A Fortnite wooden hatchery looks like a crib or manger type structure for an alien baby, though quite why you need to construct a wooden hatchery instead of the extraterrestrials doing it isn't clear. What we do know is that for this legendary part of the Fortnite Week 7 quests, you need to find a suitable shack to house one of these cots then get to work constructing it. There aren't many places in Fortnite where you can do this, and from the outside it's not always obvious if a particular shack you've found can be used, so to help you out we've got all of the Fortnite wooden hatchery locations.

We've identified three Fortnite wooden hatchery locations around the island, which are all hidden within the small shack buildings we've tagged on the map above. Once inside, interact with the blue outline of the crib-like structure to construct a wooden hatchery – you'll need 50 wood mats, so if you don't have enough then chop down a nearby tree to stock up. If you'd like more information, we have specifics on the Fortnite wooden hatchery locations below.
