GUIDE TO CHICKENS - Farming Simulator 22

[@AClRCLEOFLlGHT]

Tip: Wheat takes 7 months to fully grow to harvest. Sorghum only takes 4 months, so with season restrictions off, you can get 2 harvests a year of Sorghum.

[@briansnead4787]

I feed my chickens the cheapest grain like sorghum... and then shoot them with steroids so they make them huge Zaxbys breasts. This is a Tyson mod...

[@Juan-rz6gx]

does this still apply ? 7 months ?

[@zgrif]

Wheat gives you the most yield per acre though so it’s more complicated than that, sorghum is pretty low on it’s yield ratio compared to wheat

[@creamythroat]

what the best game time settings? should i be sleeping each month away?? feels a little cheap to just plant harvest and run back to the house to sleep the year away?? am o doing this right?

[@QRLSpoon]

When i need to find something specific about profit or gameplay i always come check your channel first thanks 👌it help a lot for my series

[@swartwoodart2558]

the lifting limit seems to be around 200kg at least for logging, probably relates to egg lifting as well

[@briansnead4787]

Giants needs somewhere in between like the child it thinks our character is, and that mod where you can lift a whole round bale. Lol. I feel they could incorporate some way to get "country strong" on here to lift a pallet of eggs.

[@n4r0wl1]

I have a chicken pasture for nearly a year in the game. I feed the chickens with wheat from the store but when i get my eggs the egg pallet isnt loading more eggs and just stoos at the 170 pieces. Anyone knows why?

[@recovantage9623]

Whats the best way to transport eggs to sell them

[@TARS27]

I have a question my chickens are stuck on producing pallets with one stack of eggs on them it doesn’t fill the pallets up what can I do to fix this

[@PenOkOh]

Stop, that intro was amazing. Felt kinda TV production in a way. Simply amazing work!

[@omerahmed5021]

What about the animal vehicle? That also makes food and I have no idea on how to use it

How many months should you keep chickens to sell

[@TTTakFN]

what trailer is that i cant find one to use to dump (im new)

These are great tutorials, quick and to the point. You are my go to source for FS22 info. Thanks!

[@wranglersaurusrex6896]

RAWR!!!! Thank you for this video. I’m new to fs and I’ve already studied your sheep videos.

[@aforawesomeness7611]

Hi!! I was wondering on how do you feed the chickens with the food pallets, because I can't seem to figure it out. Great video!

[@b9bot148]

Might be one of the easiest animals to start out with for sure.

[@Juan-rz6gx]

Best animal for beginner like me.

[@DaleBouwman]

My first animal easy peasy

[@Jce56]

Wasn’t there something about being able to auto sell the eggs?

[@samantharichardson6956]

I think you can get your worker to drive over there

[@FarmerCop]

Autosell production Items I believe is what you are referring to, but not for animal products

[@lenandov]

Is chicken poo a thing in Fs22? I was thinking of using it on crops. Thanks

[@SuburbanFarmer96]

you can lift the full pallet by hand

[@stephanredding3558]

Hate to ask so long after this was posted but have they changed it to where you don't need a rooster to make chickens reproduce with this game?

[@jarridurlacher7731]

Think it’s worth buying the wheat for the chicken eggs? Do you still make a decent profit?

[@RainbowJosee]

I'm wondering what happens to the reproducing chickens if your pen is full. Anyone know?

[@minecraftfreddo8585]

Nothing happens

[@UkOllie09]

How do i put the food in the trailers?

[@robertlambert7453]

Hey, from a cop, how much would buy our would the chickens be able to reproduce and you to sell them and how much money would you be getting back from it?

[@FarmerCop]

They will reproduce but ypu wont make very much money selling them

[@LazyFarmer-iy1qh]

great video, thanks man

[@silverzet3211]

Thanks man really helped :)

[@TheYellowman2000]

do the chickens have large talons

[@mitchthomsen5058]

You can pick up a full pallet of eggs by hand. Which is really nice!

