how to collect chicken eggs automatically?

[VladK02]

What title says. Chickens lay unfertilized eggs, but by default they are left alone. How to change that?

have a stockpile for unfurtilized eggs that doesnt allow fertilized eggs

I thought chickens lay fertillized eggs?

Depends if you have the roosters with the chickens or not what they lay

[Ashardalon]

only when there is a rooster
reptiles only lay egs after fertilizations
but chickens will lay eggs no matter what and if there is no rooster they will be unfertilized

Yeah, but how to force pawns to pick up the eggs from the farm area and bring them to the stockpile? By default when chicken drops the egg on the ground, it has a little red cross on it, like pickup disabled.

are your chickens roaming in your homezone?

Set a stock zone to allow unfert eggs.

no, just outside.

things that drop outside of homezone wil be forbidden but corpses or eggs that drop inside your homezone will be allowed automatically
i suggest the seperate clean zone mod so you dont constantly clean after your chikens

this way you can repair things and grab al corpses without cleaning outside
