====Grass & Hay====
Opening the gates of a [[Coop]] or [[Barn]] will allow animals to come outside (when the [[weather]] is not rainy, snowy, or stormy) and eat [[grass]]. The animals will return to their buildings by 6pm to sleep. Closing the gates again in the evening will prevent them from leaving immediately in the morning to eat grass. They can be opened again during the day to allow them to eat. Closing the gate before all the animals have returned will result in the ones being left out over night making them vulnerable to wolves and if not eaten they will have their mood reduced from being left out in the cold.
Opening the gates of a [[Coop]] or [[Barn]] will allow animals to come outside and eat [[grass]]. Even so, they will not go out in winter, or when it is rainy, stormy, or snowy. Animals that do go outside will return to their buildings by 6pm, to sleep. Closing the gates again in the evening prevents them from leaving immediately in the morning to eat grass, which gives you time to pet and tend them without adversely affecting their mood. The gates can then be opened during the day to allow them to eat. If you close the gate before all the animals have returned, the ones left out over night are vulnerable to wolves. If they are not eaten, they become unhappy from being exposed to danger.
If the animals remain inside or do not find grass to eat, they will instead eat hay. To feed them hay you can take some by clicking on the hay hopper (which automatically takes hay from the silo) and put it in the feeding bench. The [[Coop|Deluxe Coop]] and the [[Barn|Deluxe Barn]] will distribute the hay automatically. Each animal eats one "portion" of hay per day.
