Fortnite is full of strange challenges and stranger sights. One weird thing that players may see is a character gliding through the air with the help of a captive chicken. That's because a new quest in Season 6 of Fortnite rewards fans with XP by gliding in a certain area with a chicken. Quirky objectives like this are part of the fun when striving to max out the current season's battle pass. Anyone wondering how to complete the challenge can use this short guide to learn how to chicken glide at Colossal Crops.

If using a chicken to traverse the air sounds fun, then the current state of the island in Fortnite is bound to hold many more fun surprises. The theme of Season 6 is "Primal," and players have been honing their survival skills and making use of the environment and nature to claim victory. Chickens aren't the only animals that players can work with - it's also possible to tame and ride raptors. There are quest objectives for those sorts of tasks as well, so XP-hungry gamers have a lot of animal handling on their to-do list.

How to Chicken Glide at Colossal Crops in Fortnite

Players looking to complete the "Chicken Glide at Colossal Crops" quest should head to that locality as soon as possible. Colossal Crops is just northeast of the Spire at the center of the island. The next order of business is to track down a chicken, and luckily there's a point nearby where chickens always spawn. Using the pond at the western edge of the Colossal Crops as a landmark, players should search the area near the road where the orange autumn-colored grass turns green. The exact spot is marked on the map below.

Once a chicken has been found, the player must manage to grab the timid creature. Crouching and sneaking up behind the chicken works best, although running straight at the animal while mashing the interact button can work just as well. When the button prompt appears, it's a simple matter of pressing the button before the chicken runs or wanders out of range. With the chicken in hand, the player character will glide whenever they jump. Doing this within the confines of the Colossal Crop area will mark the quest as complete.

There are other locations where chickens spawn across the island, though the location near Colossal Crops is most convenient for the sake of this quest. It could be prudent to track down chickens elsewhere though, as many other players may be stalking the Colossal Crops area as they try to complete the same quest. Colossal Crops was already a popular zone as is, so players should be ready for a shootout. Clever gamers can even use their newfound chicken gliding abilities to inch closer to a Victory Royale.

Fortnite is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
