Can we please catch the chickens

[mrduck]

There are not enough eggs in the game. I love cooking and currently have over 100 Hobo Stew. But I'd like more blueberry pie. Can you please consider adding a way to catch, cage, and raise chickens for eggs (and possible meat)?

i agree 100%

Nice idea a trap for small animals would be nice, life trap for chicken and killing trap for rabbits. I hate roaming around the country just to loot nests in hope to find some eggs, baccon and eggs rules^^

I think part of why there are fewer eggs later in the game when we have better recipes is because we gave vehicles. We miss many of the nests as we drive past, and even if we see them we're less likely to stop.

But hey I still agree it would be nice to keep chickens for eggs!

You can get eggs just by chopping down trees. Run around with a chainsaw.

Is that a perk, or a book or something?

There is no perk or book in vanilla that gives eggs when chopping down trees. That must have been a mod.

While we are talking about chickens the quest “nail some chickens” is bugged I completed it and went to trader and nothing happened lol

Nope, must of been a mod almost 700 hours and not once has this happend

I would imagine they don't want to add raising chickens because it would make eggs too easy to obtain in the long run.

I'm currently on week 16 and I have so much food I had to make two separate crates. One for cooked food/meat and one for canned goods. I'm swimming in pumpkin and blueberry pies with plenty of eggs to spare.

If you want more eggs just head to the burned or desert biomes. Nests are much easier to see in those areas.

I do like an idea to add animal husbandry to the game. It would be a great addition.

Raising livestock would probably be too much of a pain to add. But I think trapping skill would be a good thing to add.

Maybe three levels.

Level 1 - allows you to craft simple snares capable of catching rabbits and chickens.
Level 2 - steel cage traps, capable of trapping wolves and deer
Level 3 - bear traps - capable of catching and immobilizing anything, including zombies

Traps could work similarly to player vending machines, in that you set them and simply check back later for a chance to have a catch. You can have as many traps as you care to craft, but only one trap per chuck can catch anything per day. (i.e. you can't put down 100 traps in one chunk and catch 100 rabbits)

I can just imagine the Egg Station, where you put in 2 Corn Meal and 1 real-hour later it yields an Egg.

There is a mod to add chicken coops to the game.
