The Chicken Zombie — also known as the Chicken Jockey — is one of the rarest and most powerful mythical pets ever introduced in Grow a Garden on Roblox.
First added in the May 17 update, this pet quickly became a game-changer due to its unique ability to trigger Zombified Mutations, which offer multipliers far beyond any other fruit effect.
But since it’s no longer available through standard gameplay, players have been asking the same question: Can you still get the Chicken Zombie today? The answer is yes — but only through unofficial methods.
Here’s how players are still obtaining the Chicken Zombie in Grow a Garden, and why it remains one of the most valuable pets in the game.
What Makes the Chicken Zombie So Overpowered?
The Chicken Zombie isn’t just rare — it’s overpowered. Here’s what it does:
-
Zombified Mutation: Every 30 minutes, there’s a 20% chance that a nearby fruit will receive the Zombified effect.
-
Catch Speed Boost: Increases the speed at which you can harvest crops by 10%.
The Zombified Mutation effect is especially powerful:
-
It gives a 25x multiplier, stronger than Golden or Frozen Blood mutations.
-
When combined with a Golden Fruit, the effect can reach 50x, similar to a Rainbow Mutation.
-
A single Zombified Peach can sell for 150,000 coins or more, making it one of the most profitable crops in the game.
Even though this mutation is rare — and not guaranteed even if you own the pet — its potential impact on your farming results is unmatched.
Can You Still Get the Chicken Zombie?
The pet was only available during a specific event and is no longer obtainable through gameplay. However, there are still two main ways players are getting it:
1. Trading in the Official Discord Server
Grow a Garden’s official Discord server has a dedicated #trading channel where players offer rare pets and fruits. Here’s how you can use it:
-
Join the server and navigate to the trading section.
-
Watch for users offering Chicken Zombie pets.
-
Be prepared to trade valuable items in return — such as Golden or Mythical pets, or rare fruits.
For example, some users have successfully traded 2–3 strong pets or exclusive cosmetics to get just one Chicken Zombie.
2. Giveaways from Content Creators
Some Grow a Garden YouTubers and streamers are hosting small giveaways, offering Chicken Zombies to their followers.
Usually, the requirement is simple:
-
Comment your Roblox username
-
Add a note like “Chicken Zombie” or “Gift Pet”
-
Wait for the creator to use the in-game gift system to send the pet directly to your inventory
While not guaranteed, many viewers have reported success, especially during livestreams or special update events.
Does the Pet Still Work?
Yes — even if you get the Chicken Zombie via trade or gift, it still functions as intended. However, it’s important to note:
-
Zombified Mutation remains rare. Even creators with the pet have reported only getting one or two fruits with the effect after hours of play.
-
Owning the pet doesn’t guarantee the mutation — it just unlocks the chance.
This rarity adds to the value of both the pet and any Zombified fruit you manage to grow.
Is It Still Worth Getting?
Absolutely. Despite being limited and somewhat unpredictable, the Chicken Zombie still holds enormous value:
-
It’s one of the only ways to access the Zombified Mutation.
-
The passive catch speed boost helps in both farming and fruit collection.
-
It’s a strong bargaining chip in trades due to its exclusivity.
If you’re a serious Grow a Garden player — whether you farm, collect, or trade — the Chicken Zombie remains a top-tier asset.
Final Thoughts
Even though the Chicken Zombie is no longer available through normal gameplay, players are still finding ways to get it through community trading and creator giveaways.
Its power hasn’t diminished. In fact, its rarity has only made it more desirable. Whether you’re after huge multipliers, rare mutations, or simply a prestigious pet, this mythical creature is worth pursuing.
Stay active in the Discord, follow trusted content creators, and keep your inventory stocked with valuable items for trade. With the right effort — and a little luck — you might still add the Chicken Zombie to your garden.
