How to Buy and Store Animals in Animal Buildings.
Animals that you want to place on farms like to be placed on a totally clear spot on your farm.
Please do find a clear spot to place them especially when Buying any Farm Cash Animals, so that they do not go missing, especially if you also tend to have a considerable amount of items on the farm that you are buying them on.
Remember to show everything on your farm so you can see where there is clear space.
Some working animals that can be bought in the Store are in the Animals section.
There are also some decorative animals in the Animal section and are also in other sections of the store like Farm Decor. Some decorative animals can only be earned as rewards in the Farm Pass feature.
Decorative animals do not provide any products for your facilities.
To BUY an animal:
You will need enough coins and or Farm Cash for the animal that you wish to buy.
Some cost coins, some cost Farm Cash.
Open the Store and find the animal that you want to buy.
You can use the search bar in the store to type in the name of the animal or several names of animals to show less other animals.
These are the working animals that when harvested will give you animal products that you can use in your facilities:
Buy When you click on Buy then click on a clear spot on your farm the animal will be placed and the coins or Farm Cash deducted. You will also earn some XP (experience points) You can then carry on clicking on your farm, to buy more of them. When you are done, click on the green man in your game bar to stop purchasing.
You can only Buy Farm Cash Animals one at a time.
Multiple To use this button, requires owning the Herding Robot. If you do not own it you will be shown a popup asking if you wish to buy it.
Clicking the green check mark on the popup takes you to the Tools section of the store where you would be able to purchase it.
Clicking on the red X closes the popup and shows you the animals again.

Remember that some working Animals are only available as gifts. Your Neighbours and Buddies can send you them.
Buying Animals without owning the Herding Robot:
Click on the Buy button on any coin animal then click on the farm to place it.
If you want more of them you can click on the animal on the farm to see the animals menu then click on Buy Multiple to buy more with each click.
Warning when buying many animals, one at a time!
Never buy too many animals at one time:
Animated animals can be a big drain on resources, particularly on a computer that does not have much RAM memory. Animated animals take much longer to load than non-animated ones. If you buy too many at once before sending them to animal buildings or storing them in your Item storage, you could end up not being able to load that farm. Test buying a small amount then gradually increase it if you have no problems with that.
As you buy more animals, pay attention to the save counter top right of your game screen! If you see a red number on the save Icon top right of the game screen and it's climbing high, stop buying them and see how long it takes to count back down! You MUST allow that number to count down and clear before you reload or refresh the farm or you could lose what you have bought.
Examples of what you could see on the save icon:
The higher the number the longer the it will take to save what you have done. When you are over 99 saves you will see plus icons on the save icon and that will take quite some time to finish loading them all!!:
You will be warned once that you have a lot of animals on your farm, if you click too fast you could close that popup before you've had a chance to read it. That pop up warns you that too many animals on a farm can cause your game to run slow.
Example of the warning popup:
There will be ONE other warning when you reach the maximum animals allowed per farm that are not stored in animal buildings. Depending on your computer, you may not be able to load a farm with the maximum amount of animals on it, so if you are not sure do not try to buy all the animals that will fit in an animal shed at once, try buying only 50 animals and see how long it takes your computer to save those and then how long for you to store or send those animals to their animals sheds before you continue with any more.
Example of the last warning popup up:
At this point you will not be able to put more animals on that farm. If that farm is loading slow, you will have to place animals either into sheds on that farm or place them into Item storage to go into other animal shed where there is room for them or sell them to reduce the amounts on that farm.
Once you have bought some animals. you will then need to store each of your animals in it's shed.
This is easier to do with the Add to Animal building tool in your toolbox.
Open your toolbox, click on the tool then click on the animal to add it to your animal building one at a time.
If you run out of room in your animal shed and still have some on the farm and you want to put them in another shed on a different farm you could use the Add to Item Storage tool in your Toolbox.
Open your toolbox, click on the tool then click on the animal to add it to your Item storage one at a time.
If you try to place an animal on a spot where something else is you will see the generic warning message appear near the top of your game screen:
If you place them too close to something or on top of something, they can wander onto something like crops and can get stuck there and then you may not be able to move them to a new spot or store them.
If you click on a spot that is already occupied by something else the animal can show up in a different place on your farm. This is likely to happen on farms with a considerable amount on them.
Buying Animals when owning the Herding Robot
The Herding Robot makes buying and filing animals buildings much faster.
You can fill an animal shed to full capacity with far less effort.
You just need the amount of coins needed for the amount of coin animals you want to buy.
Farm Cash Animals still need to be bought one at a time.
Find the coin animal in the Store that you want to buy, then click on Multiple, click on the amount you want to buy.
In this example the maximum is 300 as the animal building is the coin rabbit hutch which has the capacity to hold 300 white rabbits.
You will then see a confirmation popup that tells you what animal you are buying, the amount and the cost.
Clicking the red X cancels the purchase.
Clicking the green check mark proceeds with the purchase.
You will then see another popup confirming the purchase was successful ,your coins will be deducted and those animals will be sent straight to the animal shed on your farm that has room for them.
That's it you are done 
Sending Animals in your Giftbox to the Animal building on your farm:
Go to the farm where you have room in your animals sheds to store the animals.
Open your Gift Manager If you need to you can exchange some gifts for animals that you want and accept them.
In the My Gifts section you will see any gifted animals that you accepted.
Each box tells you how many animals there are and has 3 buttons.
In this example there are 7 Goose.
Store - will send your animals to your animal shed that has room for them. In the example, if the farmer has room to put all 7 goose in the chicken coop on the farm they are on, all 7 will be stored in it. If they only have room for 2 goose, 2 will be stored in the animal building leaving 5 in the gift box.
Use - will let you place them on your farm, one at a time. As you click on the farm an animal will be placed until there are none left. If you have a considerable amount of items on that farm, your animal can teleport to a different spot where there is room for it, than where you clicked to place it.
More - will let you post a request for more of those animals to your Neighbours and Buddies, which they will see in their Other Wall Requests page. You will NOT see your own requests there.