[@malibuhiegts]

My inner spirit is pleasure among this remark

[@igorssitvjenkins523]

In what units per 1 they sell??? 4k for eggs?

[@FarmerCop]

Prices are per 1000 Liters, so if a product sells for $4,000 then that means 1,000 L will sell for that

[@mainkillerk9851]

Does the coop produce more eggs than the pasture.

[@jamespugh]

Cool. I download the new old school pen mod to have. Hold like 25 or so debating on chicken or sheep.

[@akliethmalkaiet-ck5wd]

wonderful issue i had, some modder genius modder made a chicken coop for 20k price. wonderful eggs you cant lift up egg spawn poimt inside the coop itself forklift wont fit none of them would to tall tractors tobig trailers wont fit couldnt get eggs loaded. had to sell coop and chickens and start over... uninstalled mod never again. just began making profit on them too. 2 tractors tipped over trying to resolve this too.

[@sofiabanu715]

So if I want to feed the chickens I need to buy both contructions for chickens?

[@FarmerCop]

No you just need one

[@r.k1050]

Good video thanks, say your pen has a limit of 30 chickens and you are maxed out, what happens when the reproduce? are chickens slaughtered automatically? Can you explain what happens with reproduction and max numbers etc? Thanks :)

[@FarmerCop]

At max capacity you just dont get any new chickens or other animals

[@CrashEmAll69]

Does the pallet spawn on it's own?

[@FarmerCop]

Yes!

[@rexzz9996]

Hey bro, if we have 360 capacity chicken, based on your experience how many we we should have chicken & rooster ? Exampel 300 chicken & 60 rooster….

[@FarmerCop]

Roosters do not have a purpose in game, just keep it all chickend

[@rexzz9996]

@@FarmerCop if it right, rooster just like decoration right? We dont need rooster? Chichken still can produce eggs?

Hi I just got some chickens as for food it say base food then below it says grain then under that is sun flowers I don't know what yhe base food is can some one help me

[@FarmerCop]

Base food is wheat, barley, or sorghum as mentioned in the video

[@ChadBro1985]

You must be playing on NJ map? I am and they require cracked corn

[@LacyDM]

Have you done any testing or heard from anyone if there is a difference in age? Like should I sell off all of my chickens over 50 months or something like that? I know I could/should sell so I can make free $ since I am currently full and not reproducing. But I feel that it is more income if I just keep the coup at full capacity. Or is it best to thin the flock once every year or two? Anyone know?

[@briansnead4787]

Way late response, but I'll get back with you on this. I currently have only played through 3/4 of a year playing on medium diff and I have 2 of the chicken coupes that hold 360 and one pasture. I'm keeping up with their ages and price and haven't got to the point where they're old and can't reproduce, but I initially started out with 10% highest cost, oldest chickens almost to maturity, 10% roosters, 50% youngest, 30% middle age. I filled the coupes 3/4 of the way full and 4 months they're already needing another pasture. I'm sure it'll exponentially explode one day to where I can't keep building. Gotta have roosters for reproduction, but not sure what a good ratio is because you want the chickens to reproduce but at some point they're going to multiply so fast you'll just be selling them.

[@briansnead4787]

And can already see that having he bakery and making cakes is the money maker, but too many production points to own in front of it just to get eggs to that point. If chickens made manure like IRL, then coupes would be fabulous.

[@mattrobillard3984]

How can I fit it on my property

[@Chippendale]

How do you sell the eggs? I'm new to the series

[@FarmerCop]

Take them to a sell point that takes them

[@ThunderStrikeOfficialC]

I had buy feed but i dont have it in my truck..

[@Theabandonedandtall]

For me the pallet only spawns 1 crate of eggs per pallet, then it won’t spawn anymore unless I move it out of the spawn zone

[@FarmerCop]

Leave it there until the pallet is full

[@TyCook-s1c]

HOW DO YOU LOAD PALLETS?!?!?!?

[@FarmerCop]

Using a forklift or frontloader or something like that. Or get a modded autoload trailer from the modhub

[@ions1v1s96]

Where do I get pallets?! I feel lost!

