All About Chickens on Farmville

Anyone checking a Farmville farm will always expect to see and enjoy a coop or barnyard full of chickens. 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. The whole process of raising chickens in the game got a lot more complicated, and much more fun with the recent introduction of chicken coops to farms in FarmVille!



You need to learn certain rudiments about chickens listed here. The game uses a particular color of chicken for each level, so they can be white, brown, black, or gold. If you've played FarmVille for a while, you've probably received chickens in the past as gifts from friends and neighbors. If you purchase a chicken coop for your farm and place your chickens inside it, although it's completely fine to let your chickens be "free range" and run around the farm, you can really maximize your return in farmvile.



The chicken coop is a simple 5x3 building that you can purchase in FarmVille for 5,000 coins. It is for placing your chickens and you can keep in wherever you want in the farm. 20 poultry birds are kept up, and you can mix different types of chickens. 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. 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.



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. But sometimes, you'll get some strange prizes, such as flamingoes, garden gnomes, fuel, and even a hot tub! Every time that people visit your farm they can feed your chickens for coins and XP; and, they can receive an opportunity to discover mystery eggs.



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. Following is it's method : the first harvest your poultry house, then cleared 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 The entire lot of 20 chickens are ready for harvest now 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.

How to Obtain Crop Mastery in

One of the most challenging parts of FarmVille to really understand is Crop Mastery. Crop Mastery is used for planting the same crop but also leveling up at the same time. Each type of seed in Farmville has three levels of crop mastery, and it is necessary to complete a certain number of successful harvests if you want to achieve these levels. When you are level 10 you have the ability of crop mastery.



The rewards for gaining each level in Crop Mastery are similar to ribbons. You get coins and XP each time you advance a level. After you achieve level 3 of mastery in a particular crop, then each time you plant that crop, there is a small chance that the crop will become a Premium Crop. A Premium Crop appears a little bit larger than normal crops and has provides XP upon harvesting instead of just coins. Each seed gives a various amount of XP and chance of having a premium crop.



Another great reward for reaching level 3 of Crop Mastery in the game is that you get a special Crop Mastery sign, which you can place anywhere on your farm. The sign is a great way to show off to your neighbors that you have become a master of that particular crop.



What crops should you choose to master? Like so many things in Farmville, it really depends on your play style and your overall goals. Your best bet is going to be shooting to achieve crop mastery with those crops that you think you will plant the most. It's best to master crops that give lots of coins and XP, like some of the berry plants. While blackberries are an amazing crop to master later in the game, you need to harvest it many times to get level 3 mastery. You can increase XP more effectively with lush crops like pumpkins and tomatoes, so choose them first for mastery.



Crop mastery makes Farmville a lot more fun and exciting no matter what crop or crops you choose. It takes considerable patience and a lot of planting, but soon you can become a master in a number of different crops.
