Default Can I place the animals in buildings?

Q: Can I place the animals in buildings?
A: Yes, animals can go into buildings. There are several ways to do this....




One by one........
  • Click on the animals and the menu now includes adding to building.


  • You will get a confirmation pop up to add the animal to the building.



Moving multiple Animals from farm to their buildings....
Click on the "Add to Animal to Building" Tool located in the Yellow Toolbox, then click the animals you want to store. Click on the green man to stop using the tool. There must be enough room in the animal building to house the animals. Maximum of 250 of each type for regular sheds, 500 of each type for super sheds.

To move animals in bulk from the farm to their buildings you can purchase the Herding Robot.

Animals received as gifts can be stored into their buildings straight from the gift box as long as there is enough room in the building of the farm you are on. Just click "Store".


Moving multiple Animals from Item Storage to their buildings....
You need to have enough space in the animal sheds on your farm to put them in.
  • Go to a farm that has animal sheds with space for animals.
  • Open your Item storage to "Animals"
  • Hover over the box with the animal in it that you want to store into the shed and you will see "Move".
  • Click "Move" and the animals will go into the appropriate shed. IF you have a lot of animals, it will store as many animals as you have room for in the shed.


There are 2 ways to see how many animals are in a building:

Method 1. When you don't have many animal buildings...
Click on the building and select "Show Animals Inside".



Then you can see the amount of animals.


Method 2. When you have many animal buildings on many farms...
You can tell at a glance how many animals are in an animal building by using the Facility Manager in your Tool Box. Open the Facility manager and click on the Funnel Icon and make sure you have the following selected. When you have made the changes to the Facility Filter click the green check mark to save.



Each animal shed will show you how many animals are in it. To save space the Farm Cash Animals are shortened to HT Cow (Holstein Cow), LH Hen (Leghorn Hen), HW Llama (Heavywool Llama) and LW Sheep (Longwool Sheep).

The following example shows a Super Chicken Coop on Farm 6, ready to harvest in 10.2 hours with 250 Hen, 100 Leghorn Hen, 250 Turkey, 250 Goose and 200 Peacocks.

If the animal shed is ready to harvest, instead of the time under the building you will see Ready to Harvest in green.

Which buildings do the animals go in?
  • Cows and Goats go in the Dairy shed.
  • Calf's also be put in the Dairy shed but currently have no use in facilities.
  • Sheep and llamas go in the Wool Shed.
  • Hens, Geese, Turkeys, Peacocks and Ostrich go in the Chicken Coop (costs 40,000 coins).
  • Roosters, Chickens (yellow) and Ducks can also be put in the Chicken Coop but currently have no use in facilities.
  • Pigs go in the Pigsty.
  • Horses, both Clydesdale and the brown Horse, go in the Stables.
  • Camels and Donkeys can also be put in the Stables but currently have no use in facilities.
  • Brown Dogs and Border Collies can be put in the Dog House but currently have no use in facilities.
  • Cats can be put in the Cat House but currently have no use in facilities.

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
The limit of each type of animal in each building is 250. So you can have 250 cows and 250 goats in the dairy shed.

The Super sheds will hold 500 of each animal.
