All About Chickens in FarmVille

By Robert Green

What FarmVille farm is really complete without a flock of chickens located somewhere on it? Although it is common knowledge amongst the majority of Farmville pros that crops will maximize your XP and coin earnings, putting chickens on your farm lends fun and entertainment to the gaming experience. With the recent introduction of chicken coops in the game, the entire process of raising chickens in Farmville got a lot more complicated, and much more fun!

Here a few fundamentals concerning poultry. This game contains four levels right now, each level corresponding to a different color of chicken: white, brown, black and gold. Everyone close to you knows exactly what to give you if you are a regular FarmVille player: chickens have doubtless been your presents on many occasions. Although it's completely fine to let your chickens be "free range" and run around the farm, you can really maximize your return if you purchase a chicken coop for your farm and place your chickens inside it.

The chicken coop is a simple 5x3 building that you can purchase in FarmVille for 5,000 coins. You can place it anywhere you like on your farm, and you place your chickens inside it. You can mix and match various types of chickens, as the coop can contain as many as twenty. You can enjoy the benefit of harvesting all your chickens simultaneously, with the help of chicken coop. Another major advantage is that chickens in coops each have a chance of laying mystery eggs, which provide special gifts. Finally, if you have a chicken coop, friends can visit your farm and feed your chickens for extra coins and XP. The white, brown, and golden chickens have a harvest time of 1 day, and the black chickens harvest a little faster.

You earn many kinds of prizes from your chickens when you collect their mystery eggs from your coops. Most of the time, you'll get a regular chicken of the same color as the chicken that provided the egg. Occasionally, you may get flamingoes, garden gnomes, fuel or an odd hot tub in the form of surprise gifts. And now that friends can visit your farm and feed your chickens for coins and XP, they also get a chance to find mystery eggs in your coop each time they stop by.

One great trick to know about chicken coops is that the percentage completion of the entire coop is determined by the first chicken you place inside. So by using a simple cheat, you can gain more harvests out of your chickens, when you have extra, ready to harvest chickens outside your coop. Here's how it works: first harvest your coop and then empty it completely. Next, place the 19 chickens you already harvested back inside the coop, and then put one of the chickens from outside that is ready to harvest back inside the coop All 20 chickens can now be harvested again! In order to maximize your chances of receiving Mystery Eggs and even earn your game Zoology Ribbons, you can move chickens in and out of your coop on a regular basis.
