TR,

I'm still working on this one. The settlers carried their hens in small cages hung alone the sides of the wagons. They got bounced around quite a bit and still produced. It's probably not worth the effort over the long haul but, other than perhaps attracting unwanted attention, trying it early on wouldn't threaten the mission.

Are beasts of burden permitted now? Or are you just challenging us to consider the logistics of their use?
