Animals (Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness)

Unlike the usual Harvest Moon games, you neither start with a dog or with a horse. They have to be obtained through events. The game introduces pet food, which can be stored in the silo in the Pet barn to feed your pets. Whether your pets will die without food is unknown. Just like any other Harvest Moon game though, you are offered the usual main animals for raising.

Accommodation

As per usual, Chickens in the chicken coop. Which you have to build.

Cows and Sheep in the barn. Which you will have to build.

And Pets (Horse, Dog) in the Pet Barn, which you start with.

Menu

The animal tab in your menu will open up once you get any of the 4 categories of animals (chickens, cows, sheep, and pets) Here the Menu displays:

• Animal's mood - Happy, Ill, Angry, etc
• Animal's Affection for you. Maximum 10 hearts.
• Awards won. Gold/Silver/Bronze.
• If they are pregnant.
• Age
• If they have eaten.
• If they have been milked/sheared.
• Meter bar showing how close to getting ill they are. When it is full, they will be ill.

Chickens

Like any other Harvest Moon, chickens are easy animals to raise and don't take much work, make sure to pick your chickens up everyday and feed them and they will get attached to you in no time! Taking them out will also make them happy. You have to feed your chickens chicken feed, which means having to buy it from Maseru's shop for 10g.

Affection Raising

• Pick up and drop. Everyday.
• Play Petting mini-game. When Chicken feels like it.

Different from most other games, sometimes your chicken will have a "hand" icon over their head. Touch them and a short minigame will begin. Your Objective is to rub the chick/chicken until it is satisfied. There is no time limit or bonuses. After the minigame there will be a short 3d Animation of the chick/chicken all happy. This makes the Chickens very happy.

If you want to get the most out of your chickens, you should build a Maker house from Goran, and then get him to construct a mayonnaise maker. Using the Maker, it will instantly turn your eggs into Mayonnaise which will sell for more.

Chicken Coops

Due to the Game's Versatile Building construction, the game will let you create your coop as you desire with any number of feeders/incubators, and also a shipping bin inside.

Coop Size	Starting Feeders	Max Feeders	Max Incubators
Small	2	4	4
Medium	2	8	4
Large	2	12	4

The Perfect Coop

Below is a screenshot of the menu you see when looking at your expansion rate in the game. It uses the same structure on all your buildings to show all the different factors. To build the perfect coop and gain 100% renovation on it, you must have built all the incubators (4) all the feeders (10 - not including starting 2) upgrade from small to medium to large, build a shipping bin, and upgrade feed storage (silo) from small to medium to large.

Below are more screenshots on the actual look of the furnished Coop, complete with weather vane decorated as a rooster.

The total price of this beautiful addition to your farm is... 430,000g!
