What does Min. eggs, Max. eggs and Avg. eggs mean? Eggs per month, season, year or at all? --Kami 13:25, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Per clutch. These numbers represent how many eggs are laid whenever the animal lays eggs. The frequency of egg laying is not discussed here as of this writing. --Jwest23 14:29, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
I've been wondering about that myself. Shouldn't be hard to work out... If anyone knows, please add! Bognor 14:54, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Sex Change[edit]

Any way to change males to females?

Domestic Poultry notes[edit]

This note could do with being rewritten. I'd do it myself, but I'm having a hell of a time trying to parse what it's trying to say. I think the gist is that only one batch of eggs (that is, one nest) can hatch at a time, and all other batches have their time-until-hatching 'reset' when this happens... which, if true, sounds like it might be a bug, and may also need confirmation (or cite whatever source this conclusion came from). -Niveras 13:59, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Mmm. I'm sure I've had multiple clutches of peacock eggs hatch in a far shorter time period than a few months. Bognor 11:09, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
Yep. I just had 6 batches of chicks hatch within 3-4 days game time. 24.49.50.181 19:13, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
I've removed the section, as it didn't match the experiences of other players. Bognor 11:03, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

guineafowl meat[edit]

Er, regardless of what the page says, I had a butchered guineacock leave behind 2 meat, 2 fat, a skin and a skull. I suspect that this may just be a matter of extreme size/muscularity/fatness pushing one bird's size just over the threshold needed to produce any meat at all; if that's what happened, guineafowl meat will probably be a rare occurrence, so not sure whether total edible should be changed from zero. Maybe just a footnote saying it can occur rarely? 218.186.8.11 03:26, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Sounds like a likely explanation to me. I've added a footnote. Feel free to edit the page as you see fit. Bognor 12:56, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
