Chickens

[Animalman]

A) they can exit a closed hatch hutch.
B) i really like them.
its cute
the types is cute.
the potential is real cute i like it.
They are fun and they escape the pen if u leave the door open.

but they also exit the hutch when the door is closed.

The Weight down Moodle is pretty bad aswell.
There is no such thing as a Weight Up moodle.
like there is a Cold down and Cold Up.
Weight Down could just be a full weight in there make it more obvious ball and chain waas a good one originally. Encumbered.
I don't like the new hunger either it looks to zombified fork and knife. Kind of sinister look to it.
I don;t like the Fear icon with the gaping mouth because it look like a response to
wont go into it.

well i had been with the chcieksn a few days now

and i don't see them eating the hay that was in there when i arrived, I put this corn in there. idk if it works

There are tonnes of eggs though. and idk what happens, if the eggs they dont sit on are rejected or what, but one of them sits on a row with an egg indicates maybe that egg will hatch ?

Wahts the deal?
what the scoop? Is this a love trap? they gunna die?

Chickens like grass in real life, so find a scythe and cut some long grass for them, they appreciate it and its better for them than just hay, the corn would be a nice treat, though that can will likely go bad before they feel like getting to it. That trough looks quite full, so you should be alright.

As for the breeding process... I have no idea. I suspect it has something to do with the egg door on the hutch, perhaps you leave that open and the rooster can get to the hens? So long as the pen is enclosed they shouldn't be able to get out of the fence.
If the rooster can't fertilize the eggs, the chickens will never have chicks, so i would assume that's what the door on the egg box side of the hutch is for... but I don't really know.

door will be maybe incubation
nice info though, i actually pulled some grass clippings from the old dying farms. But didn't realise at that point that the trough is a real loot container. anyways 29 is an odd value they are probably ate 1, but they don't seem to eat much.

also can't confirm i have a rooster i have idea if one is male he might be. he brown but thats because he not the same species as the other 3. i cant say that its a rooster though i don't know its not made any noise and acts like a chicken. i petted them all. and they bond and stuff and i wonders.
i wonders indeed.

i thought maybe a rooster might have green feathers

The power went out, and my chicken hutch, did not produce any chicks. The refrigerator I was keeping the eggs in however... I found a chick in my fridge.

So my guess is the door does fertilize the eggs (Or at least allows the rooster to be in the henhouse) and you toss the eggs into a crate somewhere, and check it every once in a while for chicks.

Depends on the breed, Roosters have large tailfeathers and a very pronounced comb on their head compared to the females, If the color of their feathers are dull and short, they are just hens.

You will need a rooster for the eggs to be fertile. Be warned, roosters HATE other roosters.
