I have some questions.
1 - How big does the greenhouse get? I currently have the initial greenhouse and am curious how much bigger it will get.
2 - I am working out how I would like to set up my chicken coop and animal barn. I was thinking of having my chicken coop have 9 silkie hens and 3 regular chickens, and my animal barn to have 1 sheep, 2 cows, 3 suffolk sheep, and 6 jersey cows, but I started to wonder if it would be more profitable to have the animal barn with 1 cow, 2 sheep, 3 jersey cows, and 6 suffolk sheep? I guess I am just looking for a decent income of both money and ingredients.
Any opinions or information would be appreciated. Thank You.

1. The greenhouse can be expanded in size one time and it will be double the size of the original. You might want to add room for suns first so you can put in more suns for crops which need more sun points.
2. It depends on whether you plan to have products to cook with. More of the recipes use milk and eggs (or the products from them made in your maker), or shipping the raw products each day. I would agree with the sheep though, Dairy Natto uses Suffolk wool and the yarn gets more money. Remember that Jersey Cows, Suffolk Sheep and Silkie Hens do not give products every day so it may not create as much income as you are expecting.

1 - I currently have one sun holder in my greenhouse and am planning on building another sun box followed by a water spigot as soon as I can, I was curious if I would be better off waiting for the next size upgrade or not.
2 - I am pretty sure I have taken in to account the differing production rates and the special animals still produced more profit. I would keep most of the regular milk and egg items and ship the special ones for profit.

The spigot was the first upgrade I put in. You can put orange wonderfuls in your watering can and multiply the amount of water your can holds. Just remember the nearest water source is the ranch and you will have trees to water when you raise Fruit Island. Unless you have a large enough watering can to hold the red, blue and orange (and possibly yellow and green) you will want the water source on site.
You can get away with 2 suns although 3 is nice if you plan to grow crops which require more sunpoints each day.
Take a look at possible crops and you can decide how much sun you want the plants to have and if you intend to grow all S rank crops.
For the special animals, remember you can have Charlie put all of your orange wonderfuls in the milker or shears and move them back on the same day. If you buy the number of "special animals" you mentioned you can multiply the products you get from the animals or you can buy less special animals and get more products that way.
Don't buy silkie chicks (or only one). Put at least one incubator in the coop (it will hold four) and use the eggs from the first silkie hen. If her heart level is high enough, Mirabelle will give you a silkie egg for your birthday. I fully populated my entire coop by not buying a single chick. Mirabelle gave me the first chick when I built the coop and I incubated the eggs to form the rest of the flock.
