FarmVille: Zynga is Removing Excess Chickens and Ending Multiple Coops!!!

Posted on February 9, 2010 10:49 pm by FarmVille Freak FarmGoddess

Zynga will be removing all excess Chickens and Chicken Coops attained through various past glitches or in-game errors!

They claim that having multiple Chicken Coops and thus the ability to yield multiple Mystery Eggs violates their policy because it not only hurts the stability of the game, it also disrupts the “FarmVille economy”. Farmers in violation of the One Chicken Coop rule will be given the chance to salvage which Chickens they want as Zynga is moving excess Chickens to your FarmVille Gift Box.

Over the next few days they will be addressing this issue and afterward any user who obtains multiple coops via hacks or cheats may face consequences. Users are already reporting the deletion of multiple coops.

They are also encouraging other narcs players to report their fellow FarmVille neighbors who violate the multiple chicken coop rule.

FarmVille Freak The Grand Thistle's "Chickin' Trickin' R.I.P"

The official word from Zynga spokeswoman Lexilicious:

“Hey Farmers,

When the Chicken Coop feature was initially released, it was not intended for users to be able to have more than one chicken coop per farm.

Due to various glitches and bugs in the past few weeks, certain users were able to place multiple chicken coops on their farms, which is a violation of FarmVille policy.

In order to rectify this situation, the FarmVille team has removed all excess Chicken Coops. This means that all users who are in possession of more than one Chicken Coop will be affected by this release.

To ensure our players are not overly inconvenienced by this change, all chickens that are in excess coops will be placed in your Gift Box. If you have more than 30 Chickens in multiple coops, your gift box will expand to accommodate all of them. This should ensure that you do not lose any chickens that are housed in excess coops.

In addition to this, we will leave the most valuable Chicken Coop on your farm. For example: if you are in possession of two chicken coops, one will be removed. If one Coop has 20 chickens and the other Coop has 3, we will leave the coop with 20 chickens on your farm.

This update will be completed in stages over the next few days, as it is a fairly complicated fix. This means that certain users will lose their additional coops before others.

We understand that many of our players enjoy having multiple Chicken Coops, however allowing this is something that threatens the stability of FarmVille. Having multiple coops increases the chances of producing Mystery Eggs. Having too many Mystery Eggs present in the FarmVille economy can unbalance the game. To ensure the health and longevity of FarmVille, we must limit the number of Chicken Coops to one per user.

After this release, being in possession of multiple Chicken Coops may result in consequences, as additional coops can only be obtained via cheating or hacking. If you would like to report a user for having multiple coops, please feel free to contact Zynga Customer Support.”

We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion these glitches may have caused you and we would like to thank you for your patience and understanding while we continue to work through the Beta process.”

    I honestly do believe this is fair. They’re bein quite nice to move excess chickens to the gift box, and to leave the coop that has the most chickens. :)

  2. Bleshy Says:

    I sure hope they didn’t fix the exploit of “rotating chickens” to get multiple mystery eggs!

  3. luke Says:

    oh noes not cool :O :( plus i find it funny they had to add an option allowing you to buy 310 FarmCash for $50.00 USD just so you can afford the unwither ring.

  4. gogogoff Says:

    Good step, then about 2-3 weeks from now, they will allow us to have 5, and buy more with F$

  5. Monika Says:

    This is good!

  6. Ian Says:

    Most excellent … very nice to those who cheated as well, letting them keep all of their chickens … Cheers!

  7. victoria Says:

    THIS IS SO NOT FAIR IM SOOOOOOOOOOO PISSEDD……..I HATE ALL OF THOSE PPL WHO COMPLAINED ABOUT PPL HAVING MULTIPLE CHICKEN COOPS…..I WILL MISS ALL OF MY 4 COOPS………………………………..AGAIN! SOOOO ANGRY……

  8. FarmvilleAddict Says:

    I hope at least they would have the expand option for the coups, i have multiple coups (4 of them) and just because I have about 200 chickens, and since they were so valuable before I didn’t want to sell them all or occupy my farm.
    I think it is good though because now maybe the gold chickens can yield something cool again!!!! because small pond and flag were not at all “treasured”
    Btw, I have noticed when more people feed my chicken i get no mystery eggs, but when they are unfed I get mystery eggs, what is up with that? have anyone else noticed that?

    And i heard people saying there are new prizes in the eggs? Any info on that?

  9. V Says:

    @ FarmvilleAddict: I hatched a pink cottage from a gold mystery egg tonight

    I’m angry they are taking away my 2nd chicken coop. That is so dumb. It’s not causing me or my friends any glitches or problems :(

  10. yola Says:

    Wow is all I can say. This must be something like the mortgage crisis in the US, too many chicken coops unbalancing the economy of farmville… hahaha,

  11. Eric M Says:

    Great. They’ve needed to do this forever. I don’t like it at all that the playing field hasn’t been level for quite some time when it comes to chickens. I don’t like it at all people having more than around 5, the people with 10+ seem to be on the cheating side of things. I’ve had to sell 100s and 100s of chickens because I don’t have room nor do I want to harvest 100s of chickens a day one by one. As far as the mystery eggs go, unless the new gifts are much better than the last batch, I don’t really even care about them anymore. I only want the gold gnome because it sells for 1,000 but really I have enough coins as is. They are being very kind with the way they are doing this, letting the cheaters get off scott free. It’s good to see Zynga doing some productive for once…

  12. Eric M Says:

    btw, what is the point of signing up with freak if it makes you have to wait for each message to be approved before you post anything. I just signed out of that stupid mess and now I’m posting fine again. I’m not getting the point of signing up if it just makes things more difficult…

  13. ChickenCooper Says:

    Lame. If a person was smart enough to figure the glitches out, or took the time to research info on how to use the glitches to their advantage, Zynga should just let them keep their extra coops. As for the “FarmVille economy,” people with extra coops haven’t been getting extra eggs lately, and the prizes have been pretty stupid.

  14. shawna Says:

    I would like to say that many of us did not get our coops by cheating or using a bug, when the mystery eggs started I had an empty gift box and had planted a three day crop. I had about 2 dozen chickens, and so I was just clicking on the mystery eggs, and about a day and a half later I went onto my farm and I had 10 coops. I didn’t know that you need to buy a coop meant that I was being given one!!! and at the time, I didn’t pay attention to the fact that they had a limit of one coop. I know that this is how many people got 2 or 3 or 5 coops. We are not cheaters or hackers. at least we are not loosing our chickens. and just for the information, out ofte ten coops, I get one mystery egg a day. One. when I had one coop I got one a day, because I had it full of gold eggs. I guess maybe the people who have 30 coops full of gold chickens produce more, but how many of them can there be??

  15. Shae Says:

    not sure about all of the eggs but i just got 1/5 fuel out of a white egg :)

  16. jose Says:

    I got this from the golden egg ..

  17. Tony Says:

    Extra coops hurts Zynga’s economy not FarmVille’s, lol.

  18. Tony Says:

    I have a neighbour that just reported getting a pink cottage from a gold :)

  19. FarmvilleAddict Says:

    It was not cheating, they made the glitch, i didn’t read of techniques doing it, it was in my gift box, and i placed them, i never check the zynga forum and i doubt alot of people do to know it was against their rules, i heard it was not allowed only here, so I don’t consider myself being a cheater,
    They have removed my coops now, and i had 80 gold chicks instead they put 40 in my box instead of 60 and gave 14 blacks instead, I don’t really care for that because i was going to sell them all anyway, no points i have chickens if i can’t harvest them all at once,

  20. Annie Says:

    I received 4 extra coops by accident (a fortunate accident as it turned out) when I expanded my storage – that is not cheating! Why do people assume that you are a cheater because you have more than one coop?

  21. ChickenCooper Says:

    “Tony Says:

    :-) I agree!

  22. bruddahmanmatt Says:

    Zuck Fynga.

  23. redsoxnat1 Says:

    I have 7 coops…and still only get one mystery egg every now and then. it wasnt my fault that i got more then one coop. it was in the right spot when i expanded my farm and when i re-did my farm and moved it they just kept comming! its cool that theyre going to let me keep my chickens but without a place to put them its a waist of time. they awards for eggs are going to have to be outrageous for me to start caring again because with this and all the other technical issues its just rediculous.

  24. jinglesassy Says:

    this is not fair i didnt do anything i got a second coop from the glitch they had with the barn raising thing i had sold around 50 coops and i got sick of it so its there fault and somehow my sister has 2 chicken coops in her inventory that crashes her game if placed

  25. Corrinne Says:

    I think this is bull as well. People with multiple coops USED to get you more eggs. Now I get no more than one egg no matter what. And getting multiple eggs could be achieved before with only ONE coop as well but changing around the chickens. I am
    p!$$ed. I only like them because I can store some of my 300 gold chickens. I sold all the other colors because I had too many. It is THEIR fault that every time I completed an expansion that another coop appeared underneath the current one.

