Hey guys! I hope you found this guide as quick and easy to build as me, let me know your thoughts on using the shutters, and what you'd like to see me cover next!
Please Take down the older video. I just had build it to find the newer version. Both bugged btw
super easy thank you so much!
Thanks for your video. What's the reason you're building the chicken farm so high up in the air. Wouldn't it suffice to build it like 4m above the ground?
@@KaptenIglo I think the point to the hen's being high up is that theoretically hens will stop producing eggs when a certain amount of hens and eggs are in that area. (12m?) So if you raise them up 12m, the eggs drop out of the 12m bubble and the hens don't stop producing eggs.
The chickens don't seem to eat anything. I made my structure exactly the same as yours. I suspect that in the recent update, they will no longer eat while on a sloped roof.
For anyone wondering, it still works
Doesn't work well for me. Sometimes it just stops randomly. I've adjusted the chickens many times. Can't seem to get it consistent.
@@1234567895182 Idk for me it works perfectly normal and i had it for a long time
Thank you
@@1234567895182
HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM, HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO MAKE A FUNCTIONAL FARM?
Thanks man
Tip to make tossing food even easier: put another set of shutters on top of the first and you'll give yourself an angled backboard so you won't accidentally toss food to the left or right
Very efficient redesign and a great explanation of the build Tom. I like the use of the 45 degree roofs for the hens to breed and let their eggs out, and the roof funnels for the food placement are genius. Little known fact, chickens eat dandelions, if you run a greydwarf farm, you should have all the dandelions you need!
Great build! I accidentally built the previous patch version first, but that gave me good understanding of the culling anyway. Built this version and working flawlessly. Also I can't find the comment below, but whomever suggested the checkerboard floor, works perfectly!
but how do you use the chekerboard floor?
This still works in April 2024. Good design. Thanks.
Just tried it in Ashlands May 2024 and doesn't seem to work
It half works in Ashland's. Seems to be much more sensitive to where the chickens are positioned. I've gotten it to work sometimes, then sometimes it stops. Sometimes the eggs don't roll down for whatever reason. If I leave the area, sleep, then come back, it works again for awhile. It's just all around really inconsistent.
I'm going to try tinkering with the design later. If I come up with something I'll let y'all know.
tried to do the build and eggs refuse to get warm
@@1234567895182 any updates?
@@akuankka4142 I ended up just tinkering around with the current design. Moving chickens, hatching new chickens, loading/unloading the area.
I could never get it to work quite as good as before the Ashlands update, but I got it "good enough".
I have now finished my Valheim play through so unfortunately I won't be able to provide any more useful information.
Best I can say is to just keep trying things until something works haha.
I've been using this design for a couple of weeks, works great! For the slaughterhouse bit, I use pufferfish instead of a fire - less maintenance.
great idea. but where do you put the fire for the chickens to grow? if put in the middle column then both eggs storage and chicken house are warm
It looks like a great improvement!
ETA: Question was already answered in one of the earlier comments :D I forgot about the "free range".
Definitely gonna try this out, fantastic work!
Works like a charm! I made it a bit different, but fundamentals are the same. Thank you for showing us these neat tricks!
The problem I encounter with this is that some of the eggs get stuck on the chickens in the top nest because the chickens refuse to stay clipped through each other and don't drop so I have to open the shutters, kill a few chickens, and then try again. The other issue is that the stupid eggs don't hatch at the bottom sometimes regardless of warmth and so I have a stack of 100+ eggs just sitting there with only 2 adults avoiding the stairs completely. Another issue is that if multiple eggs hatch at the same time they can push each other through walls and ceilings. Think I'm going to have to tear down and restart. And even though mine is completely safe behind a large wall with moat, trolls can apparently smell chickens and start trying to throw things through my walls to get to them.
so nice build, i had trouble with hens not being able to eat. ultimately the problem turned out to be the shutters on the front i think. i opened them and as soon as i did the hens could eat. so initially when feeding you may have to open the front shutter to begin the feeding
I love this! Built it on the side of a cliff so the upper deck was part of the main floor of my main workshop. So mine is deep instead of tall off the ground.
