Chicken Eggs (big)

[demona3]

So my chickens are max level love or whatever, they are all producing Big Chicken Eggs - I cannot give them for requests on the board or use them in recipes. Please fix this. Seriously, who cares if they are big or little?

in the cooking table when looking at recipes some of them have an option to scroll through the needed ingredient. eg if it needs a 'chicken egg' or 'milk' the option will let you scroll through to find the 'big egg' or 'high quality milk'

it appears as an arrow key on the sides of the number of items being made.

I appreciate you pointing it out. I didn't realize that option was there, but in terms of the "sausage roll", there is no option to use the "big chicken egg"

Well you can do one thing - don't feed the chickens for a day and there is a chance the eggs will be normal the next.

I got into the habit of selling my animals back to Irwin when they are full hearts and replacing them - this keeps me in stock with normal eggs and milk.

I keep two chickens at 5 star for big chicken eggs and two chickens at 1 or 2 stars to get the regular chicken eggs. It's just a matter of not petting them every day. Do the same with vombats too so you have regular milk and high quality milk. With the pleeps it doesn't matter. They produce only one kind of wool.

that never works for me - the animals always climb to 5 hearts in time anyway

No surprise the farm animals are content even without you petting them - the neighbors are constantly going into the enclosures to pet your animals or water our fields in their free time. I have considered removing the door and just jumping over the fence, because there have been several occasions where they accidentally let the chickens out or dincus in x_x
As long as no dincus are around the chicken are relatively safe and they will return inside the enclosure at night, if you leave the gate open for them. Then you can close it after they fall asleep.

But I have started to sset up iron cages in front of the enclosure door and I basically catch a whole bunch of dincu every second day.
