who needs knowledge when one is on an errand for god?

Rhutabaga - I assume.  Never had any, don't intend to start now.

Rhubbarb can also be farmed.

Roosters can be farmed.

Since we are talking make-believe, why not just have God put them into a magic form of cryo-sleep, so that they don't need to eat?

As for their being too many species to fit in the Arc, why not imagine that God used a shrink ray when they boarded, and reversed it when they disembarked?

Its a myth.  It isn't history.

because taking baby mammals doesn't require a huge leap of faith, and it is still consistent to the directions God gave.. it's just kinda common sense thing to do if you had to load up species that would normally want to feed on each other or require literal tons of food/meat for a given journey.

There are several dozen if not hundreds of cultures all of which have a flood narrative in their history. to say the flood is not a historic event is ignoring the historical evidence that speaks to the contrary.

do a wiki search for "list of flood myths" and there are several dozen that are compiled there.

Yeah, there was a flood, but no ark, no animals on the ark, no Noah.

Some chickens can put out 2 to 300 eggs per year. do you think there were no chickens? 

So.. let's say god sent Noah live birds and or reptiles.. and 1 chicken lays a few dozen eggs.. Noah sees this chicken that takes up/Needs say 2 cubic feet to live... but the dozen or so eggs it laid in the last week early takes up 1/2 a cubic foot. which one do you think someone responsible for getting 7 pairs of clean animals and 2 pairs of unclean animals on a limited food and space hand built wooden ship?

Not not say every animal needed to be an egg or baby. just the big ones, the dangerous ones or the ones who eat non stop. Why wouldn't someone do this? If Elon makes it to mars and the goal is to colonize the planet do you think he is sending live chickens who need a whole host od support to keep live? or a few dozen trays of fertile eggs in stasis where He could choose the time and place to incubate the eggs?

If a 4 year old could make this call (as to which passenger chicken or egg is more efficient to transport) Why is it your opinion the man who built a boat big enough to save creation would be too stew-pid to have the spacial reasoning of a current 4 year old?

Bold mine 
Wouldn't the dairy animals need to be pretty big if they are going to produce milk for all the little ones?  

Explain it like a 4 year old.

Actually no. The reason we call dairy animals 'Dairy animals" is not just because they lactate. but because they do so in abundance. meaning they produce more milk than that the baby needs to survive. For instance there are dairy cows who produce several gallons of milk a day. all of this milk production makes their bone and muscle structures smaller/weaker than what we would consider a meat cow. as their bodies will even scavenge itself inorder to produce milk.

Same thing in goats. We have Nigerian dwarf goats. They are a breed of dairy Goat. the awesome thing about them is they are 1/2 the size of a normal goat. They eat 1/2 the food but produce the same amount of milk as a full size goat and it is richer and sweeter. 

So to keep three animals alive, you only need to feed one from your stock pile of resources. Feed one dairy goat she produces milk the will deed two or more babies. Not only that all you need to now store in resources is one type of hay/food. Rather than having to keep 100s of different types of food or even meat.

Other wise you would have to feed 3 adult animals an adult portion from your limited stock of resources. whether that be hay, meat or what have you

What makes more sense? feeding one type of animal (dairy goats or cows or whatever) from your stored up hay, or each adult animal an adult portion from the many different food stores you would then have to have to support all of them?

Myths aren't history. They're fiction stories with cultural elements.
