Animal Housing
Animal Housing is a BCU-dependent utility item that allows the player to domesticate small animals, like Chickens and Rabbits. This allows for better quality resources.
Once a chicken reaches Level 3 (max without upgrades), they will start laying Eggs each time they reach a new level (up to Level 10, max with free range upgrade).
Repair this item by using [ LClick ] with Hammer (essentially hitting it with the hammer).
