Purple Heart 

After expanding your Chicken Coop, Rick will come by to ask you to take care of their 5 chickens because of her mother's frail condition. Rick also offer to give you more Chicken Feed and claim all their chicken's egg.

Accepting the offer will make you obligated to take care of their chicken. At these days, the Poultry Farm will be closed. Rick will be back after some days and will take back all their chickens in your coop. If he mentions that their chicken is sick, he might lose points for you. Opposite if the chickens are healthy.

Putting at least one of your chicken's outside the coop before skipping the day will trigger the event the instant you went outside of your house.

Rick will warn you that putting your chickens outside their coop without protection might be harmful for their health.
