You have them by a Chicken Coop?

You need a coop and feeding troughs. Troughs are storage, place grass cuttings in there, and you can place water into another one. I started in Muldraugh in a house with 4 chickens, already got 5 eggs in less than 3 days.

Yeah. I am using the farm north of Muldraugh as a base. It has the animal zone around the fenced area with chicken coop with food and water trough. All animals say healthy and not hungry nor thirsty.

Still wondering the deal with open or closed egg hatch door.

The only seem to lay eggs for me when the doors are open. I have an issue where none of my animals are maturing. Keep getting chicks but none grow. How long should it take? Been a couple of months now.

You mean the hutch door or egg doors?
I havent managed to get any chicks at all even when leaving eggs in the hutch.
Then again, lot of animal stuff might not be working correctly atm

Do you have boy chickens or girl chickens? Only girl chickens lay eggs.
