How can we get upgrade parts for the chicken coop? I've been doing the errands for quite a few sim days and so far have no received no parts. Am I doing something wrong and is anybody else having as much bad luck with it as I am?

The errand description should mention "an upgrade part for the animal shed" as a reward, only then you will get them.These errands seem to be rare and sometimes you have to do multiple other errands for one sim in order to get the desired errands with that reward.You can also cheat them in in BB by using the cheat bb.showhiddenobjectsor with cheats active shiftclick on the chickencoop there is an option to add upgrade parts or something like that.Just in case the errands get too frustrating ;)

You get the animal upgrade part errands from only the grocery deliverer or the grocery owner. It's called Animal somethingSauce; I have fully upgraded two sheds & a coop

Next time I play I will be sure to try the grocery seller. Thank you so much for your help.

Oh that explains it. I’ve mostly been doing errands from the animal keeper person. Next time I play I will be sure to try the grocery seller. Thank you so much for your help.

NP!

As far as the errand rewards go, it's mostly;

-Animal clothing & berries (Creature Keeper)
- Upgrade parts (Grocery peeps)
- plants, cross-stich ,seeds & fertilizers (Agnes & Agatha)
- Food & Berries (Pub Owner)

I have not been able to do many errands for the mayor (As she never seems to have anything other than the generic "Say hi" or "Get the gossip" quests.), so I have no idea if she has some specific rewards to her.

Just wanted to add that if youre not interested in grinding for the upgrade parts, if you get enough satisfaction points, if you get the instant upgrade perk in the reward store it makes it so you can instantly upgrade any of the animal sheds and coop. there is a cool down between each one. I will say that I did the upgrade and sometimes it bugs out and Im still having to clean and feed my animals so beware of that if you are doing all that hard work to find the upgrade parts.

I got some parts today thanks for all the help. I'm happy earning them through gameplay. I just didn't know what I was doing wrong. :D

Yes, I'm trying to do it the hard way the first time around. Once I've done it, I'm sure I'll use the cheat to get upgrade parts in build mode. I'm still trying to get two bottles of milk for the grocery store owner. I have ageing off for my Sim, but on for all other Sims, and I'm afraid the grocery owner might die before I can fulfil her request.