As some people already said, the chickens/hens tend to stack on top of each other, but it is definitely possible to get them in the right position by body pushing and using the shutters. Just be careful not to let the chickens escape as they will jump out when the roof is removed if they are not situated low enough yet. I also find that handling the chickens is more finicky, so it might be best to first wait until they are grown up. Once they have slid down deep enough, I put a cage floor on top to keep them down.
ya i just wait then, was trying to build this, but chickens blocked so couldt build the shutters inside. hopefully it will fix when they grow. i did try to push the chickens at first but i got stuck and ended up having a chicken ontop of me.. so when i would try jumping it would jump with me..
Can confirm once they are hens they will slide next to each other. Don't even risk pushing chicks around.
I used your original design and just changed the little hen housing floor to 45 degrees points outwards allowing the eggs to roll down the ramp down to the slaughter and egg collection areas. I also just placed a 2 m beam in behind the hens to keep them in place on the 45 roof and a 2 m beam in front, instead of a half wall so I can feed them.
Had a couple of small issues, didn't use the right roof and the placement of the posts on the front of the doors is important. But it went well once I corrected those and now getting plenty of eggs. Thanks.
Works like a charm big thank you !
love the shutters engineering well done
This design worked out great! Instead of a fire in the culling area, I set up a puffer fish on an item stand.
Thanks! My most common fail is tossing seeds in the right spot.
You can build this WITHOUT IRON if you put a pillar of stone columns up the center of the structure, and just attach it at the top with a couple extra core wood log beams. Cheers!
THX for the new Guide
Hi, thanks for sharing this amazing design, I am facing a problem that one hen is standing on top of the other. I try to build multiple wood shutters and play around with them to push the hen down, and re-gather them by the bottom shutters. But after a short while, one of the hen is jumping to the head of the other again. Do you know how I can get this fixed? Thanks
it is not working for me, I have the hens inside each other - they are not stacking. Had seeds thrown into the funnel like in the video. They just wont eat. :(
i just used shingle roof as someone else has stated, seems to work
Even with the shingle roof I’ve still got two hens stacked on top of each other like walker :/
Try placing a shutter and pushing them around
@@Wolf-gt7mb the shutters didn’t help. I let them be for a while and somehow they fell into the right place and now the farm works a treat!
Extremely clever thank you
Thanks for the tutorial. I didn't make it in the exact way ( lack of experience in Valhheim) but I still managed to get a really good farm.
I wasn't able to automate the meat/feathers part but the workaround was to build a bigger space for chickens/hens to hatch/grow and when there is a bunch of them I just go there and do the job manually with the knife.
I still have issues with tossing the seeds in the correct place (because I failed in some details when building), but it's okay when I manage to feed them with x100 seeds for a pretty long time.
Still works as at 27thj July 2024. Thank you!
Thanks a lot! This works!)
I actually just modified the first build by building a beam under teh chcikens butts then removing the floor still works thanks for the builds I will try this one in the next world
Yup did teh same, basically just encased the two 1x1 floor pieces with beams and removed the floor pieces. Works like a charm.
I’m so glad I read the comments section thanks for the tip eggs are back on the menu
What is the vertical wooden tube in the middle for, other than support and to distance the eggs from the hens? Does it need to have walls?
can confirm this still works if you rebuild it step by step with sound turned on :) game version 0.216.9
why is it so high up what does that do and do there have to be exatly to of the things the hens are in?
Nice and simple is the way to go, have you tried the build near the elder eternal flame NO WOOD for endless chicks :).
I have had problems with the culling station, they don't want to go stairs into fire, somewhat more successful was the half wall slit that hens go thru but chickens don't, but the space filling up often glitches chicken out thru walls, instead of pushing hens out into fire
They won't go to a place they would fall down (unless push by others) or if they see the fire. Actually I think his first design (1x1 floors above fire) is better because hens will think it is safe to walk onto. You don't need to make the floor lower as he did, put it at the same level of the exit of the stair will work.
Thanks for the design, works for me.
Do you have the outside overall dimensions needed. Have a mountain castle want to build this on an existing game generated tower. Wondering what outide dimensions are
I followed everything exactly and the chickens will not eat at all. I can drop it on their stupid feathery heads and they still wont eat. I am on xbox so maybe there is something i need to do differently.
