Harvest Moon DS Animals

Answer 1

You automatically start off with your cat and dog. You can also get a horse, after you have shipped 1000 items in your Shipping Bin, Takakura will stop by in the morning and deliver your horse. You can use that horse as a portable Shipping Bin, and even ride it around the valley. To get Cows, Sheep, Chicken, and Ducks:

To get Cows and Sheep, you have to call Gotz and have him build you an Animal Shed (made of either Fodder, Lumber, Material Stone, or Golden Lumber, do NOT choose Fodder, or else your shed will easily collapse, choose Lumber, cuz its cheaper and doesn't break as easily, but if you have enough money choose Material Stone). Once your shed is built, call Yodel Ranch, and you can buy Cows and Sheep. You can also buy scissors (or shears) and a Milker from Yodel Ranch to milk your cows, and shear your sheep.

Chicken: Call Gotz and have him build you a Chicken Coop (made of either Fodder, Lumber, or Material Stone, or Golden Lumber. DO NOT choose Fodder, it'll collapse choose Lumber or Material Stone) once your Chicken Coop is finished, call Chicken Lil's and you can buy Chickens. They lay eggs that you can ship in your shipping bin.

Ducks: You have to call Gotz to build you a Duck Pond, but you ALSO have to have enough room in your Chicken Coop. 4 birds to a coop, and you can have more than one coop. The Duck Pond is a little bit expensive, but once you have it built, call Chicken Lil's and you can also buy Ducks now. You can leave them outside during the Spring and Summer (and Fall I think too, not sure) but not Winter, leave them in the Chicken Coop during winter. When they're outside in their duck pond, you don't have to feed them, but you can't buy more chickens/ducks cuz they still "count" sorta as being in your chicken coop.

I hope that helped:)
