'''Animals''' serve as a source of money and resources on your farm. They can typically be obtained only after a building is constructed on the farm that is suitable to house them (a coop for chickens, for example) and with the exception of the horse and the pet, must either be purchased from [[Marnie's Ranch]] or hatched from an [[Incubator]]. In either case, these animals arrive as babies and must grow into adults before they begin producing animal products.

'''Animals''' fulfill several roles on your farm. Some are wildlife, with which you cannot interact. You may have a pet, a cat or dog, with which you can form a friendship. You make get a horse to ride. And of course, you may buy "farm animals" that are a source of various kinds of produce, providing resources and profit.

Animals that live in coops (chickens, ducks, rabbits and dinosaurs) have a chance each morning of producing products that can be gathered on the floor. Using the [[Milk Pail]], cows can usually be milked daily, and goats can usually be milked once every two days. Sheep can be shorn with the [[Shears]] when their wool grows in, and pigs can be let outside to dig up truffles.  

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.

 

Baby farm animals must first mature into adults before they are able to produce animal products. Each morning, adult animals that live in coops (chickens, ducks, rabbits and dinosaurs) have a chance of producing products that can be gathered from the floor of their building. Using the [[Milk Pail]], cows can usually be milked daily, and goats can usually be milked once every two days. Sheep can be shorn with the [[Shears]] when their wool grows in, and pigs can be let outside to dig up truffles that you can then pick up from the barnyard.
