Usage
- See also: Animal husbandry
Place a henbox down in a spot your hens have access to. The hens will lay eggs in a henbox by preference, not on the ground. Once the henbox has 3 eggs, a broody hen will sit incubating those eggs until they hatch.
For viable eggs, hens must have access to a rooster! Hens must be well fed to lay! A broody hen needs to have a full belly before it will sit for a day!
If every henbox is occupied, hens wanting to lay may lay eggs on the ground, which can then be picked up. The player can also collect eggs from a henbox.
