What FarmVille farm is really complete without a flock of chickens located somewhere on it? While most FarmVille pros know that you should focus on crops to maximize your XP and coin earning, having chickens on your farm adds some fun and entertainment to the game. With the recent introduction of chicken coops to farms in FarmVille, the whole process of raising chickens in the game got a lot more complicated, and much more fun!
The golden chicken in FarmVille
Here are some basics behind the chickens. 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. 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 5×3 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. 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. 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 in 0.9 days.
The rewards you can get from harvesting mystery eggs from your chickens via coops are varied. Most of the time, you’ll get a regular chicken of the same color as the chicken that provided the egg. 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.
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 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. Here’s how it works: first harvest your coop and then empty it completely. Next, place one of the chickens from outside that is ready to harvest inside the coop, and then put 19 of the chickens you already harvested back inside. All 20 chickens can now be harvested again! Although it can be a little monotonous and tiresome to constantly move chickens in and out of your coop, this is a great technique to maximize your chances of getting mystery eggs or even to earn your Zoology ribbons in the game.
