This is an unofficial fan guide. Building prices, materials, and animal availability can change with patches; check the current in-game shop before spending.
Fields of Mistria animals need the right housing before you can bring them home. Start at the Carpenter's, then expand through Hayden's ranching progression as your farm grows.
Fields of Mistria animals
Start with a coop or barn
Build a Coop with 75 Wood and 50 Stone, or a Barn with 100 Wood and 75 Stone. Small coop blueprints cost 1,500 Tesserae; small barn blueprints cost 2,000 Tesserae. Check the Carpenter's board in your save before committing materials.
Small coops house chickens and small barns house cows. Ducks, horses, rabbits, and sheep come later through your ranching progression.
How animal access unlocks
Finish Repair the Mill before barns become available to buy. More animals unlock through upgrades to Hayden's Barn at Sweetwater Farm, so keep an eye on your active quests and ranching upgrades rather than waiting for one universal shop unlock.
Fields of Mistria crops and animal planning
Crops are not required to build a barn or coop. Keep crop plots clear of each building, leave a path to every door, and reserve nearby storage for feed and animal products.
Video guide
