Life of a chicken farm#

Life of a chicken farm

Here’s a reworked section that retains tables, adheres to list rules and h2 headings, and doesn’t break paragraphs into lines:

Buying chickens for the farm#

Once built, the chicken farm is empty. To purchase chickens, click “Buy Chickens” on the farm page and purchase up to 20 at 0.5 gold each.

  • You can buy 20 chickens at once for an empty farm.
  • If you already have chickens on your farm, but there are less than 20 of them, you can purchase the missing amount at 0.5 gold for each individual.
  • Once the flock reaches 20 or more, no more chickens can be purchased. The only way to increase the flock is through breeding.
  • When the herd size is reduced to less than 20 individuals, the possibility of purchasing under the same rules appears.

Feeding chickens#

Adult chickens feed themselves once a day. With the Energy System Wonder of the World, feeding can be streamlined. Immediately after feeding, chickens begin producing.

The recommended daily feed intake for one hen is 0.1 grains per day. The feeder must be replenished regularly. Feed can be stored for several days or months. Insufficient feed reduces productivity proportionally. A complete lack of feed leads to the cessation of egg production.

Flax and chicken health elixirs can be added to the diet.

Feeding chickens with flax#

Experts have developed a flax-enriched diet to improve the chicken’s nutritional status. The recommended daily intake is 0.05 kg of flax per chicken.

  • Increasing production eggs in egg production mode.
  • Increased resistance to diseases.

Flax can be purchased at a commodity exchange or grown yourself.

Circumstances affecting the life of chickens#

Chickens are subject to unpredictable events with known probabilities.

Table. Probability of life-threatening circumstances occurring for a chicken

EventProbability, %
Death from old age2.5
Theft2.5
Death from disease15

No more than one event of each type can occur per day for every 20 hens. As the flock size increases, the number of possible events increases, but the probability of each remains the same. All events occur during feeding and production.

How to reduce the negative impact of events#

It’s impossible to prevent death from old age or theft. Chickens won’t die from disease if there’s enough “Chicken Health” elixir in the feeder (one elixir per sick chicken). Adding flax to the diet reduces the likelihood of death from disease from 15% to 5%. If the diet is incomplete, the effect is proportional.
