CS2 chicken colors and catalog differences

Feather color shows when the pet reaches pullet. A breed catalog lists 34 High Grade looks: 13 Catalana, 12 Polish, 9 Silkie. Other writers and discussions report different totals. I print all three and sort the table by the 34 named rows.

Why the totals fight

SkinsMonkey’s breed article, updated in its byline on 28 Oct 2026, is the list behind the table: every row is High Grade, and the article does not give odds. SkinLords also says 34 in one sentence and then splits breeds as 15, 13, and 13, which cannot be the same arithmetic. A previously collected Steam-community snapshot reported 41–42 file variants, but that page returned HTTP 429 during this review. Searches using “35 skins” also refer to CS2; 35 is not adopted as a verified catalog total here. Valve has not published an official total, so I refuse to crown one.

Green

The named green rows in that 34-list are Polish: Green, and Green with Red Head. People search the green chicken because it is the loud color. The catalog still marks it High Grade, same label as Tan. No source I used attaches a percentage to green.

Black

Black appears as its own Catalana row, plus black-headed and black-tipped mixes on both Catalana and Polish. Those are separate rows, not one “black chicken” with a rarity bump. Specks on an egg are not the same field as the grown bird’s color. Egg pattern cells in the source file are empty, so the table does not invent speck shapes.

Breeds, not rarities

• Catalana: classic farmyard shape, long tail, red comb, no crest. Default color in the catalog is Tan. 13 colors.
• Polish: feathered crest. Default in the catalog is Brown. 12 colors.
• Silkie: fluffy plumage. Default in the catalog is White. 9 colors.

The in-game name many players see is still just Pet Chicken. The color strings below are the names the breed catalog took from files, not a Valve store title.
