Raising 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!

You need to learn certain rudiments about chickens listed here. There are currently four different colors/levels of chickens in the game: the regular white chicken, brown chickens, black chickens, and the golden chicken. If you've played FarmVille for a while, you've probably received chickens in the past as gifts from friends and neighbors. To increase your returns, you could place the chickens inside a coop that you purchase though it is absolutely OK to let them run around the farm.

The chicken coop is a classic 5x3 building which costs 5,000 coins in Farmville. You can place it anywhere you like on your farm, and you place your chickens inside it. The chicken coop will hold up to 20 chickens, and you can mix the different kinds of chickens. The primary advantage to using a chicken coop is that you can harvest all of your chickens at once. You may even reap the benefit of special gifts in the event of the chickens in coops laying mystery eggs. Your chicken coop enables you to entertain your friends to feed your chickens in your farm for extra coins and XP The black chickens harvest sooner when compared to the 1-day harvest time of the rest of the chickens.

It is possible to achieve varying results when harvesting mystery eggs from your chickens via coops. Most of the time, you'll get a regular chicken of the same color as the chicken that provided the egg in farmile. But sometimes, you'll get some strange prizes, such as flamingoes, garden gnomes, fuel, and even a hot tub! 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.

A good thing to remember about chicken coops is that the initial chicken put inside determines the percentage completion. So if you have extra chickens outside your coop that are ready to harvest, you can use a simple cheat to get additional harvests out of your chickens. Following is it's method : the first harvest your poultry house, then cleared completely. Pick up a chicken that is about to harvest inside your coop followed by the 19 chickens already harvested. You may harvest all 20 chickens again! One of the strategies in farmville, is to rotate the chickens in and out of the coops, in order to increase the chances of receiving zoology ribbons, or mystery eggs. - 29943
