Don't have PTS but been watching. Built a sloped pen. It has the food at the top on flat flooring, wide wooden stairs sloping down, and a stone fire embedded (just above where the eggs will roll down) in a pillar at the base of the slope. Hoping eggs will roll down, chickens will run away after due to fire, and hens will chill on the sloped part in order to eat/produce more eggs.

But can they fight!!??? Needs Chicun army 😤

I have built a breeder with 8 chickens, it produces so many eggs its insane, nothing else can be bred so fast and easy as chickens

Life uh, finds a way.

Chicken master ! ty for the tips

You can use Dandelions also. That's what I use and a Crypt to breed them

8:07 I wonder if the space detection is similar to wolves & boar. As long as a part of their body is above a surface area, it will count it as free space. That's how a lot of the factory farms work, where you make the animal peek its head through the wall which causes it to detect the floor outside the wall with its head. Hens seem too small for that to work but it could be worth a try with Cage Wall or Dvergr Metal Wall.

Awesome as always!

Adult hens also do not like fire. It will cause them to cower or bunch up in a corner. That makes them less likely to find food set down for them and slow down egg production.

Prefect I will try that. Can chickens eat Danelions and can wolfs eat raw and cook chicken meat?

Seeing this video, I have reached the conclusion that you need 2 chicken farms. Chicken farm 1 for eggs Chicken farm 2 for live chickens to turn into meat.

Thank you for doing the work so that I don't have to!

So I have a question, if you have two chickens in a raised building, kind of high up, and have them breed and the eggs they lay fall down (not sure how to do this part) onto the ground, near a fire, and have them hatch, I wonder if that could work. I think I recall seeing someone make a wolf-breeder similar to this way and I'm curious if it could be re-purposed for chickens,

If you wanna breed 20 chickens efficiently, build a 10x15 pen, and put seeds near each corner. You will be swimming in eggs in no time. I get 20 eggs after about 30 minutes of play, and I'm only breeding with 10 hens.

Tell me you have been traumatized by zelda without telling me.

I would like to point out that it is much more space efficient to use a larger pen. In the space you used for 4 pens and spacing between them, you could have instead combined that into one pen and let the same hens run free in that uniform space. They will give you 20 to 30 eggs before stopping production. So don't bother with the 2x2 pens, go 10x10 and breed with 8 to 10 hens. Cover a small corner so it is very unlikely any eggs will hatch. You can now use that corner to replenish your hens should you lose or harvest any. Now you will be swimming in eggs.

@silascz3535

Жыл бұрын

One more, important enhancement for breeding chickens. Build a double wall around the perimeter. The hens love to glitch through walls, even the thick stone blocks. To prevent them from doing that, build the outer wall, then run an inner wall with the half high wooden walls (easy to jump and see over) all the way around the inside of your outer wall. You should space the inner wall 1 meter from the outer wall, giving some walking space in there. Now when the hens glitch through the half wall, you can pen them off, break open the half wall, and push them back inside the pen. Simple fix, and it really argues for a single large pen, as the double wall and hen management is much easier in a single large pen than with a bunch of 2x2 pens spread about.

was thinking the exact same thing. by the explanation having two times a 1X2 with two chickens each yielding 8 eggs for a total of 16 would seem the most effecient considering the number of chickens you need. maybe this has something to do with the fact that the coops have to be 6 blocks apart and this would be less space efficient overall?

@silascz3535

Жыл бұрын

That is not correct. Starve them all you like, they won't die. What they will do is jump in any accessible fire, and burn themselves up. The chickens love to do this, and you will get no drops from a burnt chicken. The other behavior they love is teleporting through walls. Eventually all your chickens will free themselves of your pen and wander off to be killed elsewhere. To stop this, use a double wall to pen them in. My strategy is to use the super large stone blocks for the outer wall - at least 2 blocks high, use a much bigger pen than described here (10x10 or larger), breed 8 to 12 hens, and use a second inner wall of the half height wooden wall, spaced 1 to 2 meters inside the other wall. Then when a hen teleports through the first wall, you will see them. Box them in, box a space in the coop area adjacent to them (so other hens don't get in your way), and then break the inner wall in between those spaces so you can push the cheater back home. No lost hens, and lots and lots of eggs. No need for an auto breeder.

Because the eggs sometimes spawn or hatch through the wall, I surrounded that with a 1 wide walkway around all four sides and used the low walls again. A bit of a pain to upkeep but worth it. Outside this, in line with the roofed section (but I don't think placing is super important), I built my campfire, with a roof covering it to protect it from rain - I keep that with at least 3 or 4 wood (fuel) in it in case I am exploring and don't get back to base for a day or two.
