OMG?! What just happened! My 5 chickens got sick! and yesterday i checked the animal board and all of them are not stressed. and now they all got sick. As always, i didn't forgot to feed them. They are all inside their fence. The weather yesterday is cloudy and today is sunny and bazaar day. I don't have any sick medicine and store is closed..........
I'm in year 2 now Spring 2........... *Sob*

I don't really know what triggers it sometimes, I had three of my sheep get sick at once for seemingly no reason and I was like « What The Eggplant »...

Anyway, I've been in a similar situation and they will live for 1 or 2 days if you can't get sick medicine for them right away.

i see, so i guess im not the only one who experienced this. Well at least for now i learned my lesson to stock up medicines for emergency purposes.

Thank you so much! i feel better now..

Do you leave your animals out at night? Either way I'd better stock up on some medicine.

nope, my cats and dogs do the work for my 10 chickens and 8 cows/sheep

just assuming they escaped in the night and came back in

You should also make sure that your animals get them in by 9PM game-time. If they don't they can still get sick.

thats my problem too, i have 2 cats that can herd all of my 10 chickens, but sometimes, 1 is left outside/2...

i slept that day @ 5pm

This is just a guess, but maybe 1 or 2 of them got left outside as you said, and then they got sick. Perhaps then it could spread to the other animals? Otherwise I have no idea, sorry. ^_^

Also sometimes I noticed when you have more than 1 (any number but 5 and 10) they will "fight" over the food (well, some will eat and the others will get angry when it vanishes). So let's say you have 3 chickens. They will each get fed on day one, but on day 2 only 2 of them will get fed and the last one will not due to feed being worth 5 meals.

if that the problem you can throw in multiple stacks of food cant you? i think it goes up to 3 times. Not sure but atleast 2!

why do my chickens keep getting sick? i'm pretty sure food is left out everytime, and I do nothing to trigger the increase in stress.

Do you keep them outside overnight? If so, then that's why.

then that's exactly why. You need to let them outside. All animals in this game need to be outside frequently or they get sick. It's something new. Just make sure to bring them back in before 9pm.

wow, that seems really tedious! is there a method that i can use to bring the chickens in and out faster?
