A Quick Guide to Animals in FarmVille

There are an ever-growing number of animals that you can choose to keep on your farm in FarmVille. It can be a lot of fun to collect as many as you can of the ones you like, and animals add a lot to your farm. They also provide some revenue, although the amount varies a great deal with the type of animal you're collecting from. There are certainly plenty of reasons to keep all of these animals, but they do take up space. In order to make sure that you're not sacrificing too many of your resources for the animals you're supporting, you should consider a few things when you're deciding which animals to keep.

Space Savers

On your farm, space is always at a premium. That's why it's a good idea to focus on raising the animals that will take up the least amount of space. This list include the obvious smaller animals, like ducks and bunnies, but also a couple of others you might not expect. As long as you have enough neighbors (or enough farm cash) you can purchase dairy farms to keep your cows in. These hold up to 20 cows (or 19 cows and 1 bull) each, and you can buy as many as you want.

Not only do dairy farms take up much less space than 20 individual cows would, they're also much easier to collect from. With one click, you can harvest the milk from all 20 cows within your dairy farm. And cows aren't the only one's who get this type of special accommodations. Building yourself a chicken coop will save you time and space in the same way by giving you a place to house up to 20 chickens. Unfortunately, there is a limit of 1 chicken coop per farm, so you're best off keeping your total chicken population to 20 so they'll all fit in the coop.

Where to Get 'Em

All of these animals also don't come from the same place. In fact, the only animals you can buy with coins as this point are sheep and pigs. These animals are fine to have around, but they're not particularly space efficient, nor do they bring in a ton of revenue. There are a few other specialty animals that you can buy only with farm cash – several special varieties of chickens and an orange tabby, at the moment. And there are usually a few seasonal specials too that are only available for a limited time.

All About Gifts

You shouldn't need to buy any animals at all though if you're patient and have managed to accumulate a few good neighbors. There are quite a few different kinds of animals available as gifts, and if you get them this way, they're free. That means that you don't have to wait until you've made back the purchase price to start making money off of these animals. You can also get many more types of animals this way, so just tell your friends what you'd like to receive.
