Help with chickens!

You cannot shift click to reset them or pick them up via Sim inventory or BB mode?

Nope. It won’t let me do anything.

Even restarting the game and loading back has them still bugged out?

Let try that.

I think that worked! Thank you!

No problem. Have fun playing.

I was going to suggest you neglect their social and let them wander off, if all else fails. I went really conservative on the animals. One cow, one Llama and only two chickens, a Rooster and a Hen. I almost purchased chicks but decided to let my pair create their own. So far, the eldest kid in the family a Teen son, attempted to make friends with both the Llama and the Cow. Later on, he milked the cow and I thought the fact that the milk sometimes missed the bucket would be the only downside of it. Before he could collect that nice full bucket of milk, Butters (I decided not to change her name) kicked it over. Happily, John didn't burst into tears … because we all know there's no use in crying over … (wait for it, wait for it) … spilt milk. ;) and that's a happy sassy. LOL

I've been playing for about three hours, and those chickens are so needy. If you fill one coop with the maximum of eight chickens, you'll spend much of your time befriending them, but it seems the relationship between Sim and chicken decays more quickly than with the other animals. When feeding chickens treats, you have to make sure to call the target chicken over. If you leave the treat on the ground, none of the chickens will eat it. The golden chickens are cool in the beginning, but they make gardening far too easy so I sold the two I had. Now I have space for a couple of chicks. My kids had chickens in RL, and although we enjoyed having fresh eggs every day, I have to admit I was not a big fan of them as a whole. Two of our hens were friendly and would come out to be petted, but the others were always unhappy about something. I have to say the same rings true of the in game chickens. Some are easier to maintain a relationship with while others don't want to be friends and require more attention.

I chose to trade a hen for Animal treats then right after trade a rooster for meat. both interactions said expect a delivery but I never got a delivery and all that happened was my sim got sad for losing 2 beloved animals. are the deliveries just lost and I traded for nothing?

In RL I have a friend who owned a large pink pig. Piggy got on my friend's bad side one time too many. She took him to the local butcher and he became bacon. :open_mouth: I don't think I could do that. I give my heart away to my pets too completely. Had an English Bunny I got for Easter one year when I was a wee lass. Cinder went missing from her pen one day, to my sorrow. I blamed myself for not having latched the door fully. Some time later my parents introduced us to cooked rabbit. My older brother (going through another of his atrocious mean streaks, rest his soul) was quick to point out that the rabbit we were eating was Cinder. I almost got sick. I have never (to my knowledge) eaten rabbit again. Suffer me to say, I haven't yet taken advantage of trading my Sims' farm animals.
