Cows, sheep and chickens are fenced. While playing, they don't despawn. After leaving the realm and coming back, a random number of animals will disappear. It's super frustrating as we have bred upwards of 10 and come back to all of them missing multiple times. We are desperately trying to get leather to progress the realm but it's almost impossible when the animals keep disappearing.

This is still an issue!!! Within the past week our brand new Windows 10 Realms server has been experiencing severe animal despawning to the point we have lost all our captured animals (horses, pigs, sheep, chickens, cows, donkeys etc.). Every time we log back into the Realm after being offline random animals will have been lost. We have tried many things to fix this, including naming animals, reducing fence pen size, attaching leads. Nothing has helped. Looking for any type of response on whether this issue will be resolved.
