The following chicken breeds are currently included:
- Ameraucana (10 variants, blue eggs)
- Araucana (5 variants, blue eggs)
- Ayam Cemani (4 variants, cream eggs)
- Barnevelder (8 variants, chocolate eggs)
- Cream Legbar (8 variants, blue eggs)

- Silverudd Blue (5 variants, green eggs)
- Swedish Flower Hen (8 variants, cream eggs)
There are eight egg colors total: White, Cream, Brown, Chocolate, Blue, Mint, Green, and Olive. White and Brown eggs have been recolored to better fit with the new colors. Eggs are available in both regular and large sizes, can be turned into mayonnaise or used in cooking, and can be hatched for even more colorful chickens.
Design notes:
- Each breed produces only one color of egg (sorry, Easter Eggers).
- Easter Eggers were given mint eggs in an effort to keep numbers of blue and green layers fairly balanced.
- This mod is named for 'chicken math,' a phrase referring to the tendency of chicken enthusiasts to acquire more chickens than originally planned.
