Are hens and cocks monogamous?
I have one cock and several hens in the coop, but only one hen lays eggs.
Do I have to get alot more cocks?
You only need one Rooster/Cock per coop as far as I know. Mine has one Rooster and many Hens and my coop steadily produces eggs and chicks.

Each hen will take around 1 real life day to lay an egg. Be sure to leave a space below the hen or it will not give an egg

Hens will lay eggs without a cock in the Chicken Coop, but they will not be fertilized.

Note that Hens must have a space directly below them to lay eggs and fertilized eggs must be under the hens for it to hatch. The timer will stop after some time, if there is no chicken above the egg. Chicks must have a 2x2 tile space, a total of 4 tiles, to mature into chickens.

From the wiki.

However, I don't know if having more Roosters in the coop makes the eggs hatch faster. Like, it takes time for a rooster to fertilize an egg? or once layed and egg automatically becomes fertilized and the timer starts counting down for it to hatch if a Rooster is present in the coop?

The timer starts right away, and multiple roosters don't accomplish anything.

One does not have rooster fights, one has cock fights.

Besides, nobody else has done better at making the "clean" use of the word look so dirty:

Thanks for the help. One of the cocks has been put to death. Several of the hens are laying eggs.

Do multiple drinks of tea increase the build up faster than a single drink?

If so, is it better to drink a bunch all at once, or over time? (for prepping to logout)

When drinking tea of different qualities, does it average the bonus relevant to QL of both/all teas? or just the last tea ql?

what happens to someone when they have logged out but then someone constructs something where they were standing? Will the game just displace them until they fit or will it randomly spawn them somewhere else?

You have a choice to spawn at your hearthfire. If you don't have a hearthfire then you spawn in the wilderness.

Ive never noticed a quicker build up with multiple drinks of tea. It will regain stamina with each drink but I dont think it affects the buff. As for different quality tea its not being mixed like two qualities of wine but being ingested. I would think the last quality you drink would override the first. I could be wrong. Here is the wiki info.

I've been to the wiki, it doesn't answer any of those questions.

Surely someone has some "best practices" they can share. For now i'm filling 3 mugs at once, and downing all 3 right after the other. It does increment the time, but I haven't timed the "ticks" to see if they changed vs a single drink. I tried just one drink, and it nearly ran out before it was 100%.

Does the quality of the mug or teapot affect the bonus either?
