Optimise Building Layout
Sketch a simple map of your ranch before placing structures. Compare how rotating buildings changes walk‑paths and space efficiency, then apply the most compact arrangement in‑game.
- Experiment with building placement early to discover efficient layouts.

- Take note of each chook’s bio to appreciate their individuality.
