Genshin Impact has a lot of resources and materials to collect in the game, and the cooking system just means that there are dozens of food items to harvest and gather before you’re able to cook everything that’s available. Fowl is one such item, and unsurprisingly, it comes from birds.
In order to get fowl, you need to kill the birds you come across in the open world. There are also plenty of vendors in the game you can visit to just buy some fowl if you feel guilty about slaughtering them.

Where To Buy Fowl
If you want to buy up a bunch of Fowl in Genshin Impact, you’re in luck. Draff, who lives in Springvale, and spends most of his days standing outside of his house, will sell you fowl during the day.
Most vendors in Genshin Impact have a limited stock of items.
Once they're gone, most shops will restock the sold-out item after one day.
When you do finally find a vendor that is willing to sell you raw materials and resources for your adventure, recipe, whatever, they will limit their inventory to only ten pieces of whatever you’re buying. And Fowl is no different.
You can buy ten stacks of fowl from Draff, and his stock will refresh after one real-world day. Draff also sells raw meat, which is handy.
Where To Farm Fowl In Genshin Impact
If you can’t buy any more fowl from Draff and you’re still in need, it’s time to get hunting. This is probably obvious, but fowl is gathered from killing birds.
Any bird will do, but they don’t always gather in the same place. All you need to do is sneak up on the birds and take them down.
There is always a gathering of birds on the bridge leading into Mondstadt, but killing them will anger Timmie.
If they spot you before you can kill them, they will fly away. Stealth is your friend, as are long-range attacks from a bow.
If you're just starting your adventure, use the free character Amber to snipe them from a safe distance.
Birds will always gather at bodies of water, for example, the pond near Springvale (which you should visit after seeing Draff since they’re close by) or on the beaches.
Travel to ponds, check for birds, and then shoot them down, before travelling to a beach and doing the same.
There are plenty of beaches in Liyue, and you can spend literal hours walking along them and shooting the birds.
Sumeru is another popular spot to farm for Fowl.
Remember To Do Expeditions
You can also send out characters on Expeditions to gather Fowl. These either take four, eight, 12, or 20 hours to complete. Choosing 20-hour expeditions will reward you with the highest yield.
Talk to Katheryne and select the Expeditions option. You will have several areas on a map where you can send characters off to gather items.
Sending someone to Windrise in Mondstadt will net you some raw meat and fowl. If you're low on supplies, you should remember to do this each day.
