It doesn’t matter if you like chickens or not. If you are playing the game Farmville, you most certainly need to get yourself a chicken coop. There will be advantages for you, for your friends, and it ultimately makes the game a lot of fun. If you are going to take up precious space with this building, here are some ways to get the most from your chickens.
How do the chickens work? There are four types of chickens to be found on the game. They are white, brown, black and gold. Each of these colors can lay eggs of their respective shades. Of these the most coveted is the golden egg. In a golden egg you might find houses that are worth over a hundred thousand coin, as well as other things needed for your farm. In order to get eggs that contain prizes, you need to have your chickens in a coop. You want to encourage your friends to all get coops as well as this increases everyones chances of finding great things.
How does the chicken coop work? The coop itself is not very expensive and can be purchased on the market for coin. You are only allowed one. When you first get it, it has a capacity of just 20. This can be expanded to a full size of 60 with a couple of barn raisings.
To raise a barn, you simply choose to have a barn raising from your storage control panel and this will provide a notification on your Facebook feed. You will need the help of 10 friends to click on the help button in order to expand your coop to 40, then again to 60.
Once you get a coop, you can drag and drop your chickens into it. You can also click on the coop to look inside. White chickens are considered level one, and their daily egg harvest is 8 coins. This means if you have all white chickens in your coop, you will get 8 coins a day from each of them. Brown chickens are worth 16, black are worth 32, and gold are worth 64. From a coin collecting perspective, you can easily see the clear advantage to accumulating all gold chickens in your coop. You can buy gold chickens for Farmville cash, but a better way is to keep your eyes on the feed and look for eggs to hatch. You can hatch a gold chicken from a black egg, so don’t disregard eggs that are not gold.
You can remove chickens and replace them at any time. This means you do have the ability once the coop is full to trade out your white, brown, and black chicks for gold ones as they appear.
When first putting chickens in your coop, the cycle of when the coop is ready to be harvested is determined by the first chicken that goes in. So for instance, lets say you have a loose chicken who is 99 percent ready before harvesting. If you put that chicken in the coop first followed by what ever other chickens you have, the entire coop will be at 99 percent and you may get to do an entire harvest with in minutes. After that they will be ready every 24 hours.
As you collect eggs from your chicks, you will get credits that go toward one of the ribbons. These can take some time to accumulate, so the sooner you can get your coop up and running the better.
When your friends visit your farm to fertilize, they may also be given an option to feed your chickens. When they do this, sometimes your chickens will lay some colored eggs for them to distribute on their Facebook feed. You can then claim one of these eggs yourself.
When you find a colored egg, you will not be able to keep it. You will get credit for the ribbon, and have the option to share the egg with the rest of your friends.
Be sure to get your own coop as soon as possible, and expand it to full capacity. Work to get as many gold chickens in it as you can. And don’t forget to harvest it daily to get your coin and work toward the egg-cellent discovery ribbons. Your friends will enjoy coming to your farm to fertilize regularly when they know their odds are great of getting that golden egg.
