How many animals...?

I actually love petting my animals and getting those little pop up hearts. I'm not playing for any "goal" other than enjoying the game, so simple things like that are enough for me. I particularly like that kissy face some of the white cows make.

Same, I must always pet every rabbit every day. This takes me about an hour in game with 24 rabbits. I am very sad that you cannot pet an animal twice a day, so I am contemplating a third coop.
 
One coop and one barn to begin with. I usually buy or breed animals in pairs, so one chicken of each colour (which makes five in the end, that's enough), two ducks, two rabbits, two dinos / one white and one brown cow, two goats, two pigs. So far I rarely bought sheep, because I get more than enough of the wool I need from the bunnies. In my current save (SVE), however, I wanted to go complete and now I also have two sheep.
I probably will build a second barn as soon as I can breed ostriches. They are the funniest creatures ever, so there might be even 12 of them. :smile:

I worked at a zoo for a while and I can tell you that IRL ostriches are such assholes. Enjoy the virtual version!!

Emus too, and Canadian geese.
In Canada you just learn to let those guys have their own space. It’s sad but hilarious when tourists think they are friendly, you never want to mess with one of them though, especially mothers with chicks.

Emus you just watch from afar and admire, don’t ever try doing anything more.

Oh are you Canadian? I'm also Canadian and I can confirm that you Do Not mess with Canada geese.

Make that ANY geese. Although I find most birds to be weirdly aggressive, the geese really have it out for you. I'm glad Stardew Valley does not have geese, because I would feel very conflicted about keeping them. I'm already boycotting sheep on my new save because they drive me nuts IRL.

You know, I see lots of geese at different times of the year because those suckers migrate through the state I live in... but I couldn't be bothered to care about how angry they are. When I see them they're migrating, but I'm in my territory and both they and I know it. :wink:
