    Starving Chicken Won't Eat???

    in The Sims 4 Packs Discussion
    Hi all. Can somebody please help me before I throw my PC out of the window? Lol. My Sim has a chicken thinking about leaving because she is starving. I am not kidding, I have used the interaction to feed this specific chicken about 6 times, and she doesn't make any move to eat. I have even reset her (debug). What am I supposed to do? As far as I can tell there isn't even a cheat to fill Cottage Living animals needs? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

      I had a chicken get "stuck" such that I couldn't do any of the socialization actions nor feed it an animal treat once, but never one that wasn't eating at all.

      For me, I was still able to do the interaction of picking it up (adding it to the sim's inventory) and when I put it back down it got unstuck.
      This post will be edited by StormKeep at some point.

      Thanks Stormkeep. Maybe if I put it in my inventory and get it out again it may fix things then. Worth a shot!

      I've noticed that some chicken don't like to be fed by hand. You could also try adding more scattered food piles around the coop, see if that makes a difference.

      Thanks Kironide. I didn't realise you could feed chickens by hand. When I click to feed a specific chicken my sims just seem to scatter feed everywhere like when you use the coop. There was no feed left after doing this about 6 times because every other chicken was eating except the one that was actually hungry, lol.

      You can also upgrade the chicken coop to be an auto feeder so you don't have to worry about your chickies starving. :)
      In my house, dog hair sticks to everything but the dog.

      I was having this problem too. I thought it was because there was snow on the ground and the chicken could not see the food...but the other two chickens were eating and it wasn't a problem. I ended up selling the chicken. Next time I'll try putting in my inventory. And I didn't know you could upgrade the coop with an auto feeder! I always do the 'fox alarm' first.

      Thanks for all your responses! The problem seemed to right itself the next time I loaded the game up, but I will remember these comments if it happens again. :)
