Craft Priority

If I have two idling dwarves with the same skill in a craft, will the game choose the higher level one to get on the job? I assume the nature of this game would pretty much mean a resounding "no" to my question, but I thought I'd ask.

Nope!

You can manually set a workshop's skill level, but otherwise the game grabs the nearest eligible dwarf. Or possibly the nearest, it seems pretty random most of the time.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.
