Hey, Hey, Hey! It’s Thursday and time for another fabulous Spotlight from yours truly!  In the Spotlight today we are going to talk about breeding set ups.  People ask me all the time how I have my animals set up and what ratio of boys to girls work best so today we are going to explore that in this Spotlight.

First off I want to let you all know that I don’t believe any set up is “wrong” or “right” it only matters what works for You.  I have experimented over the years with different ways I set up my animals and have for over a year been using my current set up which consists of skyboxes that have 9 individual pens built into them.  Inside each of these skyboxes I have the ability to set up 9 different breeding groups with whatever ratio of boys to girls that I have to go in particular pens.

I’m going to start with the Horses and show you some of the pens I have with different ratio’s going.  Be sure to pay close attention to the stats of each of these groups.  Why you ask? Well if you look at each of the stats below you will see what the differences are in using 1 male and 3 females as opposed to using 1 male and 4 females or 5 females.

Now you see looking at the picture above only 1 of the females is pregnant and the other 2 are in recovery while the male is already back at 100% fervor and waiting on a girl.

The next picture above shows 1 male and 4 females.  You will notice immediately that you have 1 pregnant girl, 2 girls in recovery and 1 girl already building fervor.  So the 1 male who is at 60% fervor already is keeping up nicely with 4 females and not having to wait on a date!

Finally in the horse groups this last picture shows 5 females and 1 male.  Here you’ll notice that 2 girls are pregnant, 2 are in recovery and there is 1 already building fervor.  Now this 1 male is maybe a little tired but he’s still keeping up with these females very well also.

So these same set ups work for the K-9’s and again you just need to play with what works best for you.  Right now this is the only breeding group of K-9’s I have but I still wanted you to see the stats and that you can group them just like I have the horses above.

See there is 1 male and 3 females so 2 of the girls are in recovery and 1 is building heat.  The male is standing back there waiting for a girl to build heat, so in my opinion I should have 1 more female so that I can keep this male busy at all times!

The Barnyard Birds are a different ratio than the horses and K-9’s.  The Birds are 1 to 1 ratio meaning that 1 male will breed with 1 female and then they will both be in recovery so this is how I have my birds set up.

You see I have a pair of birds in each corner of the pen.  This keeps them in range of their food but out of the range from breeding with another bird in the pen.

You see this couple above is nesting after having a nest and they will be ready to have another one in 2 days.

Keep in mind with any set up that you chose you must make sure that the range on the breedables needs to be set so that they can reach the food you put out for them.  Each and everyone of my animals are set with a range of 5 and I have no problems whatsoever with them eating or breeding.  Again, experiment and find what works best for You!

Until next time Happy Breeding!!!
