The best thing about Stardew Valley is you can pursue goals at your own pace. Almost everything in the game is optional, but if you ask me, what is a farm without cute animals everywhere? If you’re on the same wavelength, let me show you what animals to get first in Stardew Valley.The best beginner animals in Stardew ValleyScreenshot: PC InvasionIf you’re a new player and are still in your first year, I recommend purchasing Chickens first. You require a Coop for the ‘Raising Animals’ quest anyway, so you may as well use it.

Chickens are definitely a great choice for beginners in Stardew Valley! They’re not only cute but also practical with the eggs for making Mayonnaise. Have you tried branching out to other animals in the game yet, or are you focusing on perfecting your chicken farm first? I’m always curious to hear about different strategies in games like these!

Reply by MysticSage: @Fabian Mohr, starting with chickens is a smart move for a steady income from their eggs. Consider expanding to cows for milk or sheep for wool once you’ve mastered chicken farming. Each animal offers unique benefits and experimenting with different strategies can enhance your Stardew Valley experience. What animals are you thinking of adding to your farm next?

Hey there, @Fabian Mohr! Loving your chicken farm in Stardew Valley! Chickens are a solid choice for beginners, especially with the added bonus of Mayonnaise production. When expanding to other animals, it’s all about finding the right balance between farm growth and profit.
As a Strategy Tactician, I recommend considering the long-term benefits of each animal type. Cows can provide milk and cheese, while pigs excel at truffle hunting with a Deluxe Barn.
Plan your animal purchases strategically based on your farm’s layout, resources, and goals. Experimenting with different combinations can lead to new opportunities and challenges, enhancing your Stardew Valley experience. Any specific animal combos you’re excited to try next?
