Chicken Coop Cheat; FarmVille Strategy

As mentioned in my mystery egg post yesterday, your chicken coop can be the most profitable thing on your farm, if you want to put the work in (weird saying that about a video game).

****************************************************************************************
Edit: Just know, you need a friend (or 2 accounts) to make this work. When you get an egg, you do not actually get to keep it - you get to share it with your friends. If you have a network of a few friends that are doing this, you could do it together all at the same time - or alternatively pass around the links in private messages on Facebook rather than publishing them to your wall.

While this might seem like a pain - just remember that 5 or so friend can collect the same mystery egg. If you have a group of 5 friends that are all doing this, you can collect the eggs five times as fast as if you were doing it alone.

Now, if you are completely anti-social and still want 100 golden chickens, the alternative would to use a second Facebook account. You could run your farm as normal on your first account, and on your second account horde chickens and send the links to your first account. As I said in the beginning, it requires a bit of work!
****************************************************************************************

Each golden chicken can produce 1 egg worth 64 coins once a day (23 hours). You can fit 20 chickens in a coop, which fits takes up 15 slots of space on your farm. A coop full of golden chickens will earn you 1280 coins per day, which is a lot more than any crop, or dairy farms, or any other item you can get.

You will need as many white chickens as you can get. Keep the white chickens outside your coop on the ground.

Step 1: Keep a large pool of white chickens outside of your coop and let them get ready to be harvested.

Step 2: Empty out your coop completely.

Step 3: Put one of the white chickens that is already at 100% in the coop.

Step 4: Now put chickens that have already been harvested in your coop. It is best to use the highest color you have (Gold is better than black is better than brown).

Step 5: Harvest your coop. You will be able to harvest all of the chickens in the coop despite the fact that only the original white one you put in was available for harvesting.

Step 6: Repeat this process for as many chickens as you have.


The more white chickens you can collect, the more times you can do this. Even if you only have white chickens, it is still in your best interest to harvest these chickens inside the coop as many times as you can.

If you harvest a full coop, about 1/4 of the time, you will get an egg. The egg is based on how many chickens are in your coop. For example, 20 white chickens will always produce a white egg, while if your coop has 10 white chickens and 10 brown chickens, you will produce white eggs half the time and brown eggs the other half of the time.

With a little luck and a lot of chickens, you can get brown chickens on a daily basis. After awhile, you will be getting black chickens on a daily basis, and ultimately golden

I'd like to see a farm at some point covered in golden chickens.. then I could die happy.

Edit, an e-mail I received:

Hi,
There is this Egg Exchage Group on Facebook that is a great way for egg gatherers to get a lot of eggs in return (5 for each one). Here's the link to the group:
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=205709819470&ref=nf

And here's how it works:

Each egg produced by you can be hatched by five people - so for one egg you should get 5 eggs in return.If you don't have time to look for eggs all day, then this is the right place for you...
HOW TO:1. When your chicken lays an egg you will be asked to share it on your wall - do click on "Share", but DO NOT post it! 2. Just (right-)click on the picture of the egg in the prepared posting, copy the link location and save this link somewhere in a text document. 3. Click on Skip. (You should not post the egg on your wall)4. Post a note in this Group, just saying the color of the egg ("Golden Egg"), not the link itself. The first 5 people (who of course are able to offer an egg in the same color in return!) answering this post with EGG are the five people who will make an EGG-Exchange with you.5. Each of the five farmers has to send you a private message with one working link of an egg. Then you will, in return send a private message with your Egg-link.
That way, you get five eggs for each egg you have yourself. Great deal!!!

So if you are missing out on some golden chickens, check out that group. If you do that regularly a few times you can easily get your coop filled with chickens.
