If you sell them as adults you don’t have to worry about your chickens dying ( unless you have aging off for animals ), but you do have to build a relationship with new ones so you might not get as good quality of eggs….. but, I’m not sure about that. I haven’t actually had chicks yet as a few hens and a rooster so far are already a lot of work as I have a lot of veggies and fruit tree’s that need care too. I sell most of the eggs, and keep some for cooking.

Yeah, I'm going to go with the adults. I don't have animal aging on BUT I am seeing that the original three I bought, 2 hens and 1 rooster have aged. The rooster is an adult now (was YA) and the two hens are now elders and I have no idea what lifestage they were on but I guess they were older than the rooster. No sign of Grimmy though, yet. I guess the game is bugged. I did start have animal aging on when my other rotational families moved to the farmland neighbourhood but I did turn animal aging off when leaving that lot and I want to keep that aging off completely for this saved game. But I guess the game has other ideas. I did check and it was ticked off (so I wasn't imagining it) but I have ticked aging on and off again just to see if that fixes it.

But I have decided to sell my elder chickens and just keep the new generation. Which means I better find some names for the little younglings as I kept them nameless because I was going to sell them :lol: Thanks guys :smile:

Do you know how long it takes a chick to grow up? And, about how long chickens and roosters live with animal aging on?

Not precisely but my chicks grow up in about 3-4 Sim days I think, maybe longer. Didn't notice how long it took my adult chickens to age through their lifespans but then I did turn it off, so...
