Is there a way to gently put down the chickens? Or is tossing them okay? I feel like i will increase the stress if i toss 'em down

I don't really know accurately if the chicken's(or your) stress will increase if you toss them on the ground... So I think it's okay with tossing them. Or just stand... Can't remember D:
If it increases your stress... Then eat some food

If it increases your chicken's... then I don't know.

Just toss them. I think both you and her will be okay.
Sorry for the lack of specifics. I don't remember this game's system anymore.

no no thats fine! it doesn't seem to increase the chickens stress... it just seems like it would hurt the chicken

Yes, the stress level will go down. You need to pick it up, talk to it, feed it, and let it outside regularly though. You don't need to feed the chicken inside if you are going to let it outside. Chickens can go outside as long as its not raining, storming, or snowing. (If you have dogs, they will bring other livestock outside on snowy days but the cats will not bring chickens outside.)

wowie that helped!!! thanks so much... and now another question ( i am just full of 'em)

when does enrique start carrying pets?

He'll have cats when you have at least 4 chickens. He'll have dogs when you have at least 4 cows and/or sheep. Pets are handy but expensive to keep. 1 can of pet food is 150G and I believe that has 3 or 5 bites (someone correct me if I'm wrong...). I've got all 10 pets and its a lot of food everyday to feed them. But I'm super rich, so it doesn't really matter.

at first, certain kinds of dogs and cats are available to buy too, but after i believe your 3rd or 2nd year, more types of pets are available, like different colors and such.

also, you have to let them out every day that you can, even just one day of staying indoors ups their stress level, only by a little bit tho

then, r pets even worth it? i mean, wow expensive

much, and ya.... so then i suppose the upcoming bazaar should start to carry cats, because as of last saturday (in gb) i got a total of five chickens

personally though, this is a bit off-topic, but i find it HILARIOUS how you throw chickens. when i first threw one, i wasn't concerned about its safety (tho i probly should have..oops), instead i kept throwin it cuz i was laughing lol
yeah im a little messed up ^-^

maybe i am just over concerned with the safety of the animals... but anyway, bringing in the sheep i just got is a pain. sometimes it will go right into the barn, and other times it will run right back to the grass... what in the world? does this have to do with heart level or something?

pshycho · Post Posted: Apr 23, 2011 4:21 pm

i got irritated by the same thing. they wont go in/ stay in the barn if you try to return them before 5 o'clock

but i guess is ok. How do you train the cats to bring in more chickens? I bought the bell but....

You can check out the Fogu guide for more precise instructions but you take out the bell and toss it by the cat. The cat should have

above its head. You can let it touch the bell, but you don't have to. Then pick up the bell and put it in your rucksack. The cat should then have a

above its head. Everytime you get a

you can a training point. After the first

you have to repeat the process 3 or 4 (you'll see a

) times in order to get another

. An easy way to train is get a bunch of bell and just toss them into your basket.

Regarding the bouncing chickens... I also died laughing the first time I did that. I think I said something at one time about the town being made of rubber.