    And as someone else said, I would put money on the fact that after they remove all the extras they will offer more than one for FC or some other pain in the arse way. I thought they originally said they wouldn’t take away coops from the newest glitch. They might as well take all those chickens too since there is NO WAY I am harvesting 300 chickens by hand every day.

    Again, you don’t get more than one egg a day anymore (well, it might be possible but I’ve never seen any one do it in the last 2 weeks or so. Not to mention the prizes are crap except for fuel which I haven’t even seen yet). One egg a day can easily be done with only one coop.

    Too many whine asses complaining because they were too stupid to do a quick google search to find out how to do it. And honestly, the only good it does me is gives me extra storage… f’in rats. Stop being a poor sport and ratting out your neighbors. Keep in mind that it does not effect YOU in ANY way. If anything it benefitted you when you could get a bunch of eggs in one day (even though, once again, that could be done with only one coop)

    Sorry so long… I think this is total BS

  26. Shae Says:

    i just got a copper butterfly out of gold egg :) how do i post a pic? i left the page up

  27. Cyberlink Says:

    They put new things in the eggs. Now u get collectables in the eggs.

  28. FarmVille Says:

    How can you be sure this is true? If you didn’t know this website was here then you wouldn’t have a clue about this…. Farmville has not said anything abour it…

  29. Corrinne Says:

    And as others have said as well, I didn’t CHEAT. It was a glitch and when I expanded my storage there were coops underneath my existing one.

  30. Shae Says:

    Copper Butterfly in Gold Egg :)

    Don’t know where to ask this….. anyone else lose most of their neighbors all of a sudden? I had 72 around 10pm and now I only have 44…. what happened?

  32. DC Says:

    FINALLY!!!!!!!! ok… IT wasnt cheating if you did have the multi coops… it was a glitch and of course peope will take advantage of it…
    But… this is excellent…. now the game can be played on a equal playing field.. :D

  33. Sue Says:

    I don’t and never had two coops…but think this is ridiculous and typical of Zynga…..being stingy.

    “Having multiple coops increases the chances of producing Mystery Eggs. Having too many Mystery Eggs present in the FarmVille economy can unbalance the game….”

    Ridiculous.

  34. Sue Says:

    I wish people would quit calling glitches cheating. Are all the glitches that work against us (every single day) cheating, too.

  35. Nobody Says:

    wow! i will end up 620 chickens on my giftbox. will be taking picture on that. 32 coops earn me almost 200,000 gold coins a day, surely it will ruin my economy. hahaha. i hope this fixing from zynga will not caused any technical issues. if i lost even one gold chicken i will be mad at them. hehe

  36. Brook Says:

    I wonder if when they put the excess chickens into your gift box E.G 120 if you gift box will allow you to have 120 gifts inside or not? I hope it does im sick on having to empty it all the time

  37. Tony Says:

    Re: Gifts

    I just found a grain silo in a gold.

  38. Melanie Says:

    I would be PISSED if they would take away my coops. I have 7 chickencoops and that was NO cheet or anything like that. I just moved it because i thought i put a chicken behind it instead of inside, and there was another one stanig under the first one. In the beginning i got 4 mistery eggs a day, Zynga allready fixed that. Now i get one mistery egg each day. So who am i harming? It’s just easier to collect eggs. I don’t have to collect each chicken seperate but i can harvest 20 chickens in one time. The only farmville economy is the FV cash farmers buy.

  39. farmgoddess Says:

    @FarmVille: If you look at the source of the information it is DIRECTLY from Zynga/FarmVille. It is located on the official FarmVille Forums.

  40. Sue Says:

    If all the stuff in the “new” gold eggs can be bought with coins, then it is, once again, rubbish…maybe just more expensive free rubbish.

  41. tristan Says:

    I think they should try to fix the BAD glitches first, i.e.: I cannot get any “claim it” rewards from friends like an Eiffel tower, fountain, love ewe, etc. it just directs me straight to my farm. and my feed is hours old, when i know new things have been posted, and when they enhanced farmville tonight and made me refresh, i lost all the crops i plowed, and seeded. which is about 400, so i had to redo that all over again. FIX THAT BEFORE YOU GREEDILY FIX THE CHICKEN COOP GLITCH YOU SELFISH MORONS.

  42. Sue Says:

    Yeah Tristan!!! I love your post! Totally agree.

  43. Loiri Says:

    I moved my chicken coop and it started dropping coops, and than I couldn’t get rid of them. I just left my coop right where I dropped it. I figured it would be fixed the next day, I ended up with 5 coops. I did not create the glitch and was not trying to exploit it. Zynga has screwed people in the past. I for one will not spend one dime on this game. All those crying would be singing a different tune, if it had happened to them. Automatically you are a cheater, I have no problem deleting this app, I enjoy it, but I can and will delete it.Maybe they should try out, with a few farms and see what the glitches are and fix them, before subjecting us to this kind of crap. My chickens do not produce golden eggs often, and it’s only one, in which I do not get whatever is inside. I really could care less about the chickens. I sell every chicken I get and if Zynga does take my coops, than they can take the chickens as well!

  44. Claudine Says:

    totally agree with melanie and tristan…

  45. Cyberlink Says:

    They made the update now!!

    When I want to click my chicken coop it just say delete. So its going to happen now!!

  46. yeahyeahwhatever Says:

    awesome! think it’s so funny that the glitch was posted everywhere on this site and all of the posts said “thanks! it worked!” now the story is “whaaaa – i had noooo idea i was getting a second coop – it just magically appeared!” i’m sure that’s true in some cases – but i know for a fact it wasn’t true in most. more times than not, those people did exactly what they were told to do to get those extra coops to “magically” appear. if you got them totally by accident – then it should be NO PROBLEM that they’re taking them away – just consider yourself lucky that you got a month’s worth of coins from chickens that you didn’t have to spend all of your time clicking on and quit crying! yes, it wasn’t fair. i have all gold chicks and i get one egg every three or four days – i click on all my other chickens. i’ve sold all but my gold ones because they took up room and weren’t worth it. guess what? i ended up with a second coop and sold it because i knew it was against the rules – i’m lvl 56 and there because i put the time in – NOT because i take advantage of flukes. YES – it does give people an advantage to have more than one coop! they can take care of their lives (i hope everyone who plays this game has one) and still (because it takes such less time and a tad less farm space) harvest the chickens – which yeild coins, and you can use those coins to buy things which give you xp! i have two villas (in storage) gained because i *click* *click* *click* – so quit being babies and get to *click*ing!

  47. James Says:

    What they should to after this is to give up bigger or expandible coops. This would aleviate the mulitiple coop problem.

  48. bruddahmanmatt Says:

    Yeahyeahwhatever’s comment is brought to you by, HATEorade. HATEorade, when you can’t do **** about someone being better than you, hate on them.

  49. Yaniv Sims Says:

    DO THEY REALLY belive someone would report his friend to them ?

    if anyone is doing that he is THE MOST jealous and Envy soul i have ever seen.

  50. highlander Says:

    for sure now the expansion of chicken cops are close..

  51. Anonymous Farmer Says:

    To all those fellow farmer who were pissed by this move of Zynga…I am with you…there is no hack or cheat having multiple coops…it’s a glitch period. I’m gonna review their terms again and see if I can sue them if they remove one of my two coops….damn you Zynga…you stingy ASSHOLES!!!!!!

  52. Wozzle Says:

    What a crock of s**t
    they have already altered the code so the mystery eggs are rare. If they had any brains they would work out a way to stop reloading of coops to get more mystery eggs

  53. The Barnyard Prince Says:

    Zynga:

    Who cares if YOU remove it…anyway chicken coops are so lame after YOU limit the mystery eggs per day..and besides I have all these new items.

  54. I didn't do it!! Says:

    So, glitch created by Zynga programmers is the new word for cheating……I am by no means a hacker. Having extra coops makes no one a cheater, just an aware farmer. I’m an accountant, what is “Farmville Economy”??

    I should call Limbaugh and let them know about the NEW socialist country, “Zynga”.

    LOL……….

  55. Lynn Says:

    Good for them for taking away the extra coops; I have seen farms with 30 and 40 of them!

  56. Vilik Says:

    If people would not be soooo greedy (more than 4 coops I think is realy nonsence, and 2 are just enough for the rotation) it would be fine. But GREED and GREED and GREED and NOW and ALL and MORE will do it again and again :o )

  57. Linda Says:

    I see people saying they are glad that people with multiple coops are getting them removed but I am sure everyone of those people benefited from those multiple coops by getting the eggs….. they are just pissed because they were unable to do it!

