If the hen had sex with a rooster not long ago, she'll probably lay a full egg; otherwise she'll lay an empty egg. The eggs you may buy in a shop are not "full" (accidents are rare, it has happened to me only once to find a dead chick embryo in an egg). Now, on the new topic. I've no experience with yaks; but goats are devious, cruel creatures. If you want to keep your goat leashed, you'll need to have a Str score or at least 14, I think. I've found out that if you want to move a goat, it's easier to lift and carry it than to try to make that retive quadruped move against its will. Trust me, the bonus against trip and bull rush from being a quadruped is justified, and probably a bit weak.A goat will frequently attempt to escape in order to eat some plants it has seen nearby. Furthermore, it will also attempt to eat your clothings if they're not tight, and your hair if they're long.As for cows, that's easier to get them to cooperate than goats, but there's a reason humans used oxen, not cows nor bulls, as pack animals. Cows are easily frightened. And you will not be able to move a cow against her will -- the beast weights around 500 kg (1000 pounds) and has four legs. A workaround is to have a mare. Put a lone mare with a cow herd, and she will become the "alpha cow". All cows will follow her. (It may works with male male horses as well, I don't know.) Then, you just have to mount on your horse and the cattle will follow.However, if something frighten your cattle, the cows will run away. And a frightened cow runs fast -- too fast to stop instantly when the beast discover it's heading into danger, like a crevice. They tend to act panicky and get killed. If what has frightened your cow is the howling of worgs nearby, she may run into the predators...For an adventurer, hunting and gathering are less problematic. Cattle requires you to be settled, or to move in safe territory.</blockquote>
