Russian Family Fest Event (July 10-24)

[Bhodho]

Just quick calculations.
At the worst (without skips) you need 3,264 normal chickens to breed 51 Monocle Cocks...
And that requires a total of 65,025 Soya Beans.
All in 13 days...
Good luck.

-edit- Soya Beans required is 65,025 and not 16,065 as initially calculated.

Thanks for that Bhodo

I'm already plotting but hardly know where to start, just got all my chicken pens out anyway!

At least we get 4 matruscka chickens for one normal, that gives us poor farmers at least a smal chance. But your numbers make me want to hide in a corner and wait till the Russians are gone again! Seems like we're going to need an insane amount of everything. Just hope the skipping steps in the breeding process happens a lot!

We'll see. Remember there is growing soya beans, raising normal chickens and breeding.
Those numbers are huge by any count...

You could just grow 6500 chickens... one field of 44 pens will do it with water and time to spare... and you can use the other fields with a +3 to stock up on crops and not grow any soya or breed at all.

(plus it's 15 soya per feed not 5, so 45000 soya at least)

EDIT:

With skips (assuming they are the same chance as normal... 11%) you'd need about 2300 breedings, 1750 chickens and 35000 soya...
3 days to grow the chickens with two fields covered, 10 days to breed with 2 fields covered in breeding huts (no rune, jelly or pheromones), 6 days of the glade and island with a +3 to grow the soya, 12 days with just PJ.
Definitely doable in two weeks if you have the time to get the harvests in.

Which is why I wrote: 'a small chance'

But you're right, the numbers are huge enough to intimidate everyone who doesn't already have thousand of chickens. And I don't have the CC's to fill a whole field with pens unfortuntaly, let alone enough feed although my mill is now making so much overtime I fear it might break down completely before the end of the day! I think I'm just going to take it one step at a time...

8800 cc? you can make that back in 2 harvests with the current price of chickens... and it's still climbing.

And I needed a break from events anyway

6,500 from 44 fields = 147 harvests.
Assuming each takes 1 hour to harvest that's 147 hours, and assuming you have 10 hours a day, that's 14.7 days total required. Chickens only.

If you have the time to harvest, i said Interesting that you pick 10 hours there. Two fields worth would do it in 7 days at 10 hours a day. And you would be doing chickens only, as they would be turned into 26000 cc worth of level 1 chickens, more than enough to complete the event.
