I love the idea of chickens in VV3....forget the mushrooms.....have a crate of chickens wash in.....make it so the chickens are free range, yet breedable....you can have the children collect eggs or leave them on the ground hoping they hatch. Perhaps eggs not collected get rotten and cause illness in anyone who is near them when they dissappear .....so it would be a good idea to collect them, unless you think they are fertilized and are going to hatch into chickens.....and the chickens could be picked up and added to the food supply....perhaps 3 food points for an egg and 10 for a chicken....
