'''Chickens''' can not be found in the wild; they must be bought from a merchant or join the colony in a self-taming event. Males of the species are referred to as '''Roosters''' and can be distinguished by their ruddy brown coloration, while females are referred to as '''Hens''' and are white. Babies of either gender are bright yellow and referred to as '''Chicks'''. | '''Chickens''' can not be found in the wild; they must be bought from a merchant or join the colony in a self-taming event.

− | + | Chickens grow very quickly, taking only {{#expr:{{P|Maturity Age}}*60 round 1}} days to mature, placing them among the fastest-growing animals. Combined with their incredibly fast reproduction rate of {{#expr:{{P|Eggs Per Clutch Average}}/{{P|Egg Laying Interval}}}} offspring per day, a population of chickens can rapidly explode from a single rooster and hen, theoretically increasing to a population of 1200 adults within the span of just a year. Once the population explosion gets going, the population will double every approximately 5.7 days.<!--simulated with clutch_size=1, egg_interval=1, maturity_age=12--> | |

− | + | When slaughtered, a chicken yields {{#vardefineecho:baby_meat|{{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*0.1*140}}}}}} meat as a chick; {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*0.5*140}}}} as a juvenile; or {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*140}}}} as an adult. No leather is yielded. By slaughtering the chicks rather than eating the unhatched [[Chicken egg (fert.)|fertilised egg]], more nutrition is gained ({{#expr:{{#var:baby_meat}}*0.05 round 2}} rather than {{Q|Chicken egg (fert.)|Nutrition}}). | |
− | |||
− | + | An adult hen consumes {{P|Real Hunger Rate}} nutrition per day, and produces {{#vardefineecho:egg_nutr_per_day|{{#expr:{{P|Eggs Per Clutch Average}}/{{P|Egg Laying Interval}}*{{Q|Chicken egg (unfert.)|Nutrition}}}}}} nutrition of eggs each day, resulting in a nutrition efficiency of {{#expr:{{#var:egg_nutr_per_day}}/({{P|Base Hunger Rate}}*1.6) round 3}} when unfertilised eggs are eaten. | |
− | + | When chicks are slaughtered, an always-fertilised hen produces {{#expr:{{Meat Production|{{PAGENAME}}|Baby}} round 2}} nutrition per day, resulting in a nutrition efficiency of {{#expr:{{Meat Production|{{PAGENAME}}|Baby}}/({{P|Base Hunger Rate}}*1.6) round 3}} for the hen alone, or {{#expr:{{Meat Production|{{PAGENAME}}|Baby|{{#vardefineecho:femaleratio|{{#expr: 2/3*24*{{P|Egg Laying Interval}}/{{P|Mate Mtb Hours}} round 2}}}}}}/{{Nutrition Consumption|{{PAGENAME}}|Baby|{{#var:femaleratio}}|1}} round 3}} when accounting for the {{#var:femaleratio}}:1 hen:rooster ratio needed to achieve a good [[Animals#Mating|fertilisation rate]]. | |
− | When slaughtered, | ||
− | + | As a chick grows into adulthood it will consume {{#expr:{{Consumption Upto Adulthood}} round 2}} nutrition in total, and will yield {{#expr:0.05*({{P|Meat Yield}} - {{#var:baby_meat}})}} more nutrition when slaughtered than it would as a baby. This means that the nutrition efficiency of a growing chick is {{#expr:0.05*({{P|Meat Yield}} - {{#var:baby_meat}})/{{Consumption Upto Adulthood}} round 3}}. As the nutrition efficiency of growing chicks is so close to that of a population of a {{#var:femaleratio}}:1 hen:rooster population of adult chickens, it is probably preferable to allow them to grow to adulthood in order to save on slaughtering and butchering labour. | |
