I was wondering why the Gift Wrapping Event allowed players to buy chick vouchers with Hollys. Hay Day has answered with the new Farm Pass which we must buy to get 2 chick vouchers. My sole peacock will be lonely because Hay Day giveth and Hay Day taketh. EDIT on January 2, 2023: The missing chick voucher was a mistake, justhayday.boards.net/post/36690/thread

Cheeky indeed 🤔
Cant say I bought any chick vouchers in gift catalogue
Beyond the 1st 2 peacocks I lost interest, didn't really want toucans or cockatoos 😅
Have 20 vouchers stored in case a bird I do want comes out!

Very sneaky. Hopefully they will be available elsewhere. Luckily I got my second peacock and not too bothered about the third one. I also don’t like the toucans and cockatoos very much. It’s a shame they don’t fly.

No chicken vouchers in the free version are really unfortunate. This time I decided to buy the pass. Not in-game but via SC store. You can get the pass there at a reduced rate. I also like the additional slots and the second spin for WOF and in the valley. Main thing buying the pass this time was the available chicken voucher. Currently I possess 8, only in need for 1 for the next animal. I'm looking forward to it.

That's disappointing for my baby farms, I would have liked the peacocks for them. But it's less stress for me, I won't have to work on their farm passes. Donkeyfan, I never heard of an SC store? Where can I find it?

There are days where it feels like SC is trying hard to make me quit playing HD.
I understand their need to make money. It is obviously also in my personal interest that they do so, because it allows them to keep developing the game. However I don't like to feel forced to spend my hard earned money, I want it to be a choice of my own. It makes me rebellious instead of generous, when they do stuff like this.
I would have been more positive toward this, if they had somehow "warned" about it before the gift game. It is easy to feel a little foolish for having spend so much time and potential money on making gifts to get hollies only to have bought something potentially useless.

here it is:
After accepting the cookies skip to HayDay, and you'll find the current offers.
Update: I just got the word that SC store isn't available worldwide. Sorry for my misunderstanding....

l26I fully understand your sentiments because I'm also very emotional. But on the other side I don't allow some emotions to "control" my behaviour. This applies first and foremost for things I can't change. I admit, I have no success every time when I try to get over it, but I'm working on it. Of course you are right, it's not very "nice" to omit the chicken voucher in the free version after the event. However, it is how it is. Sorry for the word play, but I think it's not worth to let this bother you. Try to come to terms with it, that's really better than to quarrel with it.

People relax, it’s just about pixels. It’s us that decide if we want to spent money on this game yes or no. If SC pulls the plug one day on Hayday (remind it already exists 10 years, which is long for a game) we will only have memories and we won’t get any money back.

I'll be surprised if there aren’t some other ways to get chick vouchers going forward. It would be a shame if supercell changes their free to play model going forward, and I don’t see them doing this as it’s what they are known for.
I suppose it could be argued that peacocks and toucans don’t make the game 'unplayable', but particular machines or even areas (the town for example) also don’t make the game 'unplayable'. I would definitely put animals and feeding in a different category from optional decos, since the whole point of hay day is the build up our farms with crops, machines, and animals that consume our goods.
So I'm banking on still being able to get vouchers, perhaps through some farm pass free levels and maybe also through some new events. Event rewards could certainly use improvement (!) and chick vouchers would be greatly incentivizing rewards.

Well, I purchased chick vouchers with holly and was able to get my 2nd peacock. Didn’t buy any more vouchers, though. I would like to have the 3rd peacock and am very sorry to learn that chick vouchers will no longer be available in the free farm pass. Not interested in the other birds for my farm.
Too bad we can’t put the toucans, etc. in the sanctuary …..

I have 24 chick vouchers in stock. As we get the 2 chick vouchers all at once with this new farm pass this means i get none . Double checked with my baby farm, here i have only 18 chick vouchers and will receive both chick vouchers on the payed road. On my main farm i will get 5 planks instead. For me the chick vouchers are not that important i can deal with this, just check your stock before buying farm pass.

I’ll leave now. No need to leave. There is no right or wrong opinion here. It is always nice when new people join the forums rather passionate but never heated debate. We are all HD fans and rather loud about the things we like or dislike in the game.

There's the possibility a chick voucher will be free on the next Free Pass. But if chick vouchers are available only with a paid Farm Pass starting in 2023, then it's a disturbing trend as Hay Day has erected a pay gate to unlock new content, IMO.ICYMI, there's a thread about Hay Day Monetization and the Farm Pass, the non-renewing subscription. justhayday.boards.net/thread/1435/hay-day-monetization-farming-game

I could see SC changing it up and adding chick voucher's to the valley rewards. That or more events maybe even sometimes on the WoF.

www.reddit.com/r/HayDay/comments/1017jz4/good_news_guys/I asked the Hay Day Redditor for the source of the above screenshot and he or she replied it's from the official Hay Day Discord. Per Chris, the absence of a free chick voucher for the January Farm Pass was a error made by Team Hay Day. They'll correct it by adding 2 chick vouchers in the February Farm Pass' free road. And I've updated my OP.

People go into panic mode when something changes. Jan 1 is a holiday, just needed to wait 24 hours for a response from SC. .

Those services are what I associate with a spa. Not sure about everyone else—it may be different in other countries.

LOL. It has been many months since spam has landed on JHD. I almost forgot how to report spammers. Almost.
EDIT: I made a note to check back into this thread later in the afternoon. Thank you to JHD staff for deleting the spam from the newest member.

I bought all of the chick vouchers I was able to with the hollies, as I couldn’t purchase scrolls and I really can’t feed any more sanctuary animals. I now have 25 chick vouchers because I haven’t bought any birds except the 3 peacocks. Also no interest at all in toucans or cockatoos 😂. Please, please, please let us have geese or swans 🙏

Sorry about the confusion in regards to the Chick Vouchers on the free road. So after the extra one in Feb. we will go back to normal in March.