  58. ladygoogoo Says:

    you know i hope they dont punish me for having 2. i moved my coop one day and it doubled. i was not trying to cheat!

  59. Maria Says:

    I think it’s funny about the farmville economy. It was their glitch, not mine, I don’t like to be called a cheater or hack as I don’t believe in that at all. It is just a game. It doesn’t matter to me if I keep or lose the 2 extra I have, again, it was their glitch and their mistake, not ours.

  60. Meeelis Says:

    I think this is fair :)

  61. Lucy Says:

    this is so stupid, i mean – i havent cheated to get more than one chicken coop – it was suddenly therer when i expanded my barns. it wasnt my mistake at all!! so now zynga wants to punish me for “cheating” when it was their mistake cause they havent programed their game right? ridiculous – and even more ridiculous that people complained about it, they are jealous, thats all!!!
    “Having too many Mystery Eggs present in the FarmVille economy can unbalance the game. To ensure the health and longevity of FarmVille, we must limit the number of Chicken Coops to one per user.”
    unbalance the game, by that i guess they mean unbalance their profits as it is less likely that people will buy farmcash or coins. honestly i am thinking about quitting the game, i dont want to be called a cheater and neither do my friends (i have a lot). PEOPLE THINK ABOUT ALL THIS…. it sounds a lot like some wierd sect or, like “I didnt do it” posted earlier, some kind of socialist party.

  62. Joanna Says:

    FINALLY! Good move Zynga :) Cheating sucks and is not fair.

  63. Miffed Davis Says:

    My problem with this is that Zynga is making a fortune off just the beta version of this game. The maximum price one pays for the most graphically advanced video game for Playstation, Xbox or Wii is around $60. I’m extremely conservative with buying the FV cash & I’ve given them over $50 already. Many of my friends have spent far more than what I have, well over $100 each, almost twice what one would pay for a completely developed “real” computer or video game. I shudder to think what the teenagers with free use of daddy’s credit card have spent. Fix the glitch by all means just as they have the cloning glitch in Yoville, but leave the coops already in place just as they have the massively expanded rooms on Yoville. Nobody’s really making any “profit” off the extras anyway. Having more than one chicken coop will not “upset the FV ecomomy”, it means that Zynga won’t be able to capitalize as much on future plans to sell coops for FV cash. What a crock of Zynga greed.

  64. Grandpa6 Says:

    So they FINALLY tweaked to the fact that some (read a LOT) of people have more than one coop? And they are going to remove all but one. Well, I admit I have 3 (did have 6 but sold 3 as felt a little guilty). They appeared out of nowhere one day when I was moving stuff around on my farm (guess I was a frustrated decorator in a past life as I have rearranged my farm numerous times lol). Oh well, if they take the extras, they take the extras …. nice they will leave the chickens in your gift box though. It will be interesting to see how far they expand the gift box as one of my friends has 100 coops and they are ALL FULL !!.
    While they are doing that, it would be sure nice if THEY COULD FIX THE BLOODY PROBLEMS that have plagued us in last month or so – like constantly getting “out of sync” messages, particularly when trying to fertilize! Just my bitchin’ for the day folks.

  65. Mike Says:

    10 million users and they expect to be able to find all that have multiple coops? Fire Lexi, shes dumb as rocks.

  66. Claudine Says:

    i “produced” about 10 golden eggs every day with ONE chicken coop. then i got 2 more by moving it (i’m so sorry zynga, i MOVED an item! -sarcasm). and know i get punished because zynga doesn’t care about the 1000 glitches and bugs?! and i never ever got more than 1 golden egg when i harvested my 3 coops… that’s bull****! i gonna delete 2 before they mess up my whole farm…

  67. nick Says:

    farmville u have to stop baning people for this its not their falt its yours u should no if there is a glitch some of my family quit because of this u guys need to let us have more freedom and u should make it so its one click to harvest and plow and plant thats a nother reason everyone quits because no one has time

  68. Claudine Says:

    @ mike: there are 75 million players… even better :-D

  69. Tee Says:

    it really never bothered me either way if people had more than one coop. But I suppose in all fairness its good that they are removing one, esp if it causes glitches. And I just HOPE they make us able to extend the animal buildings soon. Like the stable, dairy and coop…

    Off topic… wonder what the next useful building will be… A pig or sheep barn?!

  70. shirley Says:

    ALL I CAN SAY IS WHEN YALL GONNA LET US GET MORE LEGAL THEN!

  71. MooMooMoo Says:

    This is excellent news.

    I found a family of cheaters who were in the multiple coop, eggs for themselves business. Most of them were not raising any crops and they were grabbing everything off the feed. No gifting, no fertilizing, just stealing for their own benefit. Selfish, not neighborly.

  72. Gloria Says:

    I have two coops and didn’t get the second by cheating!
    When I rearranged my Farm and moved my existing coop the second one was hiding underneath. Not only do I not cheat but I spend money with Zynga on several of their games.So, they make plenty of cash out of me and others like me to pay the programmers to fix the bugs in their games which apparently cause these problems in the first place!
    Incidentally I get one special egg about every four or five days, I don’t really think that would damage Zynga’s economy!
    BTW, ZYNGA, fix the known problems that frustrate so many players first before embarking on the (rather petty) removal of coops!

  73. Ryan Says:

    Wow, what a bunch of haters. It’s entertaining to see all of your comments bleeding jealousy. I have 70 chicken coops. In the past, I used these coops to yield many golden eggs for my many neighbors, and we really had a great time with them. Now, one egg gets produced daily and the rest coins. Being unable to produce multiple eggs daily has already been stripped away making the coops almost useless, (with 70 I do get a substantial amount of gold which ain’t too shabby) so I really don’t see how this is affecting the ‘FarmVille economy’ at all. Treasured golden mystery eggs were a facet of the game that surpassed all in fun and excitement; this is just another step away from that and isn’t that what it’s all about…fun and excitement? Looks like a bunch of pissy, old women complained about something that affected them or the game in no way but to make it better. I dedicated a lot of space on my farm and many, many days worth of hours getting carpel tunnel to make other people happy. It wasn’t just receiving an item that brought joy, but more the act of scrambling to hatch an egg. I made a lot of good friends because of multiple coops and made tons of people enjoy the game more than they ever had before. We will find more ways to (here’s where you haters say ‘cheat’) ENHANCE EVERYONE’S EXPERIENCE. I’m level 70 and have accomplished just about everything. I play this game to make other people have more fun, and that’s what the rest are doing, too. I ask that next time we do find a way to enhance the experience, just sit back and enjoy the ride or step up and spread the fun! p.s. Shame on you haters. Thanks, Ryan mrdubstar@yahoo.com

  74. Christa Says:

    About time if you ask me.

  75. Kalypso2k Says:

    I, and this is just my own PERSONAL opinion, think that all you WHINERS out there that have multiple coops and are pi$$ed about them being removed are being rediculous. You can say all you want that you “didn’t know it was against the rules” but there are a lot of us that will cry bull$hit. If you have ever been to the market, and I’m sure you all have, you would have seen in big red letters, LOCKED, LIMIT 1. Helloooooo…..does that not scream, against the rules? Any moron knows that if it happens, even by accident/glitch/cheating, and you KEEP it, you are, in fact breaking the rules. So quit yer whining and be happy they are letting you keep the dang chickens.

    ridiculous. i didn’t cheat to get my second coup…it just appeared because of a zynga error. fix your error by allowing others to have more coups, not by taking mine. as much as i love collecting from nearly 100 chickens…

  77. serg Says:

    Maybe they are getting rid of all these shifty coded coops on every ones farm because they are planning to do that chicken coop expansion that was posted here. They should at least let you have coops for each type of chicken that is available, like they did with the cows. However they keep adding new cows so who knows.

  78. CJ Says:

    I received my second coop from a gold egg. This is not fair.

  79. siaiz Says:

    So now I’m being called a hacker/cheater for having multiple coops which ,btw, I got due to a farmville glitch?
    Wow, that’s amazing. Wish I was really a hacker so that I can mess up everything on their servers.

    @Yeahyeahwhatever:
    Well, aren’t you quite the jealous one, dissing on everyone who’s got more coops than you. You’re the one who needs to get a life, you have TWO villas for Chrissakes!

  80. Eric M Says:

    Yeah seems like a lot of bitching and moaning from people that have greatly profited from this glitch. I don’t mind the people that got there’s from the expansion glitch and all that, but I have to say that those cases were it was totally innocent have to be somewhat remote. Hell, the reason I found this site in the first place is when they posted the video to show you how to get the second chicken coop. If I remember right, the steps you had to take to get one would seem that it wouldn’t happen very often by accident. Seems you had to have your coop in the upper right hand corner, expand your storage, then move your coop. All in that order, seems that wouldn’t happen over and over again. I’m not going to call a bunch of people on here liars because I really don’t have enough information to call out anyone. I’m just saying it seems like a child has been caught red handed and is trying to say they didn’t do it.

