Picking up produce order

Hi,
I haven't been able to figure this out. When picking up produce/dairy etc. and chaining, is it more points if I can pick up the same item (i.e. eggs) one right after the other? Or does it matter, i.e. pick up one egg basket and go to pick up cow's milk and then back for the other egg basket? If so, does goat's milk count as cow's milk if the milk is suppose to be picked up one right after the other.

Also, does it break the chain if I get lemonade? Does it break the chain if I fill the stove for hay in between feeding the grain and hay bundles?

I couldn't find these answers in the forum so if by chance I missed it, sorry. These eyes are old.

Oh, one last thing, in a few levels there is a circle that will appear near one of the barns and it looks like a phone with a red slash through that. What is that about? I think it may have to do with the kid and the phone but he is not out there with a shaking phone like other levels. When I do click on that red slash, it looks like the kid does run over there. But I am confused. (it is not the "wood" icon)

Thanks for all the help!

He's fixing the electric fence or something along those lines. Ethan being a computer whiz, he can fix such things.

Hi Cinderellaromba. I don't think it matters if you pick up eggs, then cow's milk and then eggs again, as it's the stock which is chaining. However, it's best to do the goat's milk at the beginning or end (or any time) for the levels where it's being made into cheese, as the goat's milk doesn't count for the stock chain.

As far as I can tell, it doesn't make a difference when in the chain you take the produce to the barn. Like someone already said though, just be sure you take the goat milk to the cheese maker before you start picking up your produce. I let the machine churn out the cheese while I am picking up all the other produce.

Also, I do not think that stocking the hay machine, making lemonade, or drinking lemonade breaks the chain. Clicking on wolves and crows DOES break the chain though.

Thank you all for all the help. Every little tip will sure make a difference in the score. Thanks again!
