Sorghum grows much faster! I can use the field to grow grass (for silage) afterwards. Nobody is buying the food, so determining the overall profit by basing it on the buy prices isn't a good way to compare this. You should instead look at the time invested, yield, and growth duration of these 3 foods.

I feed them Barley. It’s not just about the worth of the crop it’s about the yield on Barley. Which puts wheat and Sorghum to shame per acre. I’ve got two smallish fields and it feeds the chickens year round for little cost.

Only reason I used sorghum was because you can also feed horses with it (instead of oat) Thank you for this

Thanks for your videos enjoy them greatly.. when i first started you were one of the first people i watch to figure FS22 out.

Thanks for making videos like these. I really enjoy comparison videos and the analysis part in Excel. Well done!

im glad your doing updated videos :)

This is eggactly the guide i was needing! Btw i knew that capital A would bother You 😂

Thanks for this guide FC. Traditionally I only grow corn (for cracked corn and cereal), wheat (for cakes) and oats (for cereal). I have been feeding my chickens wheat but wonder now if I should keep 100% of wheat for my productions (cakes) and use the profits from that to buy barley. Will have to have a look.

One thing to note, in base game there is no (that I know of) buying station for eggs so if you have a bakery you need chickens.

I guess it depends on the map, but I like doing wheat if you can double plant the field with soybeans during the same year. Wheat for chicken feed and soybean for profit.

Always enjoy your detailed look into animals in FS22, Thanks!

It would be interesting to see how the eggs integrate into products that use eggs. Are you planning on a video to estimate setup costs for producing food that would include eggs in them?

I currently have a massive spreadsheet that calculates monthly production incomes, months to recoup building costs, and it also will tell you the most efficient equipment setup for however many hectares your farm. I have a few more things I want to add to it then I’ll post some videos on it.

My chick says you sound like gonzo from muppets👍 a personal fav of ours lol. Nice video, will have saved me a lot of time!

Thanks for this. Was JUST about to feed my chickens some sorghum.

Enhanced Animals mod is great. Appreciate the vanilla review either way!

Thanks for the vid - I have the bakery which I want to expand from bread to cakes so need eggs (I have greenhouses for strawberries and a sugar mill)

I buy 45 chickens each day till they start reproducing. I sell them at 7 months, they have produced another 45 chickens so I no longer have to buy any. I thought they started producing eggs before 6 months.

Any chance you can do how to get 100% yeild (or highest) on grapes? ive watched a ton of vids still confusing as heck what order to do things for max yeild.

that was really interesting to find out thanks for that

I always put 1 rooster in my chicken coop

Thank you, good information.

Very useful video and excellent community comments.

Was there a difference in number of eggs produced between the wheat, barley, and sorghum? It looks like you only show combined totals for all three.

Not gonna get rich off of them. Tell me youve never done chickens without telling me. Chickens are extremely profitable especially if you run around a thousand chickens. Save your eggs til November and sell them for huge profit.

The profit is per chicken and the coop holds 360, so would you multiply that end cost by 360? That seems like a lot if so.

@jordananderson2728

It would be a waste to purchase that many chickens; since they produce a chick every 2 months once they turn 6, and those produce every 2 months once they turn 6, and et cetera and so forth, you'll have filled the coop off of natural breeding very quickly. You should probably only buy 20 or so; after a year those 20 will have become 80, after another year those 80 will have become the full 360 for the coop. So for an initial investment of 40 + coop, then your feed costs, after 2 years you will be making the 4k/mo shown in video.

If i understood that right..? Buy 60 chicks every month for 6 months, sell the oldest 60 every month starting at 7 months. Make $1140 and 1200 eggs for 2160L of grain every month.

I know sorghum is expensive but I like it because if the field is a decent size you can set some aside for your chickens and sell the rest. And yes I do know you can do this with the other two but I think sorghum sells for more per liter.

Do they still eat 6 litres of food a day if the month length is longer/shorter?

Should be 6 per month regardless of the number of days. Doesn't everyone play on 1 day months anyway?

Only reason I use sorghum is that it is pretty much the quickest crop to grow.

Everyone passes by the roosters, but did you know that they are worth quite a lot? you buy them cheap, raise them and then sell them for a lot of profit

Does the profit come from eggs or from selling adult chickens? I think I gathered you just let them gro to adult, max the pen population and just sell the eggs.

I stole 120k sorghum off a farm I bought and resold, there were no harvestable wheat fields in the save I started. I saw the thumbnail and panicked but it was because it’s expensive not for any other reason. /phew

When you grow your own animal food, you need to watch the yield per acre - Barley produces slightly more than Wheat, but it's worth less - but only insofar as the sale value per acre is near enough the same. If you do pigs, then there would be a similar consideration for canola/soybeans/sunflower options.
