I found from other gameplay reviews that when it's 5 AM, Rooster will show up for a wake-up call. But in my game, it never appears. Only has the sound of a rooster.
Moreover, hens never come to sit...
Ideas
I'm playing with chickens in my current save and I noticed the same thing. Chickens never incubate the eggs, roosters don't show up on the blacony. The only animation that is working correctly is going into the coop, cause the animation of getting out of the coop is also broken. Chickens spawn underneeth it and walk though it instead of using the stairs.
Right, that's because the graphics of the chicken when they stay in the coop are missing. So, not only missing the rooster at 5 AM, but also no chicken incubates the egg as you said.
I'm upset about this because I just had the chance to play with chicken first time when this bug already happened. I hope that it's not broken forever, because I still want to see those cute moments in our own save as well.
Hopefully it won't take long, but knowing EA they'll probably take like a year or two 🙃
Just recheck your comment and realize that you talked about another visual bug...
the animation of getting out of the coop is also broken. Chickens spawn underneeth it and walk though it instead of using the stairs.
I haven't noticed this because there are many missing animations in this game. But right, when I summon them, they pop up on the ground like your post. Animation of going to the coop is still fine.
The bug in this thread may not be as critical as others, but I hope that when this bug is fixed and also resolve this issue.
