What many of you forget is that if Toady does something, he does it right. We know we'll get sheep, but only one kind of sheep? Probably not, seeing as there are quite a number of different sheep out there. He didn't put in a generic "small fish", so why should he put in a generic sheep? Same with chickens and pigs, really.
Just because he'll introduce 16 new domestic animals doesn't mean that they are all radically different.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sheep_breeds

DF v1.0 will have ALL OF THEM.

DF v1.0 will have them along with david attenbrough telling a story about them along with an accompanying flash gordonesque rock song.

SHEEP! AAOOOOOOOOOHH! SAVIOR OF THE FORTRESS!

[Deon]

If Ostriches are in, I'm betting Emus are as well.

Bummer. I forgot to add emus.

I'm not "in the know" on this totally, but I'd love to see turkeys as well as chicken!  And maybe quail.

Quails!


And damn, llamas for sure! Guys I love you, thank you for starting this thread. It's a lot of good ideas for a new patch to make until 0.31.19 is out .

The problem with all this is that a species cannot, by definition, reproduce with another species (naturally under normal conditions). "Breeds" in DF are abstracted by castes and size and whatever, as different breeds can still breed with each other. Therefore, there will be ONE kind of sheep (ovis aries) unless non-domestic sheep are considered domestic (which is possible, as wolves, tigers, swine, and the like can be tamed).

Breeds aren't specified in the raws. Breeds are generated dynamically in DF, as animals are generated with random traits, and then they breed like normal. Certain traits become more dominant, and thus a distinct breed comes into existance.

They are specified in the raws. It's the POP_RATIO token. There are no "dominant traits".

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that mentioned about 6 or 7 different domestic animals, the only one significant that I remember being cave tortoises. I don't remember where I read it, though.

Are you sure you were not confused? I have cave tortoises in genesis.

[UristMcDwarf]

And Fluffy Wamblermen.

...

See you in the RAWS.

[RayesKotrora]

That might be possible. I was skimming through the forums the other day and I probably just saw that. Either way cave tortoises would be a good idea in vanilla.

I love tortoises

[Cruxador]

Peafowl (ie, peacocks and peahens) were just confirmed as one of the sixteen in the Donation Drive thread,

[Blargityblarg]

Fuck yes ostriches.

I lived on an ostrich farm until I was five.

...
Fish, which might be made tamable in the next version, but probably not:
Goldfish
Common carp

Domesticated carp. DF is finally getting its WMDs.

You say that now. But wait until your weaponsmith fails a fey mod due to lack of wool cloth.

[Nilik]

8 types of sheep, 8 types of chicken. With cave, flying, aquatic and fire-breathing varieties of each.

And of course the dreaded.... undead chicken!

[Untelligent]

And of course the dreaded.... undead chicken!

How... ominous.

[freeformschooler]

Wait... what?

Could that have gotten any more win?