    I understand that it isn’t great to be called a cheater and all that. The post above has a great point though, it says in the market that you can only have one, so the excuse that you didn’t know it was against the rules has to be bogus. One can’t deny the benefits of having more than one coop. I’ve wanted another one myself because Zynga is dragging their feet on the animal building expansions. I would say that currently I sell at least 10-20 golden chicken a day because I don’t have a coop to put them in. So that alone cost me about 1,200 coins or so a day. Times that by the amount of time other’s have had chickens harvesting and you see how the “economy” can be screwed up.

    It seems to be the fad of the month to act like Znyga is some money grubbing asshole that cares nothing about the fans. It’s also been chic to threaten to leave the game over every little issue that we have. I don’t know if it’s the nature of the fans of this game, a sorta obsessive & reclusive bunch of people. To threaten to sue a company over such matter is completely insane. I can’t even get into the many reasons why this is such a stupid thing to say. All I hear in this place is how they need to fix the glitches, how all the bugs are killing the game. What do you think they are doing now? Don’t you remember why the feeding chickens feature locked most of us out of our farm? Don’t you realize how the quality of the mystery eggs has gone downhill since this glitch was, and I don’t balk from this statement, taken advantage of. They are fixing this issue right now and I think they are being fairly pleasant about the entire thing. If you are complaining about losing chicken or coops or whatever you wish to vent on. Consider the advantages you’ve had over regular farmers. The coins that you got that can’t be earned at the level that one with several coops can. The whole economy issue is that each and ever person should play on a level field. If one is earning coins that is impossible for the average player to get, then really the value of the items you pay is less than what the actual price is. I’m saying the “work” you put into earning coins. It’s the same issue with inflation that we deal with in the States. The more currency that is out there the value of it drops. I’m aware that there isn’t a real economy feature made into the game, but I’m just stating the importance of everyone playing the same game. This is a glitch, if you got your coop from a glitch, you’re lucky, they are merely fixing this glitch now. If one has a problem with a developer fixing issues that there game has then you should go play a game that sucks. I recommend Rollercoaster Kingdom or Cafe World. They seem to have all kinds of issues that never get fixes, so one can have a field day with this.

    CAUTION: Reading this entire post may induce intelligent thinking, rageful bloodlust, or uncontrollable head shaking in disagreement. You’ve been warned!!!

  81. Farmkaizer Says:

    This is fair. BUT they really should release another kind of Chicken coops that could NOT make eggs and with no limit. Just so we could harvest more chickens without cliking on each of them. OR make the possible number of chickens in a coop VERY big.
    Or maybe they should do like this:
    Make the number of coops unlimeted, BUT give us ONE rooster with limit of 1. Then we could place the rooster in a coop and only this coop would give eggs. Don’t know ecxactly how it should work, but i’m sure zynga could figure out something :) I’m just tired of harvesting all chickens one by one…..

  82. tiffany Says:

    It is not a cheat when they allow u to buy extra’s with fv cash …

  83. C.T Says:

    wanna harvest my 600+ golden chickens????

    soon deleting 30 coops lol…..zynga is a joke!!!

  84. Karen Says:

    Ha Ha..I SOLD all my excess coops..chickens and all. Might not get to keep the coops but at least I made 650 coin off each one. The only reason I liked the extra coops was because you mostly end up with chickens from their silly eggs..and who has 27 hours a day to click on THOUSANDS of individual ready chickens??? At least with multiple coops you could collect from them efficiently. I will no longer be keeping any chickens I win on the eggs…so lets hope they give away better prizes in the eggs and REDUCE the number of chickens!! I think everyone is chickened out..there is a chicken GLUT in Farmville!!!

  85. Kari Says:

    Hi,

    I am one of the multiple coop owners and I just want to say something to the people who think it is unfair that we have them. Before they changed the ratio of eggs we were getting I was posting a minimum of 20 Eggs per day to the wall. That is 20 eggs at 5 gifts each, so 100 people benefited from those eggs while I didn’t, okay.. I did get coins, but big deal when I already have millions. Yes, I have multiple coops, but it is my friends and neighbors who got the prizes from those, not me.

    Now I had 10 coops and sold 6 of them when they changed how many eggs we were getting and will be selling my extra 3 a little later on today. I am not whining or bitching about losing my coops, rules are rules. I obtained them the same way thousands of other people did. I am not a hacker, if people want to call it cheating, so be it. I only did what the game ALLOWED me to do, whether that was a glitch or not is not up to me to decide. I was able to do it and I did it. Nothing more to it than that.

    But I do not appreciate the name calling going on here. Ridiculous way to behave over a game!

  86. cash is ok Says:

    Eric…you have said alot…and you are spot on. I knew how to get the second and third coops and the glitch did occur on my farm….but if you set the new coop right back on the ghosty one….they meshed back together…problem solved, I lived with one coop and got tons of eggs. Then they removed the reload egg bounty and gave eggs for neighbors chickens. Neighbors have Many coops and it is annoying they were getting 5-10 eggs for no work….but they do ban people who use the cheats from time to time and I decided not to do it. Now if they ever opened it up….I still have two coops in my pending gift box…maybe if it doesnt expire…and if the gift accept feature happens to be working that day.
    I don’t play to level up as fast as possible…its fun.

    I don’t understand why people would sell chickens for 20 little coins…that’s stupid. you can fit 9 chickens on the space it takes for one farm plot….at 64 coins each….what crop out there gives you that return? You don’t like clicking them? Are you the same people who have 700 cherry trees stacked around the outside edge….or the racks of sheep at 45 coins……you bet i have room for chickens…..even a brown one gives 16 coins each day…or sell it once for 20?????? I even have fun with the pink teardrop thing….stripes and shapes by choosing which ones to harvest.
    I am not telling you how to run your farm….i just think the leveluppers are missing a whole lot of the game….spend the time playing instead of shortcut hunting.
    I do love the info here….but people thinking they should sue because zynga says, hey some of them don’t deserve to be banned and we don’t want to punish anyone who got this by accident……..Lets offer this solution to the cheaters as well as the glitchers……the cheaters will feel lucky….and the glitchers have had a few bonus weeks of ease…….
    everybody wins…..
    but……no……you’d rather they access your account history and only offer this solution to those who in no way tried to get extra coops……sure…let them spend countless hours on proving who did it with intent ….banning you…..and listening to you whine that it’s not fair.
    Orrrrr….
    They could just spend their time developing more stuff to tempt me to buy….and making the game more fun for those of us who DIDn’t re-coop and Giving the cheaters the benefit of the doubt as well as the Glitchers…..
    Wow…..
    Paying customers or cheep skate whiners wanting to get it all fast and free…..Lets see….what will they do….such hard choices…..
    Buy the way….for all my friends who I Know cheated…cause i passed them the link……Thank you Zynga for not punishing me by banning all my neighbors and leaveing me with nobody to send silly present blips too…LOL

  87. yeahyeahwhatever Says:

    @Eric M
    that’s exactly what I was trying to say – you just said it much better. be prepared – you’re going to get a lot of responses about how you’re just jealous or a “hater” because people don’t like to listen to logic if it goes against their point of view. it’s super nice zynga is letting everyone keep their chickens and i’m not sure why more people aren’t just happy they had weeks of racking in the coins from their multiple coops without having to spend all the time harvesting each. when this game started, they didn’t even have coops.
    @Siaiz
    what i said was: it does give people an advantage to have more than one coop! they can take care of their lives (i hope everyone who plays this game has one) and still (because it takes such less time and a tad less farm space) harvest the chickens – i didn’t say anyone on here should “get a life”. we’re all on here because we really like this game. hence the name “farmville freak”. i have two villas because that’s a great way to spend my coins (which i put a lot of time into by clicking all those chickens and such) and the villas give you lots of xp.
    my point was, if you have many coops then you don’t have to spend nearly as much time earning those coins which you can use to buy things that give you xp – moving you up in the game much faster than the people who play by the rules.
    and i don’t see how i’m a hater or jealous when (if you read my whole post) you’d know i was one of the few who actually did “happen” upon an extra coop unintentionally – and got rid of it because EVERYONE KNOWS YOU’RE ONLY SUPPOSED TO HAVE ONE COOP!
    it would just be nice if everyone was happy and just thought, “you know, there was once a time farmville didn’t have coops at all! but then they did and we were only supposed to have one but i ended up with a lot of them and it was nice while it lasted – but now it’s back to playing the game the way it was intended – you know, the way it was when i got hooked on this game in the first place.”

