Our adorable feathered friends have made plenty of video game appearances over the years.
If your goal is to get eggs or hatch and raise chicks, chickens are perfect for your ranch.
In this guide, we’ve prepared everything you better know about chickens.
How To Get Chickens
Chickens are the first animals you encounter in Ranch Simulator.
After completing or skipping the tutorial, you will obtain two chickens and a small coop.
Both animals come in three color variations, but these are purely cosmetic and offer no advantages or disadvantages.
However, coops are generally more effective at keeping them contained.
Medium Coop
20 wood planks, 7 metal
No more than 8 hens.
Big Chicken Coop
50 wood planks, 25 metal
No more than 20 hens.
Coops with higher hen capacity will make egg collection much easier for you.
Both the small food trough and small water troughrequire six wood planks each.
For water, you canpurchase a water tankfrom the same store for 30 dollars.
How To Spot Fertilized Eggs
There are two ways to distinguish between fertilized and unfertilized eggs.
The second methodinvolves the ovoscope, which you’re able to buyfrom the General Store for 100 dollars.
Place the ovoscope in a dark area, turn it on, and insert an egg into it.
This way, you could produce chicks in that coop.
Additionally, if you want, you’re able to sell your grown chicks to the General Store.
