So here I am, setting up base in a boreal forest with the goal of creating an army of War Alpacas, when a group of chickens decide to brave the sub-zero temperatures to join my colony. Okay, I think as I continue on, oblivious, letting them do their thing.
I cull all but one of the oldest males and one or two of the older females just to prevent overbreeding, all the while storing eggs in my freezer.
