Most animals (not pets or wildlife) require a building to house them. These may be obtained from [[Robin]] at the [[Carpenter's Shop]], and usually require three days each for her to build. Baby "farm animals" (and related equipment needed for harvesting produce) can then be bought from [[Marnie's Ranch]]. Animals may also be hatched from an [[Incubator]]. As soon as an animal is acquired, it must be assigned to an existing farm building of the right kind, which is designated as its home. Each building has a limit to the number of animals to which it can serve as home. If at any later time, you wish to assign an animal to a different building, you can pet it, and the pop-up information box that appears has a control that allows you to make the reassignment. | Most animals (not pets or wildlife) require a building to house them.
