June 30th 24' and working great.

Fixed it by having 3 pillars on that wide area.

Precisely, it's odd but if it works it works

Where do you go to find specific information like this. I have been trying to find info about hit box sizes, where the egg spawns relative to the hen and the exact conditions it needs to lay one, etc...

@@1234567895182 Well im just gonna take a guess now. I remmember i read just before Ashland dropped that people stared noticied in the code that Ashland stuff is slowling being added to the game. New content and such. Maybe its there people see it? If they know how to see it in the game files? Other than that im just guessing trial and error? see how hit boxes seem to be on chicks/hens.

​@@1234567895182the thing about a game with a smaller audience like this one is, there aren't mathematicians measuring every single thing and boiling the game down to its base code. I don't know the prerequisite for those kinds of people to spawn but valheim hasn't met that criteria yet.

The simplest explanation is you didn't build it exactly like the one here or it would be working.

I have built two versions of this pen, exactly as shown, step by step to make sure I didnt miss anything. I run a collection of items mod so I don't need to personally pick up everything. My first build is an egg producer only, and comprises of the top of this build, from the part the chickens sit on and drop eggs to the floor below..... no culling area as its just an egg farm... works fine, but had some initial problems. The second build is exactly as shown apart from I have an alternative fire source nearby so don't need to build the brazier part. The chickens do not eat the food, placed where its shown in this video. Both farms are the same from the feeding part, but the chickens won't eat the seeds, in the full build.... I cannot figure out why

I'm having the same issue. Did you end up finding a solution?

@@GAMMA_AF I abandoned the full build, the breeder part works fabulously, but I decided, that his build works in creative with nothing around it, but in a survival playthrough, theres just too much crap that blocks it from working. I have to do the chicken culling the old fashioned way

@@oiyouoverhere1112 Damn, that's unfortunate. I guess I'll have to play around and come up with my own design. Or do it the old fashioned way :/

i have the same problem as you, as in the roof pieces clash with the breeder chickens and they wouldn't face upright. how did you get around this? i don't understand where the 2m wall piece is put. if the roof and stuff are removed entirely, for some reason the eggs stay too cold to incubate. please help me :(

@@user-mx4un1nt2z wall pieces go on top of the cage sides where the eggs are meant to fall

My chickens were both upside down and I solved it by making 2 stacks of food and observing them from below. they turned up toward the food after a short time and it works well now.

same issue

@@arzrael7473 I fixed it by adding another small beam and large beam under the egg roof and then breaking the small one, just like you did for the other two after placing the roof

Aye like moths to the flame 🤣

Usually picking up the food and putting it back down starts it again

@@Kannerjb711 have the same problem. Pickung food doesnt help. Rebulding the floor, where the food supposed to be neither. Maybe the hens slided a bit down.

Make sure nothing is obstructing the top floor space and it's the size I mentioned

Can do, but not attached directly next to it. You'll need at least 10m space between the chickens groups so they don't detect one another to avoid reaching the mob cap

For those of you still facing the same issue, break the roofs above the brazier, and it'll work just fine!

Thanks for leaving your feedback for others who might have the same issue 👌🏻

Recently I've seen them in the water randomly but they're supposed to be around the mistlands biome. I think it's sticky 🤔 Regular bait and a lox trophy

@@Zerger Its misty bait you want.

Ah, thank you

Test it by throwing down the food again then remove any walls/doors/roof that you placed so it's only the floor by itself at the top. If it works then your problem is there

They don’t fall until they are hens

Yes that's about right, basically just build the top layer and nothing else. I'll make a new video in the future I think for a basic chicken coop/egg hut

**It's apparently working, but the hens are looking downwards and it is really slow :') Could someone confirm if it's slow for you too please?

@@gaborszabo4057 try removing the 45 roof under the chickens wait for them to turn towards food then replace the roofs

It's to give more space when the eggs pile up so the chicks don't clip through the walls when they hatch but at the same time making that floor space invalid for their pathing to keep them walking around over the gaps. Otherwise they stand still in that area and don't move around

I haven't done this before but you should be able to make your own design if the eggs drop in the same landing area. Haha going all out I see

@Zerger i did a modification last night, base is the same but added a second drop zone on the other side and the top access is off the side. Had to drop a couple bars in a V so the feed lands in the middle of the hen cage. They all ate and eggs are dropping fine so far, might have to make it taller so they keep producing without chicken cap pause. Ill see if I can link some screenshots later.

Check your floor at the top is the size I mentioned. If that's ok remove any walls you've built or anything surrounding it that could be obstructing their pathing

@@ZergerI think that's the problem. It seems to be top layer. When I remove top layer roof and walls They are eating normally. When I buit it again they stop eating 🙁

Did you cover the 2 hens with two 1x1 iron rails? I built this design and it's working fine. The seeds should fall on the iron 1x1 cover.

Yup, I tested all 4 my boar, wolf, lox and this one with bat and drake raids and they weren't attacked

No they are supposed to drop down but I've had it before that 3 or so pile up then after they hatch the issue resolved itself

If they turned there's something obstructing the floor space on the top floor. Make sure the floor is the same size as mine

If you mean the roof that the breeding pair sit on and where the eggs drop on over yes, sometimes one chicken will sit there but it will be pushed off by the rolling eggs later on

You could modify it I suppose, if you kill the heat source to stop the hatching on the second floor but this farm was really made specifically for chicken meat and feathers

Nope, any World War Z-like activities are strictly prohibited in this farm

@@Zerger What I'm finding is the chicks are stacking. When they turn from chicks to chickens they then get permanently wedged there, stuck in the corners, not able to move. Built it exactly the same though. Very odd.

Just some of them or all of them? I'm wondering if the pathing is somehow messed up

@@Zerger I made it too and I have 8 hens in lvl 2. They aren't really moving around to fall through the holes.

Yup, it's the pathing. It's really sensitive, you'll just have to keep comparing and find what the difference between yours and mine is. It's really frustrating trust me I know
