What is the maximum ammount of eggs in your coop if left untouched?

[BraindeadBogan]

I have a big coop with 4 chickens and 1 duck. I gather the eggs every day. Could I skip a few days or would that result in the animals not laying eggs due to there being too much laying around since they would?

I'm not sure of the max number but you can definitely leave the chicken coop alone for a few days (providing you have the upgraded coop that automatically feeds the animals) and come back in a few days to collect a lot of eggs and wool.

Thanks. Could you give me a rough estimate of how many there would have been laying around when you didn't check in a few days. Ist it 10, 15 or 20+? xp

If you'd like, I can do a test regarding all of this

4 chickens & 1 duck right, any certain colours?
(Of chickens, brown white void or blue?)

I know I have left safely for 2 days and harvested on the 3rd (full coop upgrade). I had chicken rabbits and ducks. I might have to give that a test just out of curiosity's sake. lol

I as far as I know the max amount of eggs/items that can be inside a coop in one time is limited on the size of the coop. For example, if your coop has 20 spaces the max is 20 eggs/items. This is just what I've noticed though.

You can keep waiting for as long as there's still any free spaces in the coop floor.

Quick figger: Chickens lay daily, Ducks lay every second day or occasionally drop a feather. So in 2 weeks there might be 22ish items on the floor.. probably room for one more week in a Big Coop.

So that means I would get 96 eggs in a deluxe coop if left alone long enough? I really doubt that. Is that possible?

OK, so I did unintentional testing on it: had wine in casks mature and while picking up / loading them again skipped a day of harvest. Both delux coops, all animals petted and let outside daily (well, except this one day - but they were happy still).

Results:
- one coop with 2 ducks and 5 rabbits had a feather, an egg, rabbit foot, and 3 wools. Regularly in 1 day I would see a feather OR an egg (or none at all since ducks only produce every other day), and either up to 3 wools OR a foot and maybe a wool (or, again, nothing). So if you have less than max amount left untouched it will collect on the floor.
- another coop with 12 chickens of various colors had only 12 eggs, and chickens lay them daily. So we can safely assume that whatever overflows the max capacity of the coop is lost.

Conclusion: max capacity of your coop is how much eggs or other drops you can accumuate before it's going to waste.

Hope this helps. If anybody else wants to test it further would be interested if this theory can be disproven.
BTW, I'm still playing non-beta version and update isn't out yet. Not sure how it would work with auto-harvester or whatever Marnie sells in a new version.
