The cow and chicken are now fully animated in the game. As you can see the animals hide at night.
The chickens will be at random places on the farm each day or throughout the game world as you get more.
The cows will also be throughout the game world, I think.
I did this because in Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon I never liked the how the animals were set up.... It was a lot of repeating the same thing each day.
With this automatic set up I can focus on other things in the game that are more fun. Plus this game is expected that you played or beaten Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley anyways... So automatic animal set up is expected.
