to you. I tested it today against a level 80 training dummy in IF and it never procced the haste buff once. It seems that they changed it so the chicken gives itself the buff Chicken Fury.

The chicken was level 90 when I was level 80, however, it does not do much damage. It was hitting the training dummy for 3-4 damage and crit for 6-7. Once it had the Chicken Fury buff, it hit for 70-71 damage and crit for 140-141. So not really much benefit but you can still summon it before a boss and switch to another trinket before combat starts.

Kommentar von guisadop

it is consumed when used?

Kommentar von Howled

Does Haste buff stacks? If i had 3 chickens in party at start of combat? 5+5+5%?

Kommentar von magicalhats15

As a ret paladin in ICC I equip this before the fight starts, use it, then equip my main trinket. The chicken stays out and i don't lose out on DPS.

Recount doesn't record how much damage the chicken does, so I can't report on that (though it must be something like 2k), but the 5% haste buff is huge. If you consider it as haste rating instead of percent it seems more impressive: ~150 haste rating for everyone in the group. We put all of our melee in one group, so this chicken gives 750 haste for several minutes. For people doing around 10k dps, that's a lot of extra damage.

It's a nice way of increasing DPS without any loss, unless you forget you are wearing it when combat starts.

Kommentar von 451327

Does the melee haste still work?
I am considering going engineer for gloves chant, if this worked it would seal the deal, helping my melee team mates.

What is the proc chance of the haste buff?

And like Howled asked, does it stack with other chickens (that sounds so messed up)?

Doc

Kommentar von 563101

Could this be used by a level 29 gnome twink? (+15 eng racial)

Kommentar von 616275

I quickly went through the comments and it seems that some useful info is missing, for PvP players at least :

The chicken detects stealthed rogues (or feral druids) around it !

I first got it for the fun of it... and finally kept it mainly for that reason.

Can be very useful when carrying the flag in WSG or when suspecting annoying rogues wandering around. Freaking priceless to see them running away with your chicken on their heels :D

PS : non-perfect english very much possible, being french doesn't help

Kommentar von Thottbot

I like this more than the dragon ones since this is every half hour and lasts 1.5 minutes.

This gives me more use out of it.

Kommentar von Thottbot

you have to be a gnomish engineer to use it... oglethorpe in booty bay teaches it.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Is the chicken destroyed when it's used or can you use it several times?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Hits for 15-23 pretty fast.

has a chance to gain "Chicken Fury" wich gives it 150% incrased damage and 100% incrased attack speed, when it gains that its pretty decent.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Engineer skill / 5

E.g. For 260 Engineering skill
you will have 260/5 => Lv 52 Chicken

My engineer skill is 290 and I can call a Lv 58 Chicken and dragon

Kommentar von Thottbot

I found out something really important tonight about the Gnomish battle chicken. It is Bind On Pickup. Yep, that means when you make it it can't be given to other players. I tried to create 2 of these tonight for someone, they paid me and for the supplies. I cannot believe I did this and I will always read the item before making it. The guy was very cool about the whole thing and when I tried to give him everything I had, he refused. Just said enjoy the skill ups. So yes, I learned to read..and never will make that mistake again.

That makes sense.
Just made my first dragonling.
So my engineering = 200 a 205.
My lvl = 36.
Dragon lvl = 40.
Usefull little thing, I just expected it to be bigger :)

I'll take a look if it levels once my engineering is a bit higher.

Kommentar von Thottbot

1. Level of chicken depends on your engineering skill level at time of use. It levels up with you.

2. If it dies in combat, which isn't often for me, it is still available for use again in 30 minute.

Personally I love the Battle Chicken, although it is annoying when its hitting for 1's.. still havent figured out what makes it really start dealing damage... but it does it often enough to make me happy.

Something I havent seen mentioned.. my chicken is a level 58 (engineering 290) and I'm a level 44. In BG my chicken and dragons see rogues in stealth. The other day my mithril dragonling and battle chicken took off and flushed out two rogues coming up a hill. The rogues fled and I got my best laugh of the day :)

Kommentar von Thottbot

Just to clarify - I assume the chicken and dragons see rogues in stealth because of level differential. I'm not saying they will see all rogues in stealth all the time.

Kommentar von Thottbot

The facts as i know em:

1)gnomish BOP
2)can be used w/ another pet, including another engineering trinket pet (i have chicken and dragonling). Unleash the chicken first though, there is a 30 sec cooldown to unleash the dragonling, since the chicken lasts 1.5 min, and the dragonling only 1min. Well you get it.
3)the chicken will level w/ you, incentive to use it often. My chicken is now lv. 63.
4)yes the chicken starts out w/ very tiny 1-3 dmg. hits, but if it stays alive long enough you'll see it become enraged at which time it begins to repetitively crit for 60-80 dmg. (this is my lv. 63 chicken, so yours might be less).
5) this one's no longer a fact, and i'm quite disapointed, was one of the chickens coolest traits, and it was nerfed at some point, i'm not sure when. The chicken used to in the heat of melee, after it became enraged, cast "Battle Squawk", giving the entire party a pretty nice, short term attack power buff. Not sure when this skill on the chicken disapeared, i didn't notice for a while that it wasnt happening, but i wish they'd bring it back.

