Chickens seem to eat more than they should comparitively

Postby Sevenless » Thu Oct 01, 2015 3:41 pm

Now that we've seen other livestock reduced in their consumption rate, chickens feel like they're eating a lot more than they should be.

My 3 cows and 2 sheep seem to be eating something like 15-25 units a day, while my 11 chickens seem to be eating 40-50 units of fodder a day or so. Which means a chicken is eating roughly as much as a cow is per day, and that feels off to me at least.

At least chickens can eat anything. Just feed them whatever you feel like. Boar meat? Sure why not. Bats? Yep go ahead. Frogs crowns? Yea bring em on. Solid gold? Yep.

You still end up feeding them grown produce since it's easy to mass produce, it's not really a complaint just a comment. I can easily feed my chickens, but it still feels weird that they eat so much compared to cows and such.

That being said I think my one chick ate 18 units of fodder yesterday, so maybe it's actually bugged as well.

Except earthworms. This small issue should be fixed imo..