Just made it today. Still works!
followed all the steps and it works great.... no slaughter house.. just egg collection..... have an actual long house for breeding and cull all but six every few days
The wiki says portals count as "Base Structure". That would mean having a portal up and down from the breeding room + the campfire would then trigger the events I think.
Depends how close the bottom portal is, but failing that build a stair case to the top - no issues 🙂
@@TotalXclipse 40m away is the min
@@TotalXclipse If you place multiple campfires around chicken farm in area a bit larger than raid radius you will completly block raid mob spawns
you sir, are the chicken master
as of Feb7,24 everything is working exactly as described but the chicks that hatch pop above the hens, so only chicks are being "pushed" onto the stairs. the egg side is 100% working. I'm going to try and modify the hatchery and see if i can get the hens to lift, not the chicks.
I want to say "BIG russian thanks" for you friend!! Your idea is very helpful and useful! You have done excellent work!!
I build my chicken farm like a boar farm. Trick is you need to place a wooden beam just under and at the edge of the 1x1 floors before you remove them. Build then once you have hens delete the 1x1 floor under then hen and with the wood beam as an edge they wont fall out.
I just found that if you can box the chicken in a 1 meter square with 1m Wood beams all around each edge, you can then remove the floor and the eggs will fall but the chickens stay trapped.
For the ppl having trouble it seems that u have to use the shingle 45 roof for the food
My friend do u have any fing idea through how much trouble i went and i was close to visiting a train station but ur comment saved my chickens and my sanity. I hope ur meat will get absored by the opposite gernder. God bless u.
Hero.
Please put a link to the orgainal video with the slu
ater house in the description. i made the first half of the build and it has been miaking stupid amount of eggs while i have been at work the last 2 days. But i do not know how to make them into meat yet.
Tried this just now and it works! (fed them with dandylions thou)
Smoke doesn't pass through iron cage floors, so I'm wondering what the best method for using a fire to kill them is now?
I tried a pufferfish, but the chicks manage to reach it before they mature into hens and get killed. Any suggetions?
lmao good thing I let the last video auto play into this as I just finished building it and only had enough gold for 2 eggs...
I'm having issues with the hens falling to the ground. Not sure what I did wrong. I built and rebuilt it a couple times.
Anyone checked to see if this still works for them with the latest patch 0.217.13, for me the chicken just eventually stack on each other after closing all shutters, and even the bottom one doesn't seem to be able to eat the seeds?
I keep getting stuck where i put the two shutters in where the floor is, the chickens that have hatched always mean i get "blocked" and can't go further. Any tips?
For anyone having the issue of their chickens not climbing the stairs here's another way to kill the chickens, by smoking them.
As morbid as it may sound, the alternative method that im using right now is to kill the chickens by smoke inhalation 🤣So basically its pretty much the same setup but you need to use stoneslabs (just so the chickens has a higher elevation to stand on to make them catch smoke easier. then the brazier still stays on the ground so it is positioned just under the chickens. I directed all the smoke of the supposed chicken killing brazier into the chicken cage and put a door on it that I only open it. If you cant imagine it you just sandwich the brazier with 2 doors, 1 door inside for keeping the chickens out and another outside to access your brazier.(Dont put any ventilation as you want all the smoke to enter the chicken cage. When I want to kill all the chickens inside I simply open the door that's separating the chickens and the brazier and if I want to speed up the killing process I use the outside door(one used to access the brazier) to fan the smoke inside by opening and closing it.
work during some times and stop for no reason chiken "happy" dont want to reproduce, i tried to move them but no way it does not work
brilliant!
followed this exactly and the hens do not want to eat whatever i throw down the chute. Seeds, barley, blueberries raspberries, etc. . .
any ideas??
So I tried this and while I can sometimes see the chicken heads clip through the wall to the seeds, they don't ever actually eat. Any guesses why? I'm wondering if the angle they are at on the sloped roof is doing it?
I had the same problem, they are not eating at all
same
same, anyone figure this out yet?
same
If found that it was just the feed not being close enough to the wall.
My chickens won't walk up the stairs to the fire. They just keep walking up the other side where the eggs fall into before hatching.
Can i build this farm almost on the ground without hatchery, and that still will work to produce eggs?
