Default How do I take care of my animals?

To care for your animals you need one of these buildings:

You can have one of each type of animal shed per farm.
  • one chicken coop,
  • one wool shed
  • one dairy shed,
  • one pigsty,
  • one rabbit hutch
  • one stables

    Putting a duplicated animal shed on the same farm just acts as decoration. You will be able to see the same animals in both sheds as it mimics what the other one has so that it doesn't matter which one you look in to see if the shed is full. However, when you harvest the animals you only get products from the amount of animals in one of them. For example if you had 250 hens and two chicken coops on the same farm, you only get 250 eggs not 500 when you harvest.

The animal shed can be either regular version OR the super version that holds more animals.
For example:
One chicken coop OR one super chicken coop,
One wool shed OR one super wool shed,
One Stables (25 FC) OR one stables 28 FC OR one Super stables (50 FC) and so on.

If you put a second of the same type of animal shed on the same farm it, the duplicate behaves as decoration and mimics the information in the other shed but you only get products from one of them when you harvest.


Chicken Coop (Poultry)
This building allows you to collect the following to use in your facilities or you can sell them at market. You can collect the eggs and feathers daily:
  • Eggs from Hens and Geese (Hens, and Geese are on the gift page)
  • Feathers from Turkeys (Turkeys are on the gift page)
  • Feathers from Peacocks and Ostrich (Animals section of the store)



Super Chicken Coop (Poultry)
Same as above but you can collect twice a day.
Notes:
The Hen (gift page) and the Leghorn Hen (Animals section of the store) produce hen eggs NOT the yellow chicken.




The Ostrich from the Animal section of the store produces feathers not the decorative ones from the Farm Decor section.


The Turkey from the Animal section of the store produces feathers not any decorative or seasonal turkeys.



The Peacock from the Animal section of the store produces feathers not any decorative peacocks we may get.




Wool Shed
This building allows you to collect the wool from Sheep and Llamas (Animals section of the store), to use in your facilities or you can sell at market. You can harvest once every two days.

Super Wool Shed
Same as above but you can collect once a day.
Note:
The Llama and Heavywool Llama (Animals section of the store) produce llama wool NOT any of the Llamas from the Farm Decor section of the store.
The Sheep and the Heavywool Sheep (Animals section of the store) produce sheeps wool. The Lamb does not produce sheep wool. The Sheep in the farm decor section of the store does NOT produce sheep wool.





Dairy Shed (Dairy)
This building allows you to collect the milk of Cows and Goats (Cow and Goats are on the gift page), to use in your facilities or you can sell them at the market. You can collect them once every eight hours.

Super Dairy Shed (Dairy)
Same as above. The only difference is they hold twice as much.
Note: The Cow (gift page) and the Holstein Cow (Animals section of the store) produce cow milk NOT any of the Cows in the Farm Decor section.



Pigsty
This building allows you to collect the manure from Pigs (Pigs are on the gift page) to fertilise your farms. You can collect once every 12 hours. Note: you can NOT harvest pigs until you own a manure spreader as the manure harvested from pigs gets stored with the manure spreader. Manure can not be sold.
The only Pig that produces manure is the one from the gift page NOT any of the ones in the Farm Decor section of the store.



Rabbit Hutch
This building allows you to collect White Rabbit Fleece from your White Rabbits (Animals section of the store). You can collect once every 2 days.


Super Rabbit Hutch
Same as above except collection is once daily
Note: The White Rabbit produces rabbit fleece not the Bunny or the Bunny Decor.


OR Horse stable
This building allows you to collect horse hairs from Both the Horse and Clydesdale (both horses are on the gift page). You can collect once every 2 days.


Super Horse stable
Same as above collection time is every 8 hours.
These are the horses that will produce Horse Hair when harvested


The Arabian horse and other horses from the Farm Decor section of the Store can NOT be harvested.




Each regular animal building will hold 250 of each type of applicable animal. The super animal buildings will hold 500 of each type of applicable animal.

The buildings show the amount of time left until your next collection when you hover over them with your mouse.

Farm Cash animals produce 30 times more than the regular animal.
If you have a Farm Cash animal in a super animal building it will produce 60 times more.

The Super Animals are:
  • Leghorn Hen
  • Holstein Cow
  • Longwool Sheep
  • Heavywool Llama

Warning: depending on the capabilities of your computer, too many animals on your farm, that are not in animal sheds, can slow your game, cause a farm to be hard to open, or even crash your browser.


IMPORTANT: If you own the Animal Harvesters and have made a farm a Quest Farm, the animals on that farm will not be harvested when you use the Harvest All at the top of the Facility Manager.
