The Chick is an item appearing in EarthBound and Mother 3. In both games, the player can obtain a chick by having a Fresh Egg in their inventory for a certain amount of time until it hatches. While a chick is in the inventory, a chirping sound can be heard on the overworld. Chicks will turn into Chickens if left in the inventory for an even longer amount of time, which can then be sold for a large profit.
Trivia
- The chick was popularly rumored to be able to cure Homesickness in EarthBound, but this has since been proven false.[1]