Love this! Any reason why you used specifically the Carved Darkwood Divider to throw the chicken eggs at, and the shutters rather than just a plain wall to direct the seeds, not critizing just wondering if its a practical decision or cosmetic
I know it's a little late since it's a year later, but I think it's because it is tall and can be placed on the floor easier. I have seen other videos where they just use wood wall.
This worked excellent until I logged out. Chickens are stacked on top of each other and refusing to go back to normal. Even when I spent time jiggling the shudders to get them back in place, they didn't eat anymore.
1:26 dude. Your chicken was escaping!
Confirmed Works in Ashlands Update, even with Mods. And only with 1 type of food
I tired, Didnt work for me and the chicks still going out from everywhere or killing themself on the fire.
I watched the slaughter section in the previous video, my chickens never walk up the stairs and just get stuck in the lower section. If you could improve that part, that'd be awesome!
Think I can work on a system for it
I experience the same thing, I ran a test for this farm and the chicken cage is filled to the brim but they still wont walk to the stairs, maybe they changed the AI for the chicken?
Edit: I found another solution for the stairs problem. As morbid as it may sound, the alternative method that im using right now is to kill the chickens by smoke inhilation 🤣 I directed all the smoke of the supposed chicken killing brazier and put a door on it that I open when I want to kill all the chickens inside. You can also speed up the process by fanning the smoke inside using the door by opening and closing it.
Seems like it's not working anymore. I have only problems with this build.
1. When building it up to the same height, the "coops" on the edge of the platform keep breaking. Fixed that with iron beams at the platform's edges. May be a problem with slight terrain height difference at the bottom.
2. One hen always pops out and stands on top of the other who is stuck in its proper place. After fiddling with the shutters, I can sometimes get both of them to get stuck at the same level. But after a few seconds one of them will always pop out on top. Fortunately, they at least aren't escaping the enclosure.
3. The hen at the bottom won't eat seeds unless I deconstruct the rooftop slide. Even though the seeds are laying on the floor and the rooftop isn't touching them. I could just manually throw the seeds a few times until they land in the right spot. But doesn't work if one hen is popping out and standing above the other anyway.
2. When the chickens are both in position, place an iron grill to keep them in place
3. The seeds have to be *exactly* against the wall for this to work
My eggs will NOT hatch. I even sat near them for 2 days so that someone was near on our server. They're warm, covered and someone's near but no chicks :(
did something change so they can't lay eggs through the roof because thats the only part of the farm that still wont work for me. as other people said, the dummy chickens like to stack on top of each other so a helpful tip is to place a beam right above the middle where they stand. That seems to keep them in place for me but now i cant get them to lay eggs through the floor.
WAIT A SEC, I'm dumb. Literally 10 seconds after posting this i just realized i forgot to get rid of the core wood sideways beams initially, because i was worried about structure support, so thats probably why.
so to the eggs still fall on the floor or not after last patch?
my chicken are in the right place and i build it right but the chickens won't eat?
Sure wish I had seen that the previous build was broken before I completed it hahaha
Tried this today (May 27 2023) and my problem was that the chickens are both standing facing the wall and not forward toward where the seeds are thrown. They do not change orientation no matter what I do, meaning they do not eat the seeds. So I have not gotten this to work.
same
i deleted that feeding mechanism and changed wooden wall with iron bars and it started working again
Wokeup this morning and they wont eat again!! Idk if im alone but now only one chicken eats out of the two after 3 weeks of it working PERFECTLY
Has there been a new game patch?
@@TotalXclipse no!! I found out no sure if it’s the same on solo but on my server it has slowly pushed one hen too far down to eat, slowly working on it but the process still is good!
@@TotalXclipse fixed for me, used a full door to swing underneath the hens to "reset" position with a gentle bump, inspired by the shutter positioning
I made one of these about a week ago, and it was working fine. I made two new ones (far from each other) and now the hens won't eat. Been this way for about a week.
Clever!
Chickens later eggs perfectly for a few days, now the eggs don’t clip through the roof piece and now they have stopped laying eggs completely. Not sure how to fix this.
Does this chicken farm only work for PC players i've tried many many different builds but none seem to work for me, i've followed every detail step by step, what would the reason be for this not to work?
