In the Middle Ages, raising animals will play an important role in the livelihood of your village.

With farming and hunting in the Middle Ages, you will have the opportunity to take care of various animals. As your agricultural technology points increase, you will unlock new animal husbandry buildings to add to your village. From these buildings, you can assign workers to collect materials and raise animals for you.

In order to increase your farming skills, you need to farm. Various farm-related activities will increase your total technology points, allowing you to build and craft new things. First, let's take a look at providing food for your future animals.

All your animals (excluding bees) will rely on animal feed as their food source. This can be made using the following materials on the barn workbench.

When you get 100 farm points, the animal feed plan will be unlocked. With enough points, you can buy the plan with 50 coins. If you don’t have enough materials to make your own animal feed, that’s okay. Animal feed can also be purchased from farm suppliers in the town. If you want to improve your craft, you can also buy rye and oats separately to make your own. Straw can be easily collected from around the water source, so you don't have to worry about running out.

Animals need different amounts of feed, depending on their type and age. In general, the bigger the animal, the more food it needs. In addition, small animals consume less food. For example, a chick only needs about three portions of animal feed per year, while an adult hen needs six portions. On the other hand, adult horses need 24 portions of animal feed every year.

Every livestock building will have a trough where food can be placed. As you fill the trough, the percentage will increase, indicating the amount of food in it. To add animal feed, simply interact with the trough with food in your inventory.

From the chicken coop, you can raise chickens that can provide eggs and feathers. Feathers are the key material for making arrows, and eggs are an excellent source of food for you and your villagers. You will not be able to collect these items yourself; designated villagers need to collect these items for you.

You can buy chickens from Ida in Borowo or Irmina in Rolnica. Check the price of chicken below. The barter level refers to the barter skills that can be upgraded in the diplomatic skill tree. This skill will give you better purchase and sales prices.

It takes about two seasons for chicks to mature, and the life span of an adult chicken is about 6.25 years, or 25 seasons.

Similar to chickens, goose will provide you with eggs and feathers. Goose can be purchased from Sobiemir in Gostovia. You can find the prices of goslings and adult geese below.

Young geese need two seasons to mature, and the life span of an adult geese is 12.5 years, or 50 seasons.

From the pigpen, you will be able to raise pigs to collect manure. Although this sounds a bit disgusting, manure is an invaluable fertilizer that can be used to make fertilizer, which can then be added to your crops.

Similar to hens and chicks, you need a villager assigned to the pigpen to collect manure.

Pigs can be purchased from Irmina in Rornika. Below, you can check the price of pigs.

It takes a whole year for piglets to mature, and the life span of an adult pig is 18.75 years, or 75 seasons.

The working method of the apiary is slightly different from other animal husbandry buildings. Instead of buying bees, you just need to build an apiary and they will come. In addition, bees do not need you to feed them. In an apiary, you can assign a worker to collect the hive.

This is all the knowledge about animal husbandry. In general, you need a lot of technological points to unlock these buildings, as well as a lot of building materials. Try to farm as much as possible to increase the number of farming skills.
