Lost and Found Co Lost Chicks: Where to Find Missing Hens and Ducklings

Is There a "Lost Chicks" Objective in Lost and Found Co.?

If you have been combing through Lost and Found Co. looking for something labeled "lost chicks," you are not imagining the search — but you may be working from the wrong wording. In the objective checklists we reviewed, no task uses that exact phrase. The closest verified matches are "Find the missing hens" in Muddy Situation! and "Find the missing ducklings" in Missing Meow, with a third bird-related task, "Rescue the duckling in bubble," appearing in Problem in Paradise.

That matters because the game's clue text is what actually drives the counter. If you are scanning a room for the words "lost chicks," you will never see a checkmark appear. You need to know the stage and the real objective name first.

Objective names above come from Casual Game Guides' main and optional objectives checklist, which catalogs tasks by stage. It does not include a "lost chicks" entry.

The Bird Objectives, Stage by Stage

Find the missing hens — Muddy Situation! (Amazing Jungle)

This is the strongest candidate for what players remember as "lost chicks." Muddy Situation! is a story case set in Amazing Jungle, and the hen task sits alongside a fairly busy objective board: talking to Badu, finding things that go KABOOM, locating a film director, comforting a crying baby, and spotting masked warriors.

Because the hen objective is one of several in the same scene, it is easy to finish the loud, obvious tasks and forget a quiet one. Check your objective list after every few finds rather than trusting your memory of what is left.

Find the missing ducklings — Missing Meow (Nekoten Cafe)

Missing Meow is a Request stage at Nekoten Cafe, and its board is long: a secret rats' party, toy mice, a pretty cat, a cat-cannon, a Cat Lady, a wallet, and more. The ducklings are tucked into that same chain-heavy list.

Note the repeated "Collect all toy mice" entry on the checklist — a sign that some tasks in this stage reopen after you complete them. Do not assume a stage is done the moment one objective disappears from your list.

Rescue the duckling in bubble — Problem in Paradise (Eden Salon)

The Eden Salon request asks you to free a duckling trapped in a bubble, alongside tasks like finding colorful syrup, uncovering a secret HR room, and locating missing tools. A bubble is exactly the kind of prop the game likes to place at the edge of a shelf or counter, half-behind something else.

If you actually meant kittens

Players sometimes lump all the baby-animal hunts together. The verified kitten task lives in The Morning Madness at Leo Family's Home, where you also hunt socks, a thief in black, and a secret agent room.

How to Search for Small Birds Without Wasting an Hour

Small, pale, feathered objects are the worst-case scenario in a hidden object game — they blend into clutter and their hitboxes are tiny. The general search advice from Casual Game Guides' walkthrough applies directly here:

• Scan in layers. Start with the skyline and anything hanging, then shelves and counters, then floor clutter. Clear one zone fully before moving to the next.
• Click the center of the object, not the edge. Awkward hitboxes cause a lot of false misses on small targets.
• Zoom and pan instead of clicking blind. Tiny props are usually a zoom problem, not a perception problem.
• Change floors or rooms as soon as furniture starts stacking on itself.
• Open the prop first. Signs, shelf lips, window frames, trays, drawers, and boxes often need one click before the real target appears.

That last point is the one that catches most players on bird objectives. If a clue feels vague, the answer is frequently inside something clickable rather than sitting in the open.

Obscured vs. Quest: Why the Last Chick Stays Missing

Two labels explain almost every stalled cleanup run. Obscured means the item is hidden inside or behind something you can click. Quest means finding it unlocks further targets in the same chain — so a room that looks finished may not be.

If a stage refuses to go green, one of those two rules is usually the reason. Stay in the same room and let the chain resolve before you move on, rather than bouncing between stages.

When to Spend Juju (and When Not To)

Juju are the game's hidden helper collectibles, and catching them grants extra hints for later item hunts. The temptation is to burn one the second a room annoys you — that is usually a waste.

Save the hint until you have already narrowed the problem to one stubborn item or one stubborn zone. Do a broad sweep first, then let the hint point you toward the right corner of the room. On a hen or duckling hunt, that means clearing every other objective on the board before you ask for help with the bird.

One more tip worth internalizing: trust shape over wording. Localization can make an object name sound stranger than the thing on screen, but the art stays consistent. A folded bill counts as a wallet; a small bird may be tucked into a shelf seam.

Where to Get Screenshot-Level Help

Text checklists tell you what to find; they rarely tell you where. For pixel-level help, the Lost and Found Co. guide hub on Steam hosts community walkthroughs, including full-objective lists and video solutions for every level.

For large annotated screenshots, KosGuides' screenshot walkthrough by AtlasofStars circles main objectives in red, optional items in white, and Juju in purple across chapters and side missions. It is explicitly labeled a work in progress, so treat gaps as gaps rather than as proof that an item does not exist.

FAQ

Is there a Lost and Found Co lost chicks collectible I'm missing? No objective by that exact name appears in the verified objective checklists. If you are hunting baby birds, the tasks to look for are "Find the missing hens" in Muddy Situation! and "Find the missing ducklings" in Missing Meow.

Which stage has the missing hens? Muddy Situation!, a story case set in Amazing Jungle. The hens share the board with objectives involving Badu, a film director, a crying baby, and masked warriors.

Do I need the ducklings for full completion? They are listed among the named objectives for Missing Meow at Nekoten Cafe. Clear the main chain first, then work through the remaining named side tasks in the same room so chain objectives can resolve.

Why can't I find the last bird even after watching a video? Check whether the objective is labeled Obscured — meaning it is inside or behind a clickable prop — or Quest, meaning it unlocks more targets after the first find. Then zoom in, click the center of the object, and let the chain finish before leaving the room.
