Fat hens come from different climates, with most species being at home in the temperate zones of the northern hemisphere. Some fat hens are also found in the subtropical and tropical regions of Africa, Asia or South America. Depending on their origin, certain species prefer rather humid or rather dry soils, where they all have in common the preference for sunny locations. However, there are also Fetthennen species that also feel at half shady locations.
