No, on 0.2.4 I've built 2 barns then I've bought 2 animals for each barn (so if I forget to feed them they don't die because there is food for 2 days).
Of course in the other barn there is the same bug.
Good to know, may be a hiccup with multiple structures being in place but I sort of doubt it. I’ll look into it and see what I find.