Kommentar von Thottbot

If you're level 35 - 49, then I recommend getting your chicken to level 60 by grinding engineering all the way to 300. Afterwards, head to the battlegrounds... then this chicken is unfreaking stoppable..

My chickens best record so far is 4 kills in the 1.5 minutes that he's out. He hits pretty darn fast, so use him caster if at all possible.

Only one wierd thing I've noticed, he only hits for 1 damage until he gets mad. I'm not 100% positive, but I believe he gets mad and turns a red color whenever an enemy hits him. Afterwards, againist level 49ish, he starts hitting for around 80 - 160 a pop.

Probably my second favorite engineer item after the mind control cap.

Kommentar von Thottbot

in WSG lvl30 i saw a battle chicken lvl 60! explain that! i got pwnd! he hited 120-140 crited 200+

Kommentar von Thottbot

You get the recipe from the gnomish engineer in boty bay

Kommentar von Thottbot

Would it be possible for an gnomish engineer to make it, then unlearn engineering(starting another profession), then relearn engineering and grind all the way up to goblin and STILL be able to use the chicken?

I'm assuming it would be possible(for those die hard engineers) since the chicken does not require gnomish engineering to use. excellent ><

Kommentar von Thottbot

Not sure if anyone else posted about this (long threads), but the Battle Chicken/Mechanical Dragonlings can detect stealth very easily if you take the time to level up your engineering early.

I'm currently playing a 30-39 Mage BG twink, and my level 60 pets detect stealth from about 20-30 yards away (!). It's quite satisfying to see my chicken go flying across the map, then peck at a stealthed rogue/druid for 1 damage :D

Kommentar von Thottbot

The recipe for the Gnomish Battle Chicken can be learned from the Master Gnomish Engineering trainer in Tinkertown inside of Ironforge. You have to have 230 skill to learn make and use this item. It binds on pickup which means you cannot trade it to other engineers, gnomish or goblin alike. Therefore only gnomish engineers who can craft this can use this. The level of the chicken is determined by the level of your engineering skill divided by 5. So a 300 engineer will have a level 60 chicken while a 230 engineer will have a level 46 chicken.

Kommentar von Thottbot

This is probably one of my most used trinkets in the game.

My chicken is lvl 53 and hits at 78-79 normally but often crits at 158.

I just set him on a croc in STV to count how much damage he does in ONE fight and...

11x79 hits = 869
4x158 hit = 632
(and a bunch of 1-hits).
Total approx: 1,500

And this does not include the 5% attack speed increase I often get from the battle squak.

I often use the chicken in two scenarios:

1) When fighting something where the approx 1,500 'free' damage points is valuable (boss, etc)

2) When trying to get away..as the chicken is good at holding aggro as you run for your life

Really a great trinket for me at least.

Kommentar von Thottbot

Since it's not Uniquie...

If I make more than one will they share the same cooldown?

I'll test and post...

Kommentar von Thottbot

Nice, the lvl 70 battlechicken did 3125 dammage total before died of time.
Thats with 350 skill. A gnome like me could get to 390 skill and get the chicken to 76 with all other summonables :D

Kommentar von Thottbot

THIS chicken is sooo damn funny, i just cant stop laughing when he gets enraged or sounds his 'Battle Squawk'! (oooh watch out XD)
Since i made it, its always in my bag just when i need some extra dps or something to chear me up, it also rocks agains casters. when u pop one out, casting time gets doubled and dont think they will spot the little chicken within 30 secs! :D

btw, also goblin engineers can have em when they first had gnomish and then specced to goblin. (via the soothsaying book)

Kommentar von Thottbot

ABILITIES

'Chicken Fury'
Your battle chicken will attack 100% faster and with +100% damage for some 10 or 15 seconds. Awesome DPS boost ;)

'Battle Squawk'
Your battle chicken AND ALL NEARBY ALLIES will have their attack speed increased by 5% for 3 minutes. This makes the chicken even useful for raids... all melees gain bout +5% damage for several minutes.

But do not count on these abilities - sometimes they activate, sometimes they don't.

Kommentar von Thottbot

he only hits more then 1 if he crits... then its 2 or if he gets enraged

Kommentar von Thottbot

I was wondering if you lost eng but still have trinket equiped
can you still use it?

