CattleCattle are ruminants that live in herds and value routine. A dry, well-ventilated shelter, a forage-based balanced diet and constant access to clean water are the foundations of good cattle care.Explore
SheepSheep are calm but easily frightened animals that depend strongly on their flock. Good pasture or quality hay, secure fencing, protection from predators and regular shearing are the cornerstones of sheep care.Explore
GoatGoats are curious, intelligent and extremely agile. They prefer browsing leaves and twigs to grazing, dislike rain and are masters of escape. Sturdy fencing, a dry shelter and a companion are essential for goat care.Explore
ChickenChickens are social, curious birds of habit. A predator-proof coop, perches and nest boxes, balanced feed, clean water and a place to dust-bathe are the foundations of happy, productive hens.Explore
DuckDucks are cheerful, hardy birds strongly tied to water. Clean water deep enough to dunk their heads, a dry and secure shelter and feed suited to waterfowl are the basics of duck care.Explore
HorseHorses evolved to spend most of the day grazing; they live in herds and need to move. Constant forage, plenty of water, room to move, companionship and regular farrier care are the basis of good horse care.ExploreAll farm animals

QuailQuail are small, quiet birds that need little space. High-protein feed, a place to dust-bathe and a low or soft cage roof — because they flush straight up when startled — are the key points of their care.
Honey beeHoney bees live in highly organised colonies of thousands. Beekeeping takes knowledge, patience and careful seasonal planning. Taking a beekeeping course and getting support from an experienced beekeeper before you start is the right first step.
DonkeyDonkeys come from dry regions and are hardy, intelligent and deeply attached to their companions. Although they look like horses, their needs differ: a fibrous, low-energy diet, shelter from rain and always a donkey companion.
Water buffaloWater buffalo are strong, docile ruminants that love to cool off in water and mud. Known in Türkiye for their milk and the clotted cream made from it, their biggest care requirement is somewhere to wallow.All animals in this section
