• Feeding methods: trough (Hay in Barn / Grass Seed in Coop), hand feeding
• Higher-grade Animal Feed crafted at The Mill
• Animals will eat unharvested crops / grass on the farm if otherwise unfed
• Forageables and crops can be hand fed; after the Currency Of Care III skill, cooked dishes too
• Shiny Beads scale with the dish’s star level
• Full edible-forageable/crop lists on Shiny Bead pages (not cached)
• Auto Feeder for Large Coop/Barn
• IGN maintains an “Animals” wiki page (navigation shell)
• No feeding-specific data in the cached page
• Cooked dishes exist as an item class (relevant because cooked dishes can be hand-fed to animals after the Currency Of Care III skill)
• No direct “feed animals” data here
• TRANSCRIPT CLAIM: The transcript is a gift guide and does NOT cover how to feed animals. Its animal-related mention is the “shiny beads perk”/“golden animal products” gift context for Hayden. No feeding-mechanic data present.
• Feeding = trough (Hay/Grass Seed) or hand feeding; Animal Feed crafted at The Mill; Auto Feeder for large buildings
• Animals are fed via a trough (Hay for Barn, Grass Seed for Coop) or by hand feeding
