🦆 Ostrich

Ostriches are exotic farm animals that can be hatched from Ostrich Eggs found in the Volcano Dungeon on Ginger Island. They produce valuable Ostrich Eggs every 7 days when properly cared for, making them unique among farm animals. Ostriches require a Deluxe Barn to house them and take 15 days to mature from chicks to adults.

When happy and well-fed, ostriches provide large, valuable eggs that can be processed into premium mayonnaise or used in cooking. They are perfect for late-game players who have accessed Ginger Island and want to diversify their livestock with rare animals.

🏠 Care & Housing
