Our DS would know. Two years ago (in sky factory) he made his own chicken egg breeding facility. He literally had statistical genetic charts so he determine which chickens to breed. He also made his warehouses fully automatic. It was quite impressive for an 8 year old. .... Of course in real life he knows better than to squeeze chickens into little cages.

Last year he was into a coding kick. This year it’s AFK farming. He puts a lot of thought on how to set up multiple systems to gather imaginary resources in his game. In other words, he works hard to figure out how to get out of work.

There's a game called egg inc in google market. Its addictive and fun but repetitive. You build a poultry egg farm. You tap screen and watch a bunch of chickens to the coop.

Turkey hen wasn't happy. Found an Egg thief, it in a nest box. Igloo dog house. Not afraid of me. I hit it with a metal serving spoon, grabbed it with a grabber around the neck, hit it with the grabber. It tried to run by me and I grabbed it by the neck and shook it and it still wouldn't play possum... threw it in the cage of doom. Tracked it back to my side drive and car tracks. I get to take care of someone's else problem

I think F&F chick days starts Feb 5?
I keep telling myself I'm not buying any more chicks this year. Only time will tell!

I'm in the same boat...

I would like to get a new incubator too. I really want to incubate my duck eggs more.

@Faraday40 It's like the phone game version of your chickens going and from their tractors.

I think I am officially not allowed any more chicks unless I buy that property. My girls are at max capacity in their coop. But if I were.....my cousins will have chick days in March...sigh...No Aimée!!! No!!!!

@WhyDoILikeChickens and @BReeder!
Looks like a great game for him ( But Perhaps I’ll have to try it since he doesn’t have a cell phone. )

Speaking of training chickens, I’ve been working with a few birds. I have a little serama that learned how to peck at the target after just a few minutes.

The modern game bantam (Stix) had her first piano lesson today. She was able to peck the glowing keys and produce sound. She even did several 2&3 note sequences. I’m impressed. It takes an Orpington weeks to learn what this pullet did in a few days.

Is it the foam kind? I have a foam one. I'm not happy with the results any more. The first several uses were fine, but it isn't so great anymore. Hatch results went downhill.