  88. John Says:

    That’s ridiculous and retarded whats the problem with people having more than one chicken coop it only makes it easier to harvest your chickens. I sure would want a few more. I’m starting to sell all of my chickens becuase their taking up so much room.

  89. cash is ok Says:

    Oh and one more thing….for lucy and several others who think zynga mentioning economy would make them a sect or communist…..

    Sweetie…..There are some who have 30, 50 or more coops. Now if you realise they have offered you a dandy little egg bonus when you harvest….up to five times what your chickens harvest at…..lets just say you get that on each of say 10 coops…1280coins + 6400 = 7680…for each coop….x 10 = 76,800 now some have 100…that is 768,000per day. You would hit level 70 in about 3 weeks just buying the big ole mansion and deleting it. That is what it means by messes up the economy of the game. Its not a plot against you…
    X-file reruns vs education…..sigh

  90. shirley Says:

    You are all Narc’s who have told of your friends having multiple chic coops …lol jealous in a laughable game! Exactly why I don’t play this waste of time anymore! You think you “win” this game..so dumb! People paying real money to play and try to get ahead of others omg !! Live Life! geez! Have ya’ll ever seen “Gamers” the movie ? Its like that ..the big fat guy sitting there …

  91. Ethnog Says:

    My was removed. I am okay with that but I got the second coop because of the glitch-not because I cheated. I did not even realize I had a second coop until later. Well, I am just glad they took away the coop that did not have the golden eggs and black ages.

  92. Pat Says:

    I’m thrilled that Zynga is doing this. Play fair like the majority of us.

  93. Karen Says:

    Very interesting….first Zynga said no one would be penalized (or called a cheater) with multiple coops due to their glitch! Now, all of a sudden we are cheaters….actually other than harvesting more chickens, we do not benefit from the eggs we might produce (I have 3 coops and once in awhile 1 hatches a mystery egg). Since we are in reality Not competeing with anyone..what is the harm? I have yet to be able to open one of my own eggs!!! Instead of taking them all away, why don’t they allow everyone to have several (not 12 or more) coops unless someone wants to pay for 12 or more coops! Instead they will at some point offer expanding the coop much to all our distress. After all: no one is winning REAL $$$!!

  94. djR Says:

    Why don’t they just allow like 100 chickens in a larger coop and allow it to harvest in 12 hours…then people wouldn’t need extra coops

  95. jjt7 Says:

    I’m glad of this. It’s not fair that some people found a glitch and have 30 coops while others have to play by the rules. It is cheating and that is not fair! I have to harvest all of my 200 chickens by clicking each one, and this levels the playing field a little. Nice of them to let cheaters keep their chickens too. BTW, no you can’t sue Zynga for anything (it’s a game dumbass!) You can’t even sue over items purchased with FV cash… did i mention that it’s a game dumbass!!! Get a damned grip!!!

  96. OsCaR Says:

    Taking away the extra chicken coops was understandable, I knew it was short lived BUT I am not happy at ALL about placing the chicken in the gift box. I has purchased the valentines mystery boxes, 4 in total and Zynga bumped ALL of my gifts even the purchaced ones out. THAT is NOT fair! From this day forward there will no longer be a single cent spent on this game from me. I am waiting for a response from Zynga and i`m sure that they will have some excuse. VERY DISSAPOINTED in whom ever decided that was going to be ok.

  97. Brenda Says:

    GOOD……..I’m so glad they are doing this…..one coop per farmer is quite fair enough for me…

  98. farmmasterc Says:

    when the coop expansions come dont expaned your coop this is how u will be caught and dont let your farm be saved and delete all suspect neighbors

  99. LadyAnn Says:

    Folks, please RE-READ the announcement. No where does it call anyone who currently has multiple coops a cheat. It says “after this release…additional coops can only be obtained via cheating or hacking”.

    In other words, people may have multiple coops and it could be by a glitch, but they are fixing the glitch. After this is all fixed, then the only way will be due to cheating or hacking.

  100. Casey Says:

    I love the responders thinking they got their 2 or more coops by accident or glitch (saying hackers were cheaters). You knew that FV limited your CC to 1 and yet you kept the extra. Stop being so Pius and admit to all here, you knew you did wrong.

    I already am making room for the 20 extra birds on my farm. I am hoping that I do not have to collect eggs from an additional 20 chickens for long and CC expansion is coming sooner than soon!!!

    Yes, I got my 2nd coop using the HACK!

    I like to watch you crazy people freak out about dumb stuff. Besides you are all cheats that is why you come to this site to find out what the heck you can get the fastest. lol I knew someone would say something like you did that is why I came back to see …just that…too funny!! Watching what …you say… is better than the game.

    And furthermore…it was a glitch big deal…its still a boring waste of time to play that game.

    now…Casey that’s it all I needed thanks I’m gone ;)

    i bet any money tht in 5 weeks time u can buy extra coops 4 30FV$ each or something like tht ! i dont even have more than 1 coop and i still think there bell ends !

  104. Nan Says:

    I am glad to see they are doing this. It was unfair to those of us who don’t cheat and use all the hacks. Not sure I would report my neighbors for it, but it wasn’t right.

  105. kw Says:

    Tell u what, when they do take away the extra coops, you watch sooner or later FV will add the option to purchase extra coops..and they wont be cheap..speaking of cheap(NOT), take a look at the unwithering ring…thats uncalled for the amount of FV cash you have to use…get real. who would buy that anyway.. what $50 or so…huh…

  106. Drew Collins Says:

    i see alot of comments saying ppl wernt cheating, just glitched, which i belive. i see alot of comments saying their glad, that this isnt fair, that ppl are cheating because abusing a glitch is cheating. which i agree. so i dont see what the problem is. i have – no wait – had two coops, and now i will only have one. ill deal. its not the end of the world. imm gunna get back to trying to get that Eiffell Tower.

    ~DRU

  107. Farmaniac Says:

    I jumped before they pushed and emptied the second coop and sold it before anything untoward happened.

    Sad though. Now I have to delete 20 black chickens because I can’t be bothered harvesting them all the time :(

  108. Dragonfyre Says:

    Never had more than one coop, and I didn’t try the glitch…I knew that more than one coop was not allowed, and was not willing to risk anything happening for having more than one…I have several chickens outside my coop, and I manually click them all…sure, it’s a pain, but I’m willing to wait for Zynga to allow us to have multiple coops…

    People exploited the glitch by having half a dozen or so coops…that’s unfair to those who actually play by the rules, which state that you can only have one coop…since people had more than one, it’s against the rules, which means it’s cheating.

    Having more than one gives you the chance of getting more Mystery Eggs, and ease harvesting your chickens, but that doesn’t mean that people should have more than one coop if they can glitch the system to have more than one.

    Those who say that the ones who are saying this is fair are those who did not use the glitch, and the one’s who are complaining are mostly those who have more than one–they’re right. Obviously, people get something, and are unwilling to relinquish it. To those who will be losing coops, suck it up, you were not supposed to have those extra coops in the first place, and now you’ll need to click all of your chickens to harvest them…like the rest of us.

  109. Arania Says:

    Yes I had 3 extra coops; 1 for each color chicken. It’s not fair that we can have 5 dairy farms but only 1 chicken coop…It’s not right!

  110. Diane Says:

    Glad I at least got to harvest my chickens one last time before the coops disappeared (deleted 10 minutes later). Don’t have the time to individual chickens, so guess I’ll sell them all and re-collect if they expand the coops in the future.

  111. Karen K. Pitts Says:

    How do I delete my farm? This is stupid. Just because people learned that you could work around the system, what they should do is let you have more chicken coops.

    ive been playing this game for quite some time now, and ive spent a nice amount of money on farmville dollars, especially for ‘they of mystery’ and i also worked my ass off to get my 35 coops and fill them with 700 golden chickens. its not an easy feat to accomplish. if zynga can remove my coops without a care in the world, that means they can do whatever they please, which in turn, doesnt please me. SOOO, my fellow farmers, its been a good run, im sure we all had lots of fun, but thats it for me. after logging in and seeing all my hard work GONE, im done. this company doesnt deserve the money i have been giving to them, as i dont deserve my hard work being deleted. obviously multiple eggs are not the problem, since a single farm cannot produce more than one every 24 hours. (this was fixed WEEKS ago) like i said, ive worked my ass off on this game, farmville is the only reason i have a facebook account. i am level 70 with almost 1 million XP. i wont be using facebook anymore after this post, so if anyone is interesting in buying my account from me, my email is demonmod@gmail.com goodbye everyone and good luck. peace, J

  114. Jay Says:

    forgot to mention, i have 217 FV$ on my account, all of which i bought but will never use now. so try to keep that in mind. also 817032 XP.. so its close to 1 million. later people

  115. Rob Says:

    @Anonymous Farmer – just a question about your pending lawsuit. How much are you going to sue for? 10,000 coins? 20 XP? That should be fun in a courtroom. If your lawyer works on a contingency fee, do they get 3,000 of your coins? Maybe if you win you will also get some punitive damages – maybe a donkey or if you’re really lucky you will be the first to be given a dog. Sue them. That’s rich. Did you sue your parents when they told you the truth about Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny?

