Types of Farm Houses

There are two types of farm houses you can use to raise chickens in Farming Simulator 22: open spaces and closed spaces. The main difference between the two is their size:

1. Pasture – 30 chickens, seed capacity: 750l, price: 6,000€
2. Chicken coop – 360 chickens, seed capacity: 9,000l, price: 79,000€

While pastures are useful for producing small quantities of eggs, they quickly become overcrowded due to the fast breeding of chickens. If you want to breed a larger number of chickens and produce more eggs, a chicken coop is a better option.

Types of Chickens

There are three types of chickens available in Farming Simulator 22: young chickens, adult chickens, and roosters.

1. Young chickens lay a small number of eggs and do not reproduce until they reach breeding age (4 months). However, they consume less food, making them a cost-effective option if you want to buy a large number of chickens and let them grow up.
2. Adult chickens can immediately lay eggs and breed at a high level, with each chicken producing a new chicken every two months.
3. Roosters do not lay eggs or breed; they are only useful for meat. They reach maturity and increase in value after six months.

Feeding

Chickens only require seeds to survive, which can be wheat, sorghum, or barley. If you do not have any crops, you can buy a pallet or bag of wheat from the store to start egg production quickly.

While store-bought wheat can be expensive, chickens only consume a small amount, so it will last for a long time, depending on the number of chickens you are breeding.

You can use the belt systems to automate feeding by setting up a belt in front of the chicken coop or pasture and pouring the seeds in front of it. The chickens will automatically consume more seeds as they eat them.

Collection and Use of Eggs

Eggs can be found on pallets in front of the pasture and behind the chicken coop. They are lightweight and can be loaded manually onto a vehicle for selling.

You have two options for selling your eggs: you can sell them directly in the store or use them in the production chain to make Cake, which requires other ingredients and is not worth pursuing at the beginning of the game.

Each egg pallet holds 1400 eggs.

Profitability

All values are rounded and production and consumption are calculated on a monthly basis for 10 animals.

	Young chickens	Adult chickens (6 months)	Roosters
Purchase price	5 €/piece	50 €/piece	5 €/piece
Seed consumption (per month)	50	50	50
Egg production (per month)	0	100	0
Breeding	None	Every 2 months	none

The maximum value for adult chickens (6 months old) is 25 € and for roosters is 20 €.
