Chickens: Farming Simulator 25

Chickens are an animals featured in Farming Simulator 25.

Husbandry

There are two types of chicken: The standard chicken and the rooster. Get a rooster if you want to breed the chicken. Before we tell you in detail, what tools and equipment you need, let's take a look at the very basics for chicken husbandry: feed and shelter. There are multiple options for how you can accommodate and feed your chicken.

Housing Options

There are two options: a pasture and a coop. You have to provide feed for all housing options and get eggs in return. The only real difference is the size, as the pasture can only fit 30 chicken. If you want to breed them and focus on a larger operation involving egg production, you should go for the coop.

Feeding Options

You have four options: You can either feed the chicken with wheat, barley and sorghum you harvested from your fields, or you can buy chicken feed from the dealership directly, found in the "Bigbag" section - it's basically just wheat. It might be easier to start out with chicken by using the ready-to-go feed from the dealer, and then align your farming operations accordingly, if you're not growing wheat, barley or sorghum yet.

What you need for chicken

Let's take a look at everything necessary to care for and keep chickens. You don't need much, except for a barn and tools to transport the eggs produced by your chickens.

• You will need a tractor with a front loader attacher and a pallet fork to care for the animals. Use the pallet fork to transport the fodder to the barn and eggs to your truck or directly to the point of sale.
• You will need a barn. You can choose between two versions in the construction menu, depending on your account balance and the amount of chicken you want to have. Under the "Chicken" tab you can choose between the chicken pasture and the chicken coop. They only differ in size.
• To make transport easier, you may want to own a pickup truck you can load the pallets of eggs onto. You can, of course, deliver them with the tractor and pallet fork to the point of sale, too - one pallet at a time.