  116. Jay Says:

    ALSO i have over 13 million coins. so alltogether i have that and almost one million XP, 217FV$, 100 mystery box items/rare items stored in my pink sheds that were 22FV$ apiece. theres ALOT of money put into this account, no joke. if zynga wants to take multiple coops away, then im done playing and giving them my money. if anyones interested in buying my farmville account, email me at DEMONMOD@GMAIL.COM

  117. Denise Says:

    had multiple chicken coups because of some glitch, didnt even know there were saying only one allowed. – removed them to please makers of game – but think game makers should fix glitches in game rather then complain because people may have benefitted from having one too many dam coups – for instance fix the “saving browser” issue, or fix the “losing gifts” issue or fix the “going directly to farm instead of receiving reward ” issue etc.

  118. Tye Says:

    To all the idiots complaining about mutiple coops…..

    just one question why are u on this webpages isnt this site dedicated to cheats hints glitchs ect…. to the people that say admit it your cheating ok ill admit it if you admint you are jealous and if given the oppertunity you would have gotten them also… I really think instead of focusing on mutiple coops people have gotten they should fix all there known bugs such as i cant get half of my gifts it takes me straight to my farm. i would glady give up ALL coops and not have one at all if they would atleast not screw me out of gifts my friends sent me and yea btw i have a life so i dmn sure aint going to collect each chicken by itself just a little retarted… GOOD JOB ZYNGA you idiots know how to screw up every game you touch…. yea thanks for chaning items in eggs to more chickens thanks dont know what i will do with them as i only have one coop fckin morons!

  119. Leaving the Farm Says:

    This really pisses me off! I got an extra dairy because of the glitch they had too. Am I going to be in trouble for that and get my farm deleted?? I’ve been spending about $40 for both my son and I on FV bucks for our farms. I just blocked the app and I’ve now hidden the posts on facebook. Zynga is so greedy!!! Think about it people if they raised as much money as they did for Haiti just imagine what they are bringing in a year for themselves. They donated OUR money for Haiti, you didn’t see them matching the funds raised did you?

    Now this chicken coop thing. Here’s what it’s all about. The mystery eggs were giving people too much that we could have been shelling out real money for. The “FarmVille Economy” is their pocket. I’ve been wasting too much time and money on this game anyway.

    They don’t have to take things away from me or threaten me I can leave on my own!!! You hear that Zynga? You’re pissing people off! We can live without you game!

  120. letty Says:

    Jay…you should use it because they already got your money…just dont buy any more

  121. Paul Says:

    I had mine taken away (I had 34 coops) and they only left me with 1 coop and 44 gold chickens when I know for a fact that I had about 300.. I think Zynga cares more about us paying real money then anything else.

    I will never pay real money for Farmville!!!

    F#%k you Zynga

    If they had a glitch and we found it then we should get to keep it.

  122. Mad at Zynga Says:

    I for one will go as far as to say I am SICK of Zynga, they flat out lied when they said they wouldn’t take the extra coops away. I did not cheat, I got mine by accident and I have 3, I didn’t take advantage (I got more and deleted them), I don’t get any extra eggs out of them, but it’s nice to have a place to store my chickens. To me it seems like FV has turned into a money racket, just look in the market at the Valentine day themed items, there are 2 that you can buy with coins, the rest take real money. That is just pathetic! I have spent no telling how much money on this game, but no more. The thing is I didn’t mind spending to support something I enjoyed but I don’t enjoy it anymore. I know they need money to keep developing and further the game, but at the same time it’s all about money now. It’s really not that I mind that they are taking the coops away, it’s that they flat out lied, so how can we trust anything they ever tell us again. You would think after the whole screw up with the Spumpkins they’d be very careful not to lose more players, oh well maybe it’s time to find a new game. I think the fairest thing would be to of just let everyone have a limit 5 like the Dairy Farms, at least 3. I know some people are glad about this, but take this into consideration if you had accidentally got more than one and they told you that you could keep it and then they took it away you’d be mad too, especially if you had been giving them money to support their game. Not everyone is a cheater either and I am about sick of hearing that excuse. Just because you weren’t able to get one when they had this glitch doesn’t mean we are all cheaters. Was it fair to the ones that didn’t get one? No it really was not, but hating on the ones that did isn’t nice either. The whole point is that Zynga lied, that is nothing to celebrate about because one day it may be you in the situation and you would want someone to support you instead of saying you got what you deserved.

  123. Jay Says:

    Letty, one of the first times i bought FV$, something happened where it spend them all, PLUS it took what i didnt have, i was actually sitting there with NEGATIVE FV$. believe it or not but they compensated me, and since they did, i gave them the benefit of the doubt, and continued spending my money with them. id rather have negative FV$ than to know ive spent all that time getting coops, collecting chickens, and coming home early to harvest them in vain. this isnt the first time zynga has pissed me off, but this IS the first time they pissed me off enough to quit alltogether. so like i said, any of you who wants to buy this account, im sure im already your friend on facebook, so hit me up and we’ll see if we can make a deal. i am DONE!

    Grrrrrr……I had 31 coops…and I was actually looking forward to hitting LEVEL 70 within a couple weeks…so I could stop being so addicted…this is crappy…sure I did everything I could to maximize the glitch..and so did a very select few of my friends….I hope Zynga realizes that some of their most hardcore players are gonna be pissed….level playing field…my butt- it’s a game….let the die hard players who read forums all the time and pay attention to ALL the internet info take advantage and play hard core..and let the ppl who are happy just doing day to day ladeda tasks go at their own pace as well….

    If they take away my 1857 tanks of fuel…or mess around with anything else…there will be war

  125. Game OVER Says:

    If I get in trouble for having the extra 2 coops after all the money I have invested in this game I will be looking for a lawyer and that is just the truth, I am not even sure how much money I have poured into this game but it would be easy to check b/c I paid with Paypal. I don’t care if they take my coops away, they only yielded 1 egg a day and that goes to neighbors not me. The only thing the coops did for me was give me extra storage for the chickens but I can just sell the extra chickens, I sure am not gonna harvest them all. Like someone else stated the real problem is THEY LIED! Therefor, how can anyone take them seriously when they say they will do this or that in the future? You can’t!

  126. Lisa Says:

    IT IS NOT CHEATING if FV had a glitch that allowed this, I don’t care what you say. Until I came to this site I didn’t know it was against the rules because I never payed attention to the limit. I thought it was part of the game and they were giving away more coops because only one is ridiculous when most people have over a hundred chickens. I did delete my extra coops after seeing it was against the rules. I didn’t want to get in trouble. I do agree it is not fair that some were able to get them and some were not, but calling everyone a cheater is not accurate either. I’m sure there are a lot of people that do not come here or Zynga forums and think this is all part of the game. I didn’t have an extra coop and I am not hating on people that did. The coops do not even benefit the people that own them it benefits their neighbors. I don’t care if they take the extra coops away, but people should not be getting in trouble because of Farmville’s mistake. I hope the people that buy FVC will think twice in the future about giving money to a company that lies to their players. We shouldn’t be fighting with one another about this. To the people that are hating remember this, when FV does something that isn’t fair to you then don’t expect anyone to have your back. The sad thing is most of the people (not all I know) are just mad because they weren’t able to get another chicken coop. While some people did take advantage of the glitch, some people got them by mistake. Farmville blatantly stated they would not take them away and now they are. What else will they lie about? Next time if their lies affect you, I bet the haters will feel different about the whole situation. I’m not trying to make anyone mad, I just wanted to point out that if they will lie about this, what’s next? Just because it doesn’t affect you this time doesn’t mean it will not the next time. Instead of fighting amongst ourselves we should be banning together to make sure they stop with the lies.

    they took my coops tonight its ridiculous i only had two i make my money from those chickens im way over level 70 but still mad they should stay outta my farm whats mine was mine i got them should been able to keep them they should just stay outta everyones business and let us play i spend plenty of money on farm cash to pay zyngas living let me be

    Yeah, that seems like protesting high gas prices by filling up your car and then not driving it…

  129. Effie Spann Says:

    I am so happy you are getting the extra coups, it is not much fun to go to a neighbors farm and see all of the coups, it makes it hard for the game to be fun any more. Then my cousins would call me on the phone and laugh at me and make fun of me for not getting more coups and exchanging them the way they were doing , Then with all of the glitches in the game messing up I did start to stop playing , I cried for a week , but I am sick and this is just about all I do , and I do love it , makes me feel alive. Again for getting all of those coups picked up.

