My chicken... Is getting old??

Too much stress from the parents to grow up and find a job ?

I have two roosters who are apparently chicks. I tried trading them for meat the other day, but it didn’t work, they’re still here!

It's a bug

The chicks miss out on aging up for some reason, but their lifespan still continues and they eventually die of old age despite still being in the chick stage.

(There is a workaround involving taking them into and out of inventory or maybe it's household inventory, which triggers aging up, check the report)

OMG, poor thing! I guess it's growing up a bit too fast. ?

But seriously though, it's definitely a bug. ?

Sounds like a slightly different bug to what I experienced. I had two roosters with the physical appearance of adults, yet when I hovered over them the tooltip said they were chicks. The bug in that thread seems to be animals that have the physical appearance of chicks, but the tooltip says “adult” or “elder” or whatever.

I eventually used testingcheats to delete the roosters. My single hen had recently died and I had four roosters, so I wasn’t going to get any more eggs. I deleted the glitchy roosters and bought another hen. Everything seems to be fine now.

I've got a cat in my save that has been sitting at 0 days till aging up for a long time now, the dog in another household aged up, just not the cat.

If you could bottle whatever's happening and apply it to cats in the real world, you'd be a billionaire in under a year. Permanent kittens? Yes please.
Incidentally, neotony is a thing, even in mammals.

It's got to be a glitch.

Poor baby :'(

Did it eventually age, or did it just wind up dying? :disappointed:
