You'll cover your chicken coop in less than two years. If you go half and half, selling half the flock whenever the other half reaches maturity, you will make a profit of $23,660 ($18,900 + $12,660 - $7,900) in six months, or $47,320/year. That includes 10,800 liters of Barley, selling it to myself at $676/1,000 liters ($7300), and $100/month for property maintenance ($600).įinal analysis: If you maximize egg production (360 mature chickens), you will make a profit of $29,900 in six months ($37,800 income - $7,900 expenses) or $59,800/year. I estimated expenses for the entire coop for six months at about $7,900. Over the six months maturing time, the 180 chicks produced 3,270 eggs. If you were going to sell, this would be the ideal time (not earlier), because they also produce eggs during this time, with their egg production increasing each month. It would only cost $15 in total fees to sell them. At the end of six months, the 180 chicks mature to a total value of $4,500. So the cost of feeding chickens or chicks is the same. They also consume the exact same amount of food, regardless of their age (5Ltr/month). If I figure I can sell around the high price point on normal settings ($2,500/1,000 L), I'll make $18,900 income in 6 months.Ĭhicks take six months to mature, and they mature at a linear rate of four dollars a month. So 180 chickens x 7 liters x 6 months = 7560 liters of eggs. I already know that mature chickens produce 7 liters of eggs per month. It would take six months for the chicks to mature. The next month I had 180 chicks, so the coop was half and half. I kept the 180 that were reproducing that month. In the large chicken coop, I sold off half the chickens. If anyone knows any ways of fixing these issues I'd be more than happy to know.Are you better off maxing chickens in the coop for egg production or leaving room for the chickens to breed. Only one thing of wool will appear after hours and hours of ingame hours passing and multiple messages about there not being enough room for more crates. I am having the same issue with sheep that I do with chickens. So now I have to sell them one at a damn time and it's annoying. If I sell two at the same time, regardless of taking them directly to the animal dealer or selling from the pen itself, I only get just over 34k.


Keep in mind they are fully trained, worth 50k each.

When you go to sell horses, or at least when I go to sell, I will sell two at the same time. I started with horses and I love them, but here is a glitch you may encounter so I recommend watching out for it. It's really annoying and makes having chickens a huge burden. When the chickens begin their laying of eggs, I get prompt after prompt that states there is no room for the eggs, but they eventually do start coming in. I also "delete" any crop that is growing near it.

I also make sure that I don't have any equipment near the spawn area for the eggs. When I first place the coop I quadruple check and there is nothing around it. I will wait for days and more will not appear. The thing about it is that whenever the eggs start coming in, they only spawn one box. I thought they would be lucrative since egg prices are always so high. So, I've encountered two glitches that are rather annoying.
