Vermin birds as egg producers?[edit]
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? Gentgeen 00:06, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
Egg size?[edit]
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? 184.174.156.214 10:49, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
Pasture requirements[edit]
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