  130. farmasterc Says:

    its not gonna stop me by taking my extra coops ill just use one and put one ready chick in and fill it with non ready ones and put them on the ground and repeat ill still get paid so it done no good to take my extra coop i wont be stopped

  131. maj Says:

    today farmville deleted my 6coops…it was bug in the game which had given me multi coops…now in my gift box they have put130 chickens:’(

    although gift box have capacity of 30 gifts:)
    another bug of more then 30 gifts in a box:)

  132. Nobody2010 Says:

    Zynga has very bad Public Relations. First of all, the people who got extra coops was because of a glitch in the system, it’s not that all of the users broke down and stole something from zynga!! For Christ sake it’s JUST A STUPID GAME! what disturbs me deeply it’s the fact that they do TOOK AWAY everything from the farmer’s account! that in fact is very invasive and invading privacy policies from the facebook users!!!
    My friends and I decided to erase all the crops, take away all the chickens from the coop and boycott ZYNGA.
    BOYCOTT ZYNGAAAAA
    THEY’RE TOO AGRESSIVE WITH THEIR USERS
    THAT’S NOT THE WAY TO GO ZYNGA!!!

  133. Phil Says:

    I think this whole un balancing the production of mystery eggs and mess up the game is all BS. If it is messing it up why are they working on expanding the coops in the future giving the production of mystery eggs a better chance. Which will be the same result at the end. It is just a way of controlling like any business person would do. If that is the case come out and say it and not try to come up with some flimsy excuse. I guess we really can’t complain if we stay playing the game which I intend to do. I have no problem losing the extra chicken coops…what I have a problem with is people who like to control and not be candid about it. I would like to thank them though for not getting rid of all the chikens and letting me decide which ones I wanted to keep.

  134. Loreta Says:

    I had 2 coops…but was by chence or bug..really…just appear when i was putting my chickens in the coop…I didnt use cheat or hack…They delete one…but is not fair say that was by cheat!!

  135. Robert Yates Says:

    Look! Let’s get something straight. I wouldn’t know how to hack or cheat if I tried. I’m not that savvy. But, you don’t realize that this is just a game. No one did anything that you people made available! It was you! Not us! So as a recompense I think you should financially compensate us for every coop you took away. Let’s say $100,000 farmville dollars, or 1 farmville level! We did you no harm! To me you are a child throwing a temper tantrum. We put up with all the glitches like losing our gifts when your program is out of sync or when things don’t quite work right. You owe your game players for those coops you STOLE!

  136. Claudine Says:

    my chicken coops are gone :-(
    at least they put the chickens into my gift box…
    bull****!

  137. bla bla Says:

    I dont get it way some people complain…I didnt hear anything when they hatched our eggs multiple times on one day!!!!
    I know its just a game…but I cant believe that some actually reported their neighbours, that SUCKS!!!!

  138. George Says:

    This is ridiculous…

    I lost my 2 additional chicken coops which I had gained while I was raising my barns due to THEIR mistake.
    It’s so tiring to harvest every day 50 – 100 chickens because they insist on a policy that I really don’t understand…
    How could multiple chicken coops harm FarmVille’s economy?
    And if we were able to put 100 – 150 chickens inside our chicken coops there would be no need at all for most of us to have multiple chicken coops.

    I am really disappointed by Zynga for this thing and I am very disappointed from myself for being one of their customers…

    Have a nice day…

  139. Dragonfyre Says:

    Hey, it’s me again…

    You’re saying that it wasn’t your fault that you got your extra coops? That may be true, but you DID know that only one was allowed, and you kept the extras. Also, Zynga’s trying to tie up the loose ends, and maybe this glitch is easier to fix than the others…heck, it might result in the others disappearing.

    My neighbours never used the glitch (I don’t even know if they knew it existed), so I never benefited from this glitch at all. People are trying to justify that since whatever eggs they get go to their neighbours, there’s nothing wrong with it–that may be true, but there is a ribbon known as the Egg-Celent Discovery…those with multiple coops would have an advantage with that. However, from reading these posts, it seems like that has not been happening recently.

    I do not understand, however, when the chicken coops were first released, you could send them as gifts…if you got one and you already had a coop, it was changed into a chicken…that didn’t make sense in the slightest. Maybe Zynga’s getting rid of all the glitched coops to introduce the option for an expansion or the LEGAL addition of multiple coops…and no, I’m sure it would not be for Farm Cash, because additional Dairy Barns did not cost Farm Cash.

    And to address how it affects the Farmville economy: the supply of eggs increases, due to there being multiple coops, putting downward pressure on the price…which results in the worthless prizes we’ve had…take note that now, there are items worth Farm Cash in the Gold Eggs. Would you rather have a ton of crappy prizes, or one or two of these new ones?

    You are all complaining that the glitches should be fixed…ZYNGA’S DOING JUST THAT! The multiple chicken coops were a glitch, and it’s being fixed…at least they did not delete all your chickens with it…they were even nice enough to expand gift boxes so all the chickens could have somewhere to go. Yes, there are lost gift issues that need to be taken care of, which probably would have been better to fix first, but at least they’re working on fixing something.

    That’s another two cents…

  141. Claudine Says:

    @ dragonfyre:

    just one question: are you working for zynga?

  142. phlashlite Says:

    I’m disappointed because it would be good to have even just two coops for harvesting purposes because people naturally have a lot of chickens in the game. It’s like the cows, so I don’t get why they don’t just allow us access to more coops through normal game channels, like the dairy barns.

    But I really do hope this helps improve the game performance because lately it has been worse than it was 4 months ago and getting worse still. Can’t tell you how many awards I was unable to post because the game froze and wouldn’t complete bringing up the pop-up to submit, or clicking on (very recent) gifts and going straight to the game with no award. But it’s the freezing of pop-ups that don’t fully display and leave you unable to use it (usually having to refresh the page to get the game moving again and consequently losing the pop-up) that are the most infuriating. Always seems to happen when an important pop-up is triggered, like Murphy’s Law. If this fix improves performance, then I can live with it – no problem. I’ll simply adjust.

  143. Valencia Says:

    I see a lot of hate amongst folks, pretty sad. Just one word for you

    BETA

    I am curious as to how many of you who have posted have played actual MMO games in which you pay a monthly fee or have payed for the game (Such as Guild Wars) where there is a true economy going on. Where when there is an error on the part of the developer it generally gets fixed?

    Beta is a beta – subject to change at any time without notification to the end user required. This is why you see many games on Facebook, My Space etc. labeled as Beta, because the commitment on the part of the developer is much more lax.

    If you got an extra coop by the raising of the barns, it was a glitch, it was not allowed. It doesn’t mean you cheated, but it does mean you knowingly had more than the allotted amount of coops allowed.

    If you went to the store and handed the clerk 10 dollars for $9 in items and the clerk gave you 20 back would you keep it? Probably some would, but you also know what they did was wrong and you keeping it is even more wrong. If you have any conscious about you you’d correct it. Just as surely if they short changed you you’d complain.

    It’s a game, it’s not real life.

  144. my3kidsmom Says:

    I did not cheat to get my extra chicken coops -they were the result of the expansion glitch. I know people who constantly bought and sold barns so they could get more coops, but I felt that was wrong. I only kept my extra coops because I needed a quick way to harvest my chickens. My extra coops NEVER produced mystery eggs….I only got 1 mystery egg per harvesting and that didn’t happen every time. However, I was so annoyed yesterday when Zynga took my 4 extra coops that I decided I was through with the whole chicken thing. I sold all of my chickens, sold my remaining coop, and will not ever hatch another mystery egg for as long as I farm. I think if enough people boycott the chickens and mystery eggs Zynga may realize that we need more coops! I wonder how badly will it upset the “farmville economy” if there are no more mystery eggs or chickens to harvest? If anyone’s interested, the facebook boycott group can be found by searching for “boycott farmville chickens”. I would post a link, but every time I try to post here with a link it never gets published!

  145. letty Says:

    well said valencia…so many people have posted that they did not cheat and that the extra coops appeared by a glitch. I had one extra coop and it was deleted last night. I dont have a problem with that because I knew that we were supposed to have just one but i kept the extra one.

    All of us were supposed to have just ONE coop…one user posted that they didnt know that there was a limit. Just because you dont know the rules doesnt mean that you were not breaking them. Ignorance is not a defense. The rules are the rules and we should abide by them.

    I have also read some posts by users that said that they had 30+ coops and that their neighbors were benefiting from the mystery eggs that they produced (this was before the one per day limit) I had several neighbors that had tons of coops but seeing as how they have many many many neighbors it alwas seems like the same people were hatching the eggs over and over again. This was plain to see because when visiting their farms they have A LOT of gold gnomes, tree swings, hot tubs etc…this is probably why the prizes in the gold eggs have been so crappy lately. Thats what they mean by the economy. I mean really how many gold gnomes do you need??? The best prizes in the gold eggs were the ones that were among the very first eggs. Now its crap. Its not special. Maybe now they will go back to developing some really nice prizes in the gold eggs.