Kommentar von Thottbot

I love this chicken... because of it... I swear not to eat another chicken again.... besides gnome mages taste just like them but with more arcane goodness.

Kommentar von Thottbot

You have to be careful of this thing. You have no control over it and it'll run off and attack anything in sight.

Kommentar von Thottbot

could you make on start over in eng and get to lvl 5 in it so that the pet is lvl one?

Kommentar von Thottbot

Whats it do? Shoot bolts out of it's butt or just peck xD

Kommentar von Thottbot

Sad to say the chicken got nerfed in 2.4 Summoned it to help my mage in battle (aka hold ag while i run away) And to my dismay my level 78 chicken was now level 55. Why oh why must they continue to take all the fun outta being a gnome engineer. Oh well i still got my poultryezer

Kommentar von Allakhazam

With the last patch, you can now get this as Goblin Engineer. Go Gnomish, get it made, along with the Death ray, drop Engineering, and then retrain and go Goblin. This didn't use to be possible but was made so 1.10

Kommentar von Allakhazam

CHICKEN cant wait! this thing is kinda better than dragonling exept for dragonling is better the more u upgrade it but theres only 1 battle chicken.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Where do i find this chicken.?
if u know where plz message me.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Everything IronFalcon says, I have to say 'Dito' to.

Except that 'Since it has a quicker cooldown, it can be used for normal combat situations'. I have to disagree with that. Half an hour? Yeah, quicker and quick are two different things. (Although, I maybe misinterpreting what you mean 'normal combat situations, which may be boss battles to you).

This thing is very useful for boss battles. It gets all the aggro one could want, and as a rogue (Like IronFalcon), I usualy have aggro issues with 'summons', but not with this guy.

One of the best in my books.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

where do u get the schemata for this?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

I'm a warlock, and I want to know if, I'll lose my minion, if I summon this chicken.

Kommentar von Allakhazam

if my friend makes one of these and sends it to me... can i use it a lv 19? or do i need to have 230 engineering to use it?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

Got my chicken a couple of weeks ago, and having loads of fun with it. Here are some things I have found out about it so far.

Chicken facts:
* Gnome engineers only.
* Schematic is learned from Oglethorpe Obnoticus in Booty Bay. Skill req 230.
* Trinket is bind on pickup
* The chicken's level is based on your engineering skill divided by 5 (starts as lv 46 at 230, scaling up to lv 60 at 300 engineering).
* Does not share a cooldown with the other combat pets (mechanical dragonlings). You can even have both summoned at the same time
* Chicken cannot be buffed or healed (Mechanical Repair kits work though)
* Chicken cannot be controlled - it will follow you around and attack anything within its agro range

Chicken buffs:*
-Battle Squawk-
Adds 5% attack speed to party members in 100 yrds
Duration 4 min

-Chicken Fury-
Adds 100% to the chicken's damage
Adds 100% to the chicken's attack speed
Duration 10 sec
(also turns the chicken red, like the hunter Bestial Wrath talent)

* Seems to cast these at random. Squawks maybe 1 in 2 summons, procs Fury maybe 1-2 times per summon.

Observations:
Now I've found the chicken's damage output to be very variable. It attacks very fast, but most often seems to hit for 1 damage. When it casts the Chicken Fury buff though, which it does fairly often, its damage seems to jump drastically and it starts hitting consistently for 50-90 or whatever its max hit is against the opponent's level and armor. Basically the fight will look something like this:
1, 1, 1, 1, 1, (Chicken Fury) 79, 79, 80, 79, 80, etc.

I've seen it pecking consistently for 91's against a cloth wearer in a 30-39 battleground, and the highest crit I've seen so far is 151 (against Mograine in Scarlet Monastery). It doesn't have a great deal of hitpoints (less than 1500 at lv 60 - I used a repair kit when it was around 50% and it healed it to full) but can still be handy to take a bit off heat off you in a PvE situation.

All in all, I'm very happy with my chicken. As a priest, it's nice to have an extra source of damage for a boss fight or just in an emergency. It's pretty effective in battlegrounds too. Well worth powerlevelling my engineering so I could have him at a low level (maxed 300 skill at lv 36 hehe).

How do you control the chicken? I created one last night, summoned it, and it was standing there next to me. Should it get a pet bar? I do have a UI installed, so it's possible that it hid it, but, how do others control it?

Kommentar von Allakhazam

This chicken is good. Here's a warning though: at first it seems weak! Once you use it 3 to 5 times you will begin to see a little more how it works and be impressed like I now am.

This battle chicken is level 46 and can take a lot of damage! It's attack hits for 15 to 75 dmg every 1 to 1.5 seconds or so. (The chicken hits for more damage the higher level the mob it is attacking. Example level 30 mobs it hits for 15dmg a lot more than 75dmg, but on level 37 mobs it hits for 40dmg a lot more than any other dmg).

