The unlock requirements for feeding a chicken is asinine.
Why is it harder to make a box of grass than it is to make a furnace and an \*airship?\*
Chickens survive off of bugs and seeds. Irl you can own a chicken basically for free. They will feed themselves half the time. Why would they be locked behind learning how to smelt iron and copper?
It makes no logical sense and is rather immersion breaking tbh.
Edit: wait, it gets even better. You unlock **farming and animal care decorations** before knowing how to take an egg from a chickens nest. You can make a birdbath and a birdhouse but you don't know how to throw seeds on the ground still.