[@dedasdude]

shop. big bag pallets

[@basedheretic4616]

Blessing from the chicken pastor.

[@fsonpc7612]

Does it matter how many roosters I have?

[@Crimethoughtfull]

No. You don't need any, as the game isn't THAT hardcore. But IRL, the general rule is 1 Rooster for 10 Chickens, if you want to role play a "real" chicken yard.

[@Nightcop35]

Correct no water needed :)

Just like in 19. Also the same as in 19: no chicken transport.

Nahhh what be really cool its added eagles ❤🎉🎉🎉

[@thomaswhitten2537]

I realize this is an old video and my interface looks nothing like his. But chickens don't seem to work well in FS22. What the heck is 'moist food', 'protein food' and the others? The only way I found to add the ingredients is to buy chicken food. Not cool. And they don't produce much at all. Sometimes, nothing at all. I speeded up time for 10 years and they didn't even produce a pallet of eggs. Pretty messed up. Good luck if you need eggs for factories. And it wasn't just that one map. I tried coop's on different maps. Same results.

[@FarmerCop]

Chickens and eggs are VERY easy to do and produce a lot, you must be on a modded map that changes the settings for you

[@vasily122]

Would be cool if they added ducks

[@ThePlanBPill]

Anyone know if there's any easy way to move chickens from pen to pen without selling?

There isnt a way sadly

Great Video , keep up the great work. I haven't seen this question asked yet... How often do you have to feed the chickens? Do they blow through food really quickly, or is it a more gradual time lapse in between restocking their food?

Its more gradual :)

[@jasonswift7098]

The map I am using already comes with a very basic chicken pen but i want to demolish it and place a better one. It won't let me do that until i sell the chicken which i have 10 chicks 1 rooster it won't let me sell them only buy them.

[@ajuric4606]

Buying roosters is pointless since chicken in fs22 can reproduce without them, and since roosters don't lay eggs, they are just a waste of money, space and food

[@DaleBouwman]

Does anyone else sell their chickens after a couple years and refresh their stock?? Or can you keep the same chickens basically forever without losing production??

[@FarmerCop]

Should be able to keep the same chickens forever

[@MikesAutoDetailing]

Great job

[@georgecoverdale9396]

Quite surprised that they didn't drop down dead with the lack or no water need to fix Giant?

[@FarmerCop]

Water has never been required for chickens in any FS game by Giants

[@ceterisparibus51]

Does seem odd given that Giants already has the code infrastructure for watering animals. But maybe it's a performance tradeoff -- if you need to cut CPU cycles, chicken water seems about as sensible as anything else. Let them suck the dew off the morning grass.

[@TheRoyal0flush]

You're better of turning the crop into seeds instead of having chickens unless you plan on making cakes

[@FarmerCop]

If you grow barley and feed it to chickens you make a lot more on the eggs than you would on the barley :)

[@TheRoyal0flush]

@FarmerCop you would get about 20% more profit from eggs than with seed conversion if you feed them with barley, wheat is about equally between eggs or seeds and sorghum gives better profits from seed conversion. I tested with 3 coops with 360 0 months old chickens were each got 9000L of each crop to test benefits, but it was a yeald of 5161L of eggs in each coop Wheat gave 18000L seeds totals:$12528 Barley gave 16686L seeds totals:$11613 Sorghum gave 19530L seeds totals:$13592 Eggs 5161 totals:$12964 My top seed price was 696/1000L My top eggs price was 2512/1000L. So, as I said eggs are useless unless you need it for production lines

[@dev3251]

Anyone having problems selling eggs. I can only sell like 10k max a day worth

[@fredashay]

Uhm, IRL you need one rooster to get eggs and more chickens, bleh. And IRL if you have more than one rooster, they'll fight and kill each other.

Right but this is a game haha

@@FarmerCop I know, lol.

[@Ken_Stauder]

no water no waste, is this really progress, I realize adding in the production chain is a big addition but we should be progressing from what we learned in the past , not changing the game with each rev. With Animals soo automated imo this change is way too fake and diminished the game in a big way.