It has at least 2 special features:

1) It has Chicken Furry, an attack speed increase that makes it hit every .75 seconds with more damage or so it seems.
2) It taunts mobs off of you. This is very handy for me a rogue so that I can put massive damage on a mob from behind while soloing and the mob never turns around if the chicken has taken agro for a while.

This chicken fights for 1 min 30 seconds and has a cool down of 30 minutes. I have found that because of this shorter cool down time, it can be used in normal combat situations regularly unlike the mechanical dragonling. Here's a suggestion: when the chicken is cooling down, switch the mechanical dragonling into its trinket slot so you have a pet there for emergency purposes.

One last thing to note is that the Mechanical Dragon seems to do more damage, but the Battle Chicken can take 3 times as much damage if not more.

I'm a level 34 Gnome Rogue doing Gnomish Engineering, skill at 240.

Kommentar von QuickBASIC

There's a lot of confusion about this currently. There are basically four types of items that can be made by engineers:

BoE items that can be used by any engineer and traded.
BoP items that can be crafted by a specific specialization, but used by any engineer
Items that require a specific specialization to use.
BoP items that can be crafted by an engineer, but can be used even after engineering is dropped

Gnomish Engineering allows you to craft these items:

Item	Bind on Pickup	Requires Engineering to Use	Requires Gnomish to Use
Gnomenschutzbrille	Yes	Yes	No
Gnomenunglücksverhinderungsgürtel	No	Yes	No
Gnomische Gedankenkontrollkappe	No	Yes	No
Gnomenraketenstiefel	No	Yes	No
Extrem sicherer Transporter: Gadgetzan	No*	Yes	Yes
Weltvergrößerer	No	Yes	Yes

Gnomenschrumpfstrahl	No	Yes	No
Pläne: Veredelter Mithrilzylinder	N/A	N/A	N/A
Lil' Smoky	Yes	Yes	No

* This is Bind on Use (not equip).

If your intent is to switch to Goblin after crafting all the goodies (by dropping and re-leveling Engineering), you should probably craft all of these items, but you must craft Gnomenschutzbrille, Gnomenkampfhuhn, Gnomentodesstrahl, and Lil' Smoky (these are BoP) or you will lose access to these items permanently (unless you drop and re-level gnomish engineering again.

Extrem sicherer Transporter: Gadgetzan and Weltvergrößerer cannot be used by a non-gnomish engineer, so you can skip crafting these if you're planning on switching.

NOTE: Gnomentodesstrahl doesn't require Engineering to use, so technically, you could level Engineering to craft this item, and drop it and still be able to use it.

Goblin Engineering allows you to craft these items:

Item	Bind on Pickup	Requires Engineering to Use	Requires Goblin to Use
Goblinraketenstiefel	No	No	No
Rezept: Goblinraketentreibstoff	No	N/A	N/A
Goblinmörser	No	Yes	No
Goblinbergbauhelm	Yes	Yes	No

Goblinpioniersprengladung	No	Yes	No
Goblindrachenwerfer	Yes	No	No
Goblinmörser	No	Yes	No
Winzige wandelnde Bombe	Yes	No	No
Dimensionszerfetzer: Ewige Warte	No*	Yes	Yes

* This is Bind on Use (not equip).

If your intent is to switch to Gnomish after crafting all the goodies (by dropping and re-leveling Engineering), you should probably craft all of these items, but you must craft Goblinbergbauhelm, Goblinbombenspender, Goblindrachenwerfer, and Winzige wandelnde Bombe (these are BoP) or you will lose access to these items permanently (unless you drop and re-level Goblin Engineering again.

NOTE: I recommend you go Gnomish first because most items crafted by Goblin are comsumable, whereas Gnomish is toys and trinkets that can be used after you switch. If you do Goblin first, you'll not be able to craft some of the most powerful explosives in the game for yourself and need to buy them reguarily if you want to use them.

Dimensionszerfetzer: Ewige Warte cannot be used by a non-goblin engineer, so you can skip crafting these if you're planning on switching.

NOTE: Goblindrachenwerfer doesn't require Engineering to use, so technically, you could level Engineering to craft this item, and drop it and still be able to use it.

Kommentar von addohm

Casts Schlachtkräher which increases the attack speed of the party by 5% for 5 minutes. In raids, it's best use is to cast it about a minute before a boss encounter and cross your fingers that Battle Squawk is cast. There is no control over it's cast, it seems pretty random.

Also, when you use this trinket, it puts a 1 minute cooldown on other minion spawning items like Zauberfoliant des uralten Grundsteins.

Level of the chicken seems to not scale with your engi on actual classic as was mentioned in various comments. I used it on level 44 with 300 skill and it was just level 44 as me.

Edit: Now I am at level 52 and chicken is level 60, can someone explain?
