Quick Guide on How to Max Out Chickens

By Lotus.

• TLDR: For efficiency or a Min/Max Chickens are used to pair with baking. Maybe some eggs for holiday events.

You must feed the animals. It’s $50 a bucket and you get 5 feeds so upkeeps have the $10/day added in. I’m not doing barn rent math in the cost.

The chicken math is you can grind a basket for $80, the chicken’s cost is $17 a day, so you make $63 a day, 6 chickens is $378, 4 days is $1,512. A brown cow is $600 + $120 upkeep a day so $1,080 gets you 3 meat ($960 each) and a case of shank(4 at $260 each). The suggested value is $3,920, the cow was $1,080, so $2,840 profit.

If you process it in the workshop it’s even higher. However with the workshop meat is now the weakest machine. You use the barn for dairy cows and goats, the chickens for eggs and you start making big money.

I think the problem a lot of people had with their baking calculations was the price of eggs. A basket of eggs is $17, a milk is about $120, a goat milk is $150. I like pie as an example. A goat milk + egg + buy an expensive wheat (Not Spring) for $280, 150+17+280 is $447, pie suggested is $250 * 4 = $1,000. So you were making $553 by making pie with the update you now get 2 pies! So $1,553 profit per craft. This leads into optimizing the footprint for profit per day.
