So far, I've assumed that vermin birds and other egg laying vermin can't be used for egg production. Has anyone done any !!SCIENCE!! that might prove or disprove this hypothesis? [[User:Gentgeen|Gentgeen]] 00:06, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

== Egg size? ==

I notice a lot of comparisons on the wiki mention the size of the eggs, but I thought that was irrelevant - each in the stack just adds one to the final meal count of the prepared meal stack.  Am I wrong?  [[Special:Contributions/184.174.156.214|184.174.156.214]] 10:49, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

== Pasture requirements ==

Nothing in here mentions the need to feed any of these animals. Given that it talks about a range from real-world traditioanlly domestic poultry, to fantasy birdlife, to carnivorous reptiles this is badly missing.

I would guess the ideal for dwarves is to be able to have a bunch of battery style poultry rooms deep underground, the question is do the egg layers need to be free ranging in a pasture, or not?

If they need to be in a pasture:
 
−
* does that pasture have to be an above ground vegetation producing biome
 
−
* if underground
 
−
** does it need to be flooded
 
−
** do you need to have discovered underground water

:Only critters with the [GRAZER:<x>] need to be in a pasture to eat, and none of the domestic egg layers (or non-domestics as far as I remember) are grazers. They can be pastured for convenience, tidiness, and sanity, but it's not necessary. [[User:Gentgeen|Gentgeen]] ([[User talk:Gentgeen|talk]]) 01:43, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
