If you played Grow A Garden during the winter event, you may have seen a small black bird walking around other players' farms. That pet is the French Hen. It looks simple, but it has a useful bonus for Christmas plants. In this guide, I'll explain what the French Hen is, how to get it, what it does, and whether it is worth using in your garden on Roblox.
The French Hen is an Uncommon, Limited pet from the Christmas Harvest Event in Grow A Garden.
Because the event is seasonal, this pet does not drop all year. Once the Christmas event ends, the French Hen becomes harder to get, which gives it some extra value for collectors.

The French Hen has a clean, blocky look that fits the Grow A Garden style well.
It has a dark black body, a short red beak, and light gray feet. On its head, you can see a small white cap, which makes it easy to tell apart from normal birds.
The design feels festive but not flashy. When it walks around your farm, it stands out just enough without being distracting.
The main way to get the French Hen was through Santa's Surprise Present, an item from the Christmas Harvest Event.
Here are the drop chances from Santa's Surprise Present:
| Item | Chance |
|---|---|
| Cookie Stack | 24.23% |
| Poinsettia | 15% |
| Antlerbloom | 8% |
| Holly Berry | 2.5% |
| Gift Berry | 0.5% |
| Snow Bunny | 24.23% |
| French Hen | 15% |
| Christmas Gorilla | 8% |
| Mistletoad | 2.5% |
| Krampus | 0.05% |
A 15% chance is fairly friendly for an event pet. If you opened several presents during the event, there was a good chance you got one.
If you missed the event or had bad luck with presents, the French Hen pet can also be bought from U4GM.
The listed price is $1.99, which is quite low compared to many limited pets.
Christmas Hen
Christmas-type plants within the pet's range get an increased size multiplier.
This bonus is simple but useful. Bigger plants usually mean better harvest value, so the French Hen works best in Christmas-themed farms.
This is a normal hunger value. You don't need to feed it too often, which makes it easy to manage.
Because it is Uncommon, the French Hen is not rare in the usual sense. However, it is limited to a seasonal event, which adds long-term value.
The low price also makes it attractive. For under $2, you get a pet that boosts Christmas plants and fits well into themed farms. From a value point of view, it is a low-risk, useful pickup, especially if you like event content.

Then buying the French Hen makes sense. The price is low, and the pet has a clear role.

No, if you already moved on from event plants. In that case, it becomes more of a cosmetic or collection pet.
The French Hen is an Uncommon, limited pet from the Christmas Harvest Event in Grow A Garden. It boosts the size of Christmas plants, has easy upkeep, and comes at a very low price. It is not a must-have for everyone, but for seasonal farms and collectors, it offers solid value with almost no downside.
