Stardew Valley Silo: This Game-Changing Tip Will Shock You

The game will direct you to build a coop early on, but will neglect to inform you that animals need to be fed daily. Before you build either a coop or a barn, build a silo so you can start harvesting hay rather than paying marnie for it. You need a deluxe coop for the auto feeder. The big coop doesn't have one. Only a fully upgraded barn/coop will automatically use the silo to feed your animals.

I see you got the answer already but just a tip. If your silo is full, and you still have a coop or barn that has not fully been upgraded, you can pull all hay from the hay hopper (in coop or barn) and store that hay in a chest. Then scythe more grass to refill your silo. If your silo ever gets full, completely empty the feeder before cutting the grass. Keep that hay in a chest for emergencies, or during winter. (so for example you'd have 280 in your silos and 500 in a chest somewhere. ) If you, like me, prefer hoarding all that sweet sweet grass in the beginning of the game so you can max out your hay stock early, here's a tip! Once you build and fill your first silo for your coop/barn (whichever you prefer for whichever farm map!) you can pull all the hay out of the hopper and put it in a chest! I've seen a million tips saying build a silo first! You'll need to be able to feed them properly! But i can't seem to build it first. When i go to the carpenter's, coop's the only option. The silo is a type of farm building purchasable from robin at the carpenter's shop. It takes two days to build. When complete, it stores hay from grass cut on the farm.
