FarmVille Piglet

We’ve all heard the rumors of FarmVille Pig Breeding and upgrades to the Pig Pen. Finally, FarmVille Freak is happy to confirm that Pig Breeding is coming soon!

It is no surprise really that Pig Breeding is in our near future with the success of Sheep Breeding and the positive feedback from many farmers who enjoy the endless possibilities of breeding Sheep.

Zynga has shared with us the image below of the user interface when “Looking Inside” the new Pig Pen. From what we gather based on the image it seems that Pig Breeding will work very similar to Sheep Breeding.

As seen clearly in the image, there will be a Pig Pen Expansion available and Love Potions will also be utilized to breed Pigs to guarantee Piglets. So start stocking up on Love Potions! Remember, that you can “Ask For Love Potions” every 4 hours by posting a Facebook News Feed share. Whenever your neighbors click your share, they give you a Love Potion and also get one for themeselves. Up to five neighbors can click on a single Love Potion share.

At the moment, we cannot confirm any more details on the Pig Pen and Pig Breeding, but be sure to stay tuned to FarmVille Freak for up to the minute coverage as it happens!

What do you think of FarmVille Pig Breeding? Are you ready to try your luck at Pig Breeding?

Tonight, in an announcement on the Zynga forums, Lexilicious has announced that the baby piglet feature is currently disabled while technical issues are resolved.
Although currently disabled, some farmers were able to take advantage of the baby piglet feature before it was turned off.

Here is an explanation of how the feature works:

A farmer will come across an expectant pig on their farm and be prompted to return the pregnant pig to their owner (it appears most owners are currently inactive FarmVille players). The farmer then posts to the owner’s wall asking them to claim the pig.

Once the owner of the pig claims them, they place on their farm and return 24 hours later for the birth of the piglets.

When the piglets are born, the owner is then given the opportunity to share with neighbors via the neighbor selection process, similar to gift sending. There is no public post to the wall, so the owner will need to select the individuals they wish to give the piglets to and the recipient will need to accept via gift request page.

Remember the Pregnant Pig that Lexilicious mentioned in a past FarmVille Podcast, dated June 18th? FarmVille Freak also published the Pregnant Pig’s Piglet as an unreleased item.

The Pregnant Pig is now “live” in FarmVille.

The Pregnant Pig works similar to adoptable animals in that you find one on your farm and share via FaceBook newsfeed. Each pregnant pig has a collar with one of your FarmVille neighbors name. Only this neighbor will have the opportunity to adopt the Pregnant Pig. You “return” the Pregnant Pig by posting the notice on the neihgbors farm listed on the collar.

Once adopted, if you provide a home for the Pregnant Pig and take good care of her, in 24 hours there will be a baby Piglets for you to share with your FarmVille neighbors!

FarmVille Pregnant Pig Notice

FarmVille Expecting Pig on FaceBook

Official word from FarmVille’s Community Manager, Lexilicious:

“Piglets!

When tending your farm, you now have a chance to find a sow that is expecting piglets. This little lady will belong to one of your neighbors. The neighbor she belongs to is selected at random.

If you find an expecting sow, she must be returned to her owner. You will receive a pop-up that will allow you to post to your friends wall informing them that you have found their pig.

If a Neighbor has found a pig that belongs to you, you can claim your lost pig by clicking on the applicable feed that has been posted on your wall. After being taken to your farm, you will receive a pop-up that will prompt you to place your little lady on your farm. (After all, a gift box is no place for piglets!)

After she is placed, you will see a message asking you to return in 24 hours. Upon your return, you will find that your pig gave birth to a healthy litter of piglets that you can now share with your friends!” (Source: Official FarmVille Forum)

Note, currently farmers are experiencing technical issues after finding Pregnant Pigs on their farms. Some of the errors include there is no or “?” neighbor listed on her collar and errors are occurring whenever you attempt to share the Pregnant Pig by posting on your neighbor’s wall.

Also many are reporting that the Pregnant Pigs they are finding “belong” to inactive FarmVille neighbors who no longer seem to play FarmVille. Meaning, the name listed on the collar is that of an inactive farmer. Is this is a way for FarmVille to encourage inactive players to return to the farm life? What do you think?
