Switch About animals – already petted and produce collected without interaction

[りりあ]

I'm playing Stardew Valley in multiplayer mode on the Nintendo Switch.
Starting around Spring 6 of Year 2, some of my animals (like chickens and cows) are already marked as petted and their produce is already collected, even though I haven't interacted with them at all.
Note: this only happens to a few animals, not all of them.
This has been happening for several days in a row, and it's causing a decrease in the amount of animal products I can collect.
Is this a bug?

Are you married? Spouses sometimes do things around the farm iirc.

Could you share some screenshots?
Are the animals all in the same barn/coop?
did you happen to get an auto grabber or auto petter recently?

I'm not married in the game!
After turning the power off and reloading the game several times, the issue was resolved!!

There aren't many places in Japan where I can ask these kinds of questions,
so I was really happy to receive your comment!!!!
Thank you so much!!!

Wishing something wonderful happens to my kind friend across the ocean♡

The animals are separated into a barn and a coop, and in each building, two animals were experiencing the issue.
I haven't bought the Auto-Grabber or Auto-Petter yet, since they're still a bit too expensive for me...

It might be a bug, especially since it’s only hitting a few animals. Have you tried saving, closing the game completely, and restarting the Switch? Sometimes that clears up funky stuff like this.