  146. phlashlite Says:

    Sure, enough people became aware of the glitch and used it to get extra coops, but considering the millions of people who play this game around the world there would naturally be (and there are) a large number of people who ended up with more than one coop purely by circumstance and not by intent.

    Yet here most critics are calling everyone with extra coops “cheaters” and expressing joy that they are being “punished” by being forced to give up their ill gotten gains. Frankly I agree with others that this sentiment here is most often fueled by jealousy. People can be so small minded. The glitch was a Zynga programming issue that came into the public domain. It wasn’t a cheat or a hack – it was a glitch and there is a difference.

    Zynga recognizes this. That’s why they are being so “nice” about how they are correcting the problem. They know that many people got extra coops (and some may even have them now and not be aware of it because they have never moved their original coop) inadvertently and as such they can’t bring the hammer down on these people. But there’s no way to separate how each user obtained the extras. So instead of just saying “Everyone with extra coops is a cheat” and deleting the coops and extra chickens as a violation of terms, they have given us this parachute-type of a soft landing on the change.

    I think people here should really calm down about calling people cheaters over this subject. It’s not accurate, really in poor taste, and doesn’t reflect well on the one using the label.

  147. Julie Hopper Says:

    I am not thrilled. I am pretty sure some disgruntoled idiot must have turned me in. It was no secret I had multiple coops. I went to my farm one day and could not move my coop. I then realized that my coop had only 1 white chicken, when I had MANY various colored chickens. I went to move my coop and there was still a coop there. I moved that and still another and so on. Each had one white chciken – WHERE was my coop with my gold chickens???? I kept moving coops and finnally found MY coop!!!! I didn’t ASK for this, it HAPPENED. So to all you jealous bussybodies – screw you! I am sorry but I was scared where MY coop was. I just kept them as I DID nothing wrong!!!! I filled them up after a while, and then they stole them back. IT WAS FARMVILLE MISTAKE!!!! THEY screwed up the programming somehow – NOT ME. They were cool enough to take all my chickens and put them in the gift bozx though, so I applaud that, but it was crappy that farmville made the mistake and I have things taken away. Many people have profited form glitches in the past, and I guess I should wine and complain and ask that they should have their things taken away! Oh well whatever. Thanks for at LEAST giving me my chickens back!

  148. Rob Says:

    Just checking back in with the couple of you who are getting ready to sue Zynga. Wondering if you have found a lawyer yet who will take this slam-dunk case. Maybe the few of you can team up and turn it into a class-action suit! A judge will definitely rule in your favor. Maybe the judge will sentence Zynga to give you a free manor, or maybe even 10 fuel refills! I can just see the newspaper headlines. “Justice Prevails in Farmville Chicken Coop Scandal”. Please keep us posted as to how your cases are coming along.

  149. Paul Says:

    Why cheat on such a simple game. give bans too anyone who cheats. i got 1 neighbour with 8 coops and crashes my comp everytime i visit. if u cant play without cheating then dont play at all. i will happily report any cheating cos it’s takes away the fun cos it’s great when u set a goal or level to get too and everyone else is moving 3 or 4 levels up through cheating.

  150. Carolyne quigley Says:

    Well this is alot of hoopala over the chicken coops. Does it matter if it is a glich or cheating? The bottom line is we should all be able to have the luxury of multiple chicken coops. I keep selling off my chickens because it is a royal pain in the neck to collect that many eggs. For the record, I only get a mystery egg about once a week! Why shouldn’t we all be playing the same way? Also, I think some of these people use an automated system to collect prizes but not really sure. How can the post be gone in 1 sec? Alot of neighbors or not it is not fair. I see all these automated labs and other posting to get extra chicken coops, sign up for cheats and gliches. I am not interested. Call me old fashion but we should all have the same things available to us. Let these people with multiple chicken coops see what it is like for the rest of us who don’t have extra chicken coops. Let them sell off their chickens or click, click, click. Cluck,cluck cluck I say FAIR IS FAIR!

  151. Intr0 Says:

    If my coops go, I go. I’m level 42 and have 3 coops.

    I understand something needs to be done, I had a neighbour with over 20 coops which is ridiculous. But surely limit it to 5 or something reasonable

  152. Sandy Y Says:

    I think that your taking away the chicken coops was a lousy dirty thing to do. Just because some people were jealous of those who had extra coops you gave into them.
    Well, I have lost countless gifts because of your glitches, I want compenstated for them. If you can take away you can give. Also, this idea of a “Farmville Economy” is a bunch a crap. This is a game, no different than Nintendo or a pin ball machine. This is computer generated. You program in what you want it to do and that is the end of it. So I hope that the “Farmville Economy” goes bankrupt on all the chickens that are sold back, because we have no place to put them.

  153. Art Says:

    Honestly… I really dont care that they are going to take my coops,I’ve NEVER gotten anything exciting from one of the mystery eggs. The thing that pisses me off is that WE (the players) have made Farmville what it is today. They have won awards, they have gotten PR and to top it off $260 million and more from people who actually buy the farmville cash when in fact EVERYTHING, I repeat EVERYTHING should be free. All the “cool” stuff is farmville cash and we have to pay for it? BS!!!! There are SO SO SO SO SO SO many issues with farmville, I am really close to deleting the game all together. I use to play every single day…. now I play like once every week… sometimes every 2 weeks because its not worth the headache of it. I just wish and hope that someone from Zynga reads how people really feel. They are making TONS of money off of people and could really care less on what we have to say…. yet, we’re the ones that made farmville what it is today…. So F it… Im just gonna deleted the application… Thanks Zynga for making a fun game pathetic…. Zynga is like any other corporation… Just in it for the money, fame and doesnt care about the fans/players. Goodbye Farmsuck….. lol

  156. kimberly Says:

    okay it was not cheating to have more than 1 coop, some users had no coops on their farm and then hatched eggs off the feed page and thats how they were obtained 4 my neighbors., probably most others. not everybody needs to cheat. the barn expansion is how others got some bc if you look in there it says coops coming soon. if u get to the maximum of expansion then u get a coop, so my daughter kept buyin the bigger barns that require fv cash, this is how my daughter obtained all of hers. if farmville takes these coops, i find it to be absolutey ridiculous. why give something to take away and for the glitch with the hatching of eggs 2 where they filled their gift box up with coops well thats fair as far as i am concerned. so to those that dont have multiple coops quit accusing every1 of cheating, if u have no idea of how they were obtained. happy farming =]

  157. Harajuku Girl Says:

    We understand that many of our players enjoy having multiple Chicken Coops, however allowing this is something that threatens the stability of FarmVille. Having multiple coops increases the chances of producing Mystery Eggs. Having too many Mystery Eggs present in the FarmVille economy can unbalance the game. To ensure the health and longevity of FarmVille, we must limit the number of Chicken Coops to one per user.

    In order – or, in Zynga’s case, that’s odor

    1) Threatens “the stability” how?

    2) So what if multiple eggs are produced? What are they going to hurt?

    3) Oh, I get it now. “Unbalance” = “Mystery Eggs produce rare items we’d rather you waste your hard-earned cash paying for like chumps”.

    Bottom Line: There’s *N*O* valid reason for Zynga to limit chicken coops to one coop per farm save for greed on Zynga’s part. Not at all, and we shouldn’t stand by and let them walk all over us like this.

    I have been having a problem with my mystery eggs cutting everyone off after someone clicks OK. It will give the regular ammount if you click on PLAY or HOME or HIT The Back Buttun,, but if 1 person gets the mystery egg and clicks OK instead of PLAY or HOME it cuts everyone else off and says all the mystery eggs are gone. Has anyone else noticed this problem and it isnt only the Mystery Eggs it is the collectables and the bonuses also. I have posted this problem on my profile page and asked my neighbors to kindly click HOME or PLAY but some of them either get so excited they forget or just dont care or they havent read my message.

    Well….
    How about a chicken coop unlock from time to time once a month for example as you do with the Nursery Barns ?
    Come on zynga! be reasonable !
    So many farmers have at least 5 Dairy Barns on their farms…….. and nothing to say of the Nursery Barns… :)
    “Having too many Mystery Eggs present in the FarmVille economy can unbalance the game.” …
    Not true…. the bigger the farm is the more farmers need new chicken coops….
    Taking in account the reached level and the size of the farm… a farm with 26×26 need a least a second 2 chicken coop or a higher expansion until 80 or 100 ….
    So Zynga, think of it ….. :)