This farm functions until I roof it. They refuse to eat under a roof despite being bred under a roof in the first place. They also tend to rotate and stay rotated until I kill and replace them, the smalls doors do not help.
for some reason my chickens are avoiding going into the fire. I open them door, I even drop seeds to make them move towards the fire pit, but nope. The just sit on the platform or the last step like there is no tomorrow. They'd rather die of smoke suffocation randomly than do the last couple steps in. However, make them drop eggs is not that problematic, there are a lot of ways to squeeze them in position and make some gap in a floor or even make them to go through the texture. Burning or slaughter room mechanic doesn't work for me tho.
Hmm I'm thinking about doing a puffer fish system, might be the solution
Use his first design. Put 1x1floors above the fire so hens will think it is safe to go. Fire cannot be too close to floor or hens see the fire and won't go in.
I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the eggs aren't falling.
Also, an ingredients list at the beginning would've been immensely useful, rather than having to run around and constantly grab things (like the iron, and the bronze nails). And a quick note at the beginning instead of at the end about building it away from base structures would've been helpful. I got through the majority of the build before hearing that.
i dont see a video above for the culling station
What’s the other video on the slaughter section?
I love your content, but I have rebuilt this build step by step 4 times now and the chickens do not eat.
1st off you warn us early that we don't need to care about how the chickens hatch because you will fix that leter with swinging doors.
That is wrong.
My chickens ALWAYS spawn on top of each other and that makes placing the swinging doors near impossible without jumping on top of them and making a dozend other doors to try to reposition them. I have not yet tried, but my guess would be that it is better to put ALL of those swinning doors in place before you breed anything.
Beyond that, my chicks don't eat.
They often stack on top of each other, if there is another breeder within a mile of it then it doesn't work at all, but more frustrating, once I have removed all other chicks/hens/eggs from the area, they refuse to look at the feed. they just keep trying to crawl up the hachery.
If anyone can help explain what I am doing wrong please do. I'd be happy to provide picts or video or server access. I am inclined to believe that this method doesn't actually work.
Having the same problem, they wont eat
Honestly not sure of the issue you're having, I've built it a total of 7 times and not had a single issue, even when they stack on top of one another.
Although when you mention the chickens spawn on top of one another, do you make sure to throw them in so that the eggs land separated?
also having the problem with chickens not eating
i just used shingle roof as someone else has stated, seems to work
any newer videos that takes the same style but for newer valheim??
Can you cover this to protect them from bats easily enough?
Haven't tried this yet, maybe later on. So what about boar farm?!
when and why did you add the iron wall?
The chickens are not eating the seeds through the wall
Still working this one ? I tried the previous version and didnt worked for me
Still working. Just avoid centering the hens with the shutters.
Is there a way you can put the world or plan build up on your Patreon? If it’s there maybe I missed it only saw some other game lol
I've not considered putting Valheim up on patreon, I'll look into it.
I built the farm but theyre not eating the seeds. Do you know why?
i just used shingle roof as someone else has stated, seems to work
Is this chicken farm broken now? It has been working for me for a month now but suddenly no eggs are dropping at all. The chickens are happy.. the only thing I can think of is some kind of change in game that has made this non-functional now. Anyone else?
they dont seem to be eating this way. is this only supposed to work after 213?
I've only tried it after 213
hello, does this factory work with patch 0.213.4? :)
Any chance for a planbuild blueprint share
I built this once on older version and it worked perfectly. On public test 0.217.4 it doesn't work for me. Idk if I messed it up or its patch fault again.
Hens just goes on top of each other (not bugged in the same spot like before).
Same issue as many others, built it exactly as instructed, but the hens simply won't eat, rendering it non-functional.
I did mine like @DrRodion said. I deleted the roof pieces meant to slide the feed down... and still had issues, but after a while of test-throws, I found that I wasn't close enough to the wall and it was bouncing too far away. Just keep trying and you will eventually get it. But yeah for me it did not work with the roof/shutter method.
i just used shingle roof as someone else has stated, seems to work
Same. So glad I wasted all that time for nothing.
my chicken are not walking into the fire pit. they get smoked a bit and run away back into the funnel
word, for me the chickens will lay only 2-4 eggs and then stops laying more.
did they patch this too?
So they eat through the halfway?
