Efficiency and Animals

[Seizure]

I have been playing with my animals today, getting all my cows in a row.
Thought it might be a good time to brag a little about my setup, and see if anyone has anything better?

Im sure you may have more, but I doubt it looks as good as mine.



Males get the southern row (baby male sheep is hidden behind the chair).
Already preggy or waiting to be sexed females in the rows north of it.
Milking cow in the last row.

One coop to poop out high Q fertalized eggs, one coop for chickens sit on the eggs/chicks while they grow(no cocks ).

It strangely reminds me of Death Mountain from Zelda II...

If I were you, I'd place the troughs outside the fences, for easier access and/or replacement.
Other than that, we've pretty much got the same basic idea,
although I've separated the sheep form the cows through an aisle in the middle,
and that's also where I keep my troughs.

Why do you separate them?

Kaka: Do animals telefeed? I was under the impression that was just for babys

psyknx: Helps keep track of them, and keep the herd under control. They breed when I want them to, and thats just a small matter of pulling the male into the female pen. I separate my milk and breeding cows for a simple reason. I want milk, yet I do not want to have to worry about the babies of the breeders taking my milking cows milk. That and I want extra food on hand for the preggy cows, so they get the extra trough.

Its not completely set up though, as I have only 1 female.


-goes back to the drawing board-

Kaka: Do animals telefeed?

Why yes. When you build a trough, you'll notice that it has a radius, just like the beehives. ;)

[Seizure]

I figured that was the radius that animals would recognize that there was a trough to be honest.

I think mine looks better

what are you doing with so many chickens?

you want their meat or eggs?

[Potjeh]

Meat. But mostly it's because the bigger the number of eggs, the better your odds of getting good ones. I already have a q19 egg set to hatch ^_^.

[Flocke]

okay, but it's a long way to increase the FEP they give

maybe we get a chicken soup sooner or later...
