Game considers synchronizing the chicken positions to be of utmost importance.

They have to have space and be fed. That doesn't sound lazy to me. I just keep them in the basement and throw a few seeds down there every once in a while after "harvesting" most of them. That's lazy!

I have a two story chicken "barn" with the top story well above the main floor. At the top are pairs of chickens crammed into little spots with piles of seeds. They drop eggs like mad! I use Hanging Braziers to keep the bottom floor warn and the chicken count had gotten completely out of hand whilst I was fighting through some Infested Mines.

On a good note though, kicking chickens will kill two at once if you turn on friendly fire and my "Fists" skill is now way up! (No longer defenseless while swimming!)

I think I found your solution. Just don't do that! :-)

Seriously, you (I?) need at most one chicken a day, so my tiny basement chicken farm is easily enough for a 3 weeks. Actually, it's probably more than that, since I have other food sources like seeker meat that build up and I have to mix that into my diet, so I probably have chicken once every other day or so.

In the basement eh...

...puts the lotion on the feathers.

Still having nightmares from my last chicken massacre! There were dozens of them maybe over a hundred! I still hear there screams of 'I love you' as I cut them down.... R well at least I've got a hellalot of chicken dinners! WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINER!

Yes. What else would I be talking about?

Call the FBI!

I only have a 4x6 coop, so max hens is limited to 11-12.
You could also delete the fire in order that the eggs do not hatch.
