Livestock

Animals can be handled once the Animal Husbandry skill is unlocked. Many animals spawn randomly in the wild, while others have complicated rituals involved with luring and capturing them. The current (and probably incomplete) list of animals accounted for in ATITD2 includes:

A Census page of the livestock in Egypt has been established for posterity.

Animal Husbanded

Camels: Lured into a dromedary pen. Every night a camel spawns in each region and enters the dromedary pen with the most straw within. The camel eats all the straw, and bunks down in the pen. It is not uncommon for people to use their pen to store large quantities of straw for use in bricklaying.

Chickens: Live in a chicken coop, where hens will lay eggs and eggs hatch into hens or roosters. Eat Barley. The egg comes first.

Cobras: Live in a serpentarium, slithering and eating eggs, rabbits, chickens and camel milk. Produces cobra skins, cobra venom and cobra blood.

Rabbits: Complicated critters to keep. They require a rabbit hutch to breed in. Breed insanely fast when fed. Eat Carrots.

Sheep: randomly spawn on grassy terrain, frequently in flocks. Must build a sheep pen to keep. Fed onions.

Silkworms: Even more complicated critters. They live in a silkworm farm and must be fed specific thistles to produce raw silk.

Other animals

Beetles (Randomly spawn. In ancient times, they were prized and bred for their coloration and entered into contests of breeding. It is not known to what use Beetles will be put in our time. Ancient species of Beetle ate many cabbages to retain their health and vigor.)

Fishing also produces animal products, but they cannot be corralled and bred by any, even with the skill of Animal Husbandry. We rely on the generosity of Hapi and the Gods of the waters to sustain us with fish.

Misc

There is some suggestion that playing Barry White, Marvin Gaye or other similar music on an mp3 player while attempting to breed sheep or camels has a positive impact on the breeding rate.
