Breeding

Breeding is a cra’s passion. It takes all her time and she even has managed to infect eni and our new friend sram with it. Nowadays they all spend hours racing dragoturkeys in the paddocks. Moreover they made sadi responsible for selling chickens and old enu for storing valuable species as a reserve. But the worst in this story that they talked me into training chickens.
Dragoturkeys must be mature and trained a bit to be able to mate. And, of course, I understand the maturity requirement, but training? Why should a bird be experienced in a battle to become fertile? I don’t get it. It should be in their veins, on the instinct level, but, unfortunately, it just doesn’t work like this…
Anyway, today I trained thirteen birds. I was tired and didn’t want to continue, but eni gave me more chickens and reminded me about one hundred chickens in the shed waiting for my attention. And she made it sound like taking care of them is nothing difficult. “Birdies will just tag along with you while you are hunting kanigers, they won’t need much effort from you”, – eni said. I wish it was true.
However, chickens can’t be trained in groups, only one at the time. And it has one good reason – no matter how you try you can’t mount more than one of them. Therefore I also have to spend all my time on stupid things, even I promised sram some help with mastering hunter profession. But to tell the truth she doesn’t worry about it, too busy with her dragoturkeys…
