Now I have a lot of money and I never used a coop in its entirety. I didn't understand how to. Now I have a getter idea. So I put hens and roostros together to make chickadoos. Now 1. Do those chickadoos grow into chickens? 2. Is there a limit as to how many chickens and roostro can be in one coop?

1. Chickadoos will grow into Hen Hens of their type (Normal, Stony, Briar) or a Roostro rarely.
2. There is a limit that if you keep more than 12 chickens and roostros in a coop, their egg production will be halved so keep an eye on their amounts.

Another question! I am looking at my coop and I see an elder chicken! How did that appear?

3. If a Hen or Roostro are kept for too long, they get older. It takes them idk, 5-10 days in the game.
Both of the elder chickens are useless, since Elder Hen won't provide you eggs, and Elder Roostro won't help with doing them.

I was wondering, does having more Roostros in one coop yield more Chickadoos every day, or is only one Roostro necessary?

Not certain, but I believe that a hen hen will produce eggs at a constant rate as long as their is a roostro in their radius, which would imply that the amount of roostros makes no difference.

As correctly mentioned there is a limit in coops, which makes me wonder how many just free-range instead for better production.

The lack of a cap can be a curse as well as a blessing. I let chickens breed wild on the ranch for too long without having anything to feed them to. It took me a while to realize why the game was slowing down every time I came back to the ranch. ...because I had almost 200 chickens.

I created a new silo out of desperation -- 50+ stony hens, 25+ briars, 10+ roostros and I have no idea how many henhens. Now I keep a much closer tab on the population, but it can get out of hand!

i have around 20 roostros from one single coop.

That would explain why when i had 2 roosteros (i probably spelt that wrong) in one coop they became elders in a slower rate compared to when i only had 1 in that same coop.

Currently, chickens age as they sire offspring. So the more pressure being put on a single hen or roostro to make babies, the higher chance they're become an elder.

It takes about six eggs for a Hen to become an elder.

Roostros can sire three times as many chickadoos (that's eighteen) before becoming elders.

Correction: There is a limit that if you keep more than 12 chickens and roostros in a coop, their egg production will stop.

50+?

Try 400 Briar hens, 316 Stony Hens, 100 Briar Chickadoos, and 378 Roostros!

Okay... Thats a lot of chickens

I find that more than one roostro increases chicken production by a lot.

I'm no chicken whisperer, but I think maybe chickens become Elders when they get "all worn out", so to speak. I mean, I once chucked a Roostro into the Overgrowth to see what would happen, came back an in-game day later, it was an Elder.

What more Roostros exactly do is lessening chances that one will get old.

I thought it was based on time relative to that situation.

What about that lower chance of not?

I'm not even going to complain about that wording, so long as this exists.
