Animals in FarmVille

The basic groups of animals in Farmville are Livestock and Lost Animals. You can acquire Livestock at the Market for coins or Farmville cash while Lost Animals will show up on your farm from time to time.  One wonderful thing about animal crops is that they do not rot like plant ones.  When an animal is ready to be harvested, it will patiently wait for you to log in again and harvest it.  They’re a undemanding, effortless to handle way of getting money and enjoying some variety on your farm.

Livestock

The livestock you can now obtain at the Market are rather limited.  Currently there are dairy cows, pigs, and white (regular) sheep. Pigs, dairy cows and the regular white sheep are the only animals which can be acquired at the Market.  From time to time new animals come out for a certain time. Green cows now calledAlien Cow (formerly titled as BOV1NE-09) appeared in the Market for 2400 coins.  “Milktonium,” a crop which can be harvested from green cows can be sold for 18 coins. American Thanksgiving led to the introduction of the “Baby Turkey”- when harvested for the first time, it will convert into adult Turkey.  The feathers which can be harvested once every 2 days from grown Turkey can be sold at 80 coins per harvest.  You can get additional interesting livestock as free gifts from your friends, although the old standbys are offered there too.

You will notice that the animals do not have the same harvest times.  You can harvest several animals every day whilst other animals call for two, three or as many as 4 days.

Lost Animals

You need to keep an eye on your friends’ status updates in order to see if they have found any “lost animals”.  These lost animals will sometimes appear on your farm and request your help.  For instance, to commemorate American Thanksgiving, the creators of Farmville introduced a new “lost animal”– the Wild Turkey.

The following caption will be shown upon the appearance of the Wild Turkey on your farm:

(Your name) discovered this frightened bird in Farmville. This time of year is tough for her and her kind. Hopefully she can find comfort and safety on a friendly farm. ..

The other “lost animals” in Farmville are:

*Ugly Duckling (which can be transformed into a swan)

*Brown Cow (makes chocolate milk)

*Pink Cow (produces strawberry milk )

*Black Cat (makes yarn )

*Turtle (makes eggs)

*Black Sheep (makes chocolate wool )

*Regular cows may show up on your farm as a lost animal. They are obtainable through the Market and can be sent as a free item by your neighbors too.

You are not allowed to adopt these lost animals.  You can only help them by putting them up for adoption.  If you have more than one Facebook account, this is the ideal moment to use it!

Log out and then place your the lost animal up for adoption.  Log in on your other account and quickly get the animal before someone else does!  So remember what I said before, frequently look at your friends’ status updates so that you can adopt their lost animals.

If you’re collecting a large number of cows and/or chickens, consider buying a Dairy Barn or a Chicken Coop.

Each building stores 20 cows or chickens and offers a convenient means to store them, and harvesting them all at once.

You can obtain a Mystery Egg when you purchase a Chicken Coop.  Go to Farmville Buildings to know more.
