Can I consistently clone chickens?
After unlocking access to Viktor's Workshop and its Slimeulations, one of the first rewards from successfully catching Glitch Slimes and submitting their bug reports is the so-called Chicken Cloner, which promises to "Double your chickens, half of the time". The other half, the chicken is simply vaporized with no trace.
Now, mathematically speaking, if each chicken has a 1/2 chance of being destroyed, and a 1/2 chance of producing another chicken, then the expected number chickens from each cloning attempt is... 1. No gain, no loss. Can I improve my chances and clone more chickens consistently, somehow?
Best Answer
If you have a lot of chickens, you can attempt to clone a single chicken, if it dissapears, put twice as many chickens inside the cloner.
This only fails when you no longer have enough chickens to double the amount, hence giving you good odds of getting one chicken and very small odds of losing a whole lot of chickens. The wiki mentions no way to increase the odds.

Normal cloning does not work in birds because eggs cannot be removed and implanted. Instead, the company is trying to bulk-grow embryonic stem cells taken from fertilised eggs as soon as they're laid.How does the chicken duplicator work?
Usage. The Chicken Cloner is capable of cloning chickens, with a 50% success rate. If successful, two chickens will appear when one is shot in. If unsuccessful, the chicken shot into the cloner will be deleted.Why can't we clone chickens?
