== Description ==
''A small house where female chickens are kept safe and secure''.
Used to store and feed [[Hen|hens]] and collect [[Egg|eggs]].
Coops contain multiple sub items inside.== Usage ==
* Coops contain multiple sub items inside:**Nesting Box, this is where the loaded hens reside.**Feeder, this is where you place food.**Drinker, this is where you place water.**Egg Box, this is where you get the eggs from when they are laid.
== Usage ==
* You can only load hens into the coop.
* The "Load Creature" option will not appear if you are leading more than one hen.
* To load a hen, lead it, right click the coop and click "Load Creature".
* To be able to load the creature, there must be water in the drinker and food in the feeder.
* Number of Loadable chicken count hens is QL / 10 + [[Rarity|rarity]] (maximum 13 for a 100 QL Fantastic coop). [[Quality_level|QL]] must be greater than or equal to 10 to load a chicken.
====Feeding and watering====
* You can only put food that can be sown in the ground into the feeder. Example: [[pumpkin]] seed, any grains, or [[corn]].
* You can not put [[Herb]] seeds and [[Mixed_grass|mixed grass]] in the feeder.
* Polling for the feeder and drinker happens every 4 hours, at which time food equal to the number of hens in the coop is subtracted from the feeder.E, e.g. if there are 4 hens loaded, 4 food will be subtracted. Also, 250 grams of water for each hen will be subtracted from the drinker.* If either the feeder or the drinker is empty on egg poll, the chickens will escape the coop onto the center of the tile where the coop resides.
====Egg output====
* Eggs will be created every 12 hours.
* Egg QL is dictated by the QL of the coop.
* Egg count is equal to the count of the chickens.
* If either the feeder or the drinker is empty on egg poll, the chickens will be unloaded on the center of the tile where the coop resides. * '''Eggs in the egg box will not hatch when they decay''', even if they are fertile. Fertile eggs must be on the ground in order to hatch.
====Security====
* Can be placed and planted or secured.
* Coops are [[Permissions#Containers|lockable]] and spawn on creation with a 1.0 QL [[Small_padlock|small padlock]].
* Coops have manageable permissions, like any other lockable container.
