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--> | Chickens grow very quickly, taking only {{#expr:{{P|Maturity Age}}*60 round 1}} days to mature, placing them among the fastest-growing animals.

− | + | 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.

+ | 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 {{%|{{#var:egg_nutr_per_day}}/({{P|Base Hunger Rate}}*1.6) round 3}} when unfertilized eggs are eaten. This would make chickens a net positive for nutrition, even when fed with [[hay]]. Due to the effects of [[overeating]], and the existence of roosters, a net positive may not always be achieved. | ||
− | + | Note that slaughtering chicks gives more nutrition than eating unhatched eggs ({{#expr:{{#var:baby_meat}}*0.05 round 2}} from meat rather than {{Q|Chicken egg (fert.)|Nutrition}} from 1 egg). However, a handler has to actually slaughter each chicken, and a butcher's yields are multiplied by [[Butchery Efficiency]]. So if you don't a skilled cook, eggs may be better for nutrition. Also, eggs are vegetarian. | |

When chicks are slaughtered, an always-fertilized hen produces {{#expr:{{Meat Production|{{PAGENAME}}|Baby}} round 2}} nutrition per day, resulting in a nutrition efficiency of {{%|{{Meat Production|{{PAGENAME}}|Baby}}/({{P|Base Hunger Rate}}*1.6) round 3}} for the hen alone, or {{%|{{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|fertilization rate]]. | When chicks are slaughtered, an always-fertilized hen produces {{#expr:{{Meat Production|{{PAGENAME}}|Baby}} round 2}} nutrition per day, resulting in a nutrition efficiency of {{%|{{Meat Production|{{PAGENAME}}|Baby}}/({{P|Base Hunger Rate}}*1.6) round 3}} for the hen alone, or {{%|{{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|fertilization rate]]. | ||
− | As a chick grows into adulthood | + | 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. Due to the effects of [[overeating]], letting chickens grow up is a slight malus to meat yield. But, as the nutritional difference is so small, it is preferrable to let chicks grow up to adults (as it takes less butchering work to do so). |
