Farming Simulator 22 Chicken Breeding Guide
Below we have detailed how you can breed chickens to start up your own functioning chicken farm for profit.
What Chicken Farm to Choose
The process of starting your own chicken farm is fairly simple and requires a few steps you need to consider, depending on what output you are looking for. Generally, you will begin choosing the type of chicken farm you are looking for depending on the yield you want.
You have two choices for a chicken farm to start breeding chickens; Chicken Coop and Pasture. The only difference here is the size between the two, where the coop will let you have a higher number of chickens and feed capacity as compared to the Pasture. It is worth mentioning that chickens are very fast in breeding, which means that a pasture will fill up in capacity very quickly. This means that if you are looking to expand your profit, you might want to consider a Chicken Coop later on.
Chickens for Breeding
There are three types of chickens that you can go for, which are the young chicks, the adult chickens, and roosters. While it may seem that you will need roosters for breeding, they only provide you with meat.
For eggs and for a larger number of chickens, in the long run, you have to choose between the adult chickens and the young chicks. The former gives you eggs with a high level of breeding, giving you a chicken after 2 months. The young chicks take 4 months to reach maturity or breeding age, which means there will be no breeding during this time period. However, the only advantage you have with young chicks is that they are cheaper to buy in large numbers and they eat less food, which also saves you money.
What to Feed Chickens
The feed you are required to get for your chicken farm is a small variety of seeds which are Barley, Wheat, and Sorghum. If you are lucky, you might have the seeds on your farm, but you can always get a bag of wheat from the shop.
Wheat is expensive to buy, but it runs for a long time. Buying and placing the seeds into the feeder where your chickens can consume and grow in numbers.
How to Profit
Chicken farming ultimately gives you eggs that you can sell for money. Eggs will eventually come in large numbers where you will be selling multiple pallets, each containing 1,400 eggs at the store.
If you can wait for your chicken farm to fully function and give you profit, you can go for the cheaper option of buying young chicks and waiting for them to reach adult age. If you want your business to thrive immediately, without the worry of spending a lot, you can immediately buy adult chickens and wait for just a little for the number of chickens and eggs to grow.
