off topic, but is there a way to remove the limit on stoke piles and zones size?

Just add [intelligent] to em' in the creature file and replace the dwarf entity race with chickens.

I think there might be an issue with them having no [grasp] parts? Not sure. If so, make their beaks able to [grasp] and you're golden.

what i meant by "do it all" is that i want them to: attack hostiles, hunt vermins, hunt.i basically want them to do what dogs and cats do.
 as it stand the chickens do have brains so they should be able to grasp. i simply cant get them to attack anything or go for vermins (i want them to kill all the kinds and sizes).

here is the full chicken data as it is right now:
