[FIXED] [CoL] Chickens sometimes don't eat treat

I have given my chickens treats both when they are hungry and when they are not. Sometimes they refuse to eat it. You cannot call them to eat it, so you end up just having to sell or trash it. It is a waste of resources to make the treats if you cannot get the chickens to eat them. I really hope this gets fixed soon.

I tried to feed animal treats to the chickens and they didn’t eat them, I move the treats around on the ground & they still don’t eat them. The chickens will say they are starving & not eat the treats.

I have the same problem! My workaround so far is: call the chicken over, wait until it has come, then select the action to feed and do not give the sim a new action (especially not to feed another chicken!) until the chicken is done eating and you get the message that the treat is now taking effect. Then it usually - still not 100% tho - works.

I've had similar cases when I've gone to build mode and forgot that the chicken is in the middle of eating the treat, that absolutely voids the whole treat. Also once I was feeding a treat to one chicken and then brainlessly went and scattered feed in general, so the chicken eating the treat stopped eating it and came to eat the regular feed instead. So as others have said, when feeding the treat to a chicken it's good to make sure that the chicken is not about to go anywhere else, like to sleep in the evening, and that none of your sims have any interactions related to chickens queued up, feed the treat and twiddle your thumbs until game pops up the message, or the hoverover shows that the treat is eaten and the next egg will be some-colour.
