Farmville Tips and Hints ? Cow Barn and Chicken Coop Profits

This article will discuss the profits of the cow barn and chicken coop in the Facebook application, Farmville. Also this article will discuss the mystery egg and how to acquire lots of them.

Cow Barn Profits

As I’m sure you’re aware, a new feature was added to Farmville. This feature is the  Cow Barn. Not only that but we have been promised that this is the first of several buildings of this type. Essentially, it is a 5×6 square building that allows you to keep up to 20 cows inside at any one time.

Once installed, it acts like a giant animal. You’re given a progress indicator and can harvest it once it reaches 100%. At that point you get money as if you had harvested each one individually. So don’t worry about mixing brown and pick cows along with the normal white cows. You’ll get the amount you’re supposed to. But the question is, are these buildings worth it?

Well, as I said, it is a 5×6 square building. This means that it occupies an amount of space that is just under 2 plots (32 spaces) Below is a break down of how much you would earn if the barn was filled only  with a certain kind of cow. Obviously mixing and matching is possible, but that will only result in you earning money somewhere between the numbers I have listed.

Type       Single Harvest      Weekly Lot Harvest

White               6                               448

Brown             12                              896

Pink                 18                            1344

Green              18                            1344

Weekly Lot Harvest Calculation

Weekly Lot Harvest = ((Single Harvest*20)/30)*16*7

But, how good is that really? Well for comparison the weekly lot profit for a chicken is 1008 and the weekly lot profit for a pig is 1568. Conversely, the lot profit for Peas is 1231. So, if you’re lucky enough to be able to fill your barn with pink cows, it’s a reasonable replacement for crops. However, you would still be better off simply having a whole bunch of animals which are not cows. So, in general I would say the cow barn isn’t really worth it. It does make cows more worthwhile to have, but not so much as to be worth giving up land that could be put to better use. At best it’s a neat cosmetic item that will earn you some extra money on the side.The reason for this is that the cows still end up taking up more space then the other animals. Afterall, you could stick 30 chickens into 30 squares whereas we’re only sticking 20 cows into a space of 30 squares. As a result profit values for cows simply can’t compete with those of smaller animals. Hopefully, the newer buildings will prove to be more useful.

Chicken Coop Profits

The chicken coop was just recently added. Like the cow barn this building allows you to store up to 20 chickens inside. The coop it’s self is 3×5 meaning it takes up only 15 squares. As a result the coop increases how much money you make from chickens. Unfortunately, since it’s been introduced chickens can no longer be purchased. So, you’ll have to get them from gifts or eggs.Also, unlike the cow barn you are only allowed to have 1 coop.

The adjusted values for the various chickens are as follows:

Chicken        Type Single Harvest       Weekly Lot Harvest           Mystery Egg Type

White                            8                                 896                              Premium White

Brown                          16                               1792                           Uncommon Brown

Black                             32                              3584                                 Rare Black

Golden                           64                             7168                           Treasured Golden

Not surprisingly while the coop does improve your lot profit approximately 392 coins per week, the main feature the coop provides is mystery eggs. It seems that the more chickens you have inside the higher your chances are of producing one of these. Additionally, as indicated above what types of chickens you have affects what types of eggs can be produced.

What are mystery eggs?

Mystery eggs in Farmville are basically the same as finding a lost animal. When you get a mystery egg it will ask you if you would like to share this egg with your friends. This produces a post that looks like the following.

Below is a listing of what each egg is known to produce.

How to get Lots of Mystery Eggs

It’s been recently brought to my attention a few stategies for getting these things to show up.

Lots of Filtered Friends: To begin with, obviously the more friends you have the better your odds are. However, keep in mind that with the recent changes to facebook you can now filter by app. This means that once you’re looking at the live feed (which shows everything) you can filter out everything that isn’t farmville related. This means you can more quickly scan though everyone to see who has eggs. Incidentally this is a great way to pick up lots of adopted animals as well. Sell Your Chicken Coop: This may seem counter intuitive, but here’s the deal. Every time you get a brand new chicken coop you automatically generate a white chicken egg. So before yo accept that chicken coop that was gifted to you, empty and sell your current coop. When combined with multi-accounting you can easily snipe your own eggs, in fact you c even  gift chicken coops to your self.  Not only that but the coop sells for 250 coins, making it one of the more profitable things you can sell. Coops can harvest 0% chickens: I’ve discovered that it’s possible to load up your coop when it’s at 100%. This means that if you got some new chickens to add to your coop you can stick them inside and then immediately harvest them. This not only gets you instant cash, but your chances of producing an egg are based on the type and quantity of chickens you have.

So, in general you’ll want to harvest your coop, then empty it, then place a new coops, while sniping your own eggs.
