They won't. Storm barn storage is just storage. Like the bank they won't age, or breed, or get sick etc.

regarding POF, will we get more animals? id love to breed gemstone/metal dragons, maybe it could be a reason to get 120 farming.

Potentially. More animals are not part of this update though. It was designed so that adding more animals in future is comparatively easy though.

Would adding new animals really be easy? You'd have to add more drops to certain loot tables, and have new things like potions or cooking recipes that use the animal parts. It seems like it'd be more complicated than "bam, now you can raise rats!"

Note I used the term "relatively easy" ;)

From a pure input PoV it's not too tough. The code is designed to be relatively easy for a dev to plug into. The balancing and reward space, that's trickier, but not impossibly so. It's a good place for when adding new recipes into the game creating value for them. For example the cheesecake quest coming out will offer new uses for the flavoured cow milk only available on the farm.

It's not a snap of the fingers, but in the grand scheme of the game it's pretty straightforward to add a new animal now.
