Default What are the options that appear when I click on an animal?

What are the options that appear when I click on an animal?

Clicking on an animal that is on your farm shows you that Animals Menu.
We are using the White Rabbit that produces rabbit fleece, as an example:



There are various options that allow you to do various things with animals when you click on them.

You can not harvest an animal using this menu.
Animals can only be harvested using the animal buildings they are in.

Each different animal can have different options. You could also see things like, Move, Wander Around, Gobble, Wagging, Sit and so on, some will also make animal noises. Try them out if you are curious


Add to Rabbit Hutch in the white rabbit's case, that will add the white rabbit to your Rabbit Hutch if there is room for it.

Other animals will have the related animal shed listed, like Add to chicken coop for a hen, goose, turkey, peacock, ostrich and add to Wool Shed for llamas and sheep.

Remember that although some other animals can also be put into an animal shed, cats can go into a cat house, dog into a dog house, that those animals do not all produce products. This was a request in the early days of Farm Town to be able to place them in those buildings before some animals were able to be harvested.

Move will let you move the animal to another spot on your farm OR you can use the yellow hand in your tool box click on animals to move it instead, which can be much quicker when you want to move more than one animal or other items including animals.

The little yellow chicken when you make it move is a speedy fellow and runs quite fast, try moving it from one side of a clear farm to the other side and watch it run The yellow chicken does not produce eggs!

When there are a lot of items on your farm, when moving an animal to another spot, it will try to find a clear path to that spot. If there isn't one it will teleport to that spot instead, just like your avatar does when that comes across the same problem.

Wander Around - will make the animal move by itself to another spot, which can be handy if it happens to be in your way. If you have the sound turned on some animals also make a sound when it moves. Not every animal has this capability.

Sell - To be able to sell an animal that is on your farm you must earn the Influential Neighbours Trophy. To earn that trophy you need to have 8 neighbours.

Add to Storage - adds that animal to your Item Storage. You may want to do that if you bought a few more than you needed to fill that shed and have room in another shed on another farm for them.

There are various other commands on different animals, like eat, jump, lay down, sleep, hop, sit, wag tail etc..... just a bit of fun to watch.
For example, the Eat command on a squirrel will make the squirrel sit down and eat a nut. This does not mean they or any of the other animals with the eat command will eat your crops, they are not programmed to do this, so don't worry!



There are tools that can help with bulk storing or deleting animals as well as other items. For details on the tool below click on the name of the Item and it will take you to that post in the Game Guide:
Herding Robot
Tower Crane
Excavator
