OK, I have been playing the game since alpha and I am at the tip top of the Animal Kinship skills tree but the chicken/pig disparity has been bugging me for a while.
When I pet a pig (two times per pig per day) and two nibbles per day, I seem to receive XP each time. On the other hand when I squeeze a chicken, most times I just expend energy and get grain... no mood boost, no XP. This makes no logical sense to me. It makes more sense to me to grow the grain and avoid the chickens altogether if I am simply expending energy.
