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 is recommended as their mood sometimes becomes "sad" if the gates are left open overnight. Closing the gate before all the animal return inside will just cause the animals to pass through the door.

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 [[Deluxe Coop]] and the [[Deluxe Barn]] will distribute the hay automatically.

The [[Deluxe Coop]] and the [[Deluxe Barn]] will distribute the hay automatically. Each animal eats one "portion" of hay per day.

Once a [[silo]] has been constructed on the farm, using a [[scythe]] on grass will place hay inside the silo (50% chance per grass). Each silo holds 240 pieces of hay. Hay can then be gathered from hoppers inside barns and coops and placed in the feeding bins nearby. Building a silo before building animal buildings can make care much easier, though hay can be purchased from [[Marnie's Ranch]] even if the silo has not been built.
