How to Build a Chicken Farm
Before being able to build a chicken farm, you will need chickens. And before chickens, we require eggs. And yes, we could have a discussion of who came first, but you have got to know that eggs are locked in the game until you defeat the Yagluth. After that, eggs will be able to be purchased from the trader. They will cost 1500 coins each, and you will need a minimum of two. Next, you would want to know how to build a chicken farm:
- Build a chicken coop of three meters.
- Build a fireplace and cover it with a barricade.
- Place the eggs near the fireplace to keep them warm. Don’t place them in stacks, they won’t hatch.
- The eggs will hatch in a day.
- Once hatched, you will need to feed the chicken with any seed (one seed per day, per chicken).
- Keep the coop closed, otherwise we will have a Chicken Run situation.
- Once two chicken grow completely (after 2 days), they will start to lay eggs.
- Keep seed stacks available, so you don’t have to worry about feeding them yourself.
