I’m not quite sure what FarmVille is alluding to here, but I guess we’ll find out…

There are a couple tricks you can use to get your Maison built quickly in FarmVille. You can see my Maison below. I got this thing built in less than 2 hours after they were released. That’s pretty quick in my opinion. After I earned it my friend Pete message me: “Wtf, I have 300 neighbors and I’m not even 1/3 of the way done! Ugh!” I realized that most people didn’t know how to get their Maison built quickly, so I wanted to post this quick tutorial for those of you who are struggling to get your Maison materials.

I’m sure you already know, but you need to collect 10 each of five different materials to build your FarmVille Maison. This is very similar to the FarmVille Horse Stable.The fives items you need are:

Aged Brick

Clinging Vine

Paned Window

Slate Tile

Weathered Board

Okay, so here’s how you can finish your FarmVille Maison faster than your friends…

Post this in your status box:

I am looking for more (Maison Material Here) in FarmVille. Click this link to send me one: (Link Here). In the personal message, tell me which Maison Item (or any other FarmVille item) you want I will send it back to you. This way we can help each other.

Here are the links to use for each item:

http://apps.facebook.com/onthefarm/gifts_send.php?gift=clingingvine
http://apps.facebook.com/onthefarm/gifts_send.php?gift=weatheredboard
http://apps.facebook.com/onthefarm/gifts_send.php?gift=agedbrick
http://apps.facebook.com/onthefarm/gifts_send.php?gift=panedwindow
http://apps.facebook.com/onthefarm/gifts_send.php?gift=slatetile

Now make sure that when you say you’ll send them something back, you do! If you follow-through, you’ll create a very responsive list of friends. Even if you only have 50 friends you will be able to finish your Maison within 2 days. When you FarmVille friends see that you gift back when you say you will, they will be more willing to help you out in the future.
Best of luck!

FarmVille has been “enhanced”. Mystery animals are finally coming to FarmVille it seems. I’m not gonna lie…I’m a bit excited. A few more animals to add to the animal sheet I’m currently working on. I want a dog!

Edit: So far, the mystery crates are disappointing. These are the same ones they have previously released. Confirmed animals included:

Buffalo:

Jackalope:

Peacock:

Ox:

Buck:

Zynga is going to be removing chicken coops from those farmers who have more than one on their farm. The chickens in these coops will be send to your gift box (but presumably if you have more than 30 gifts, they will be gone forever). So, if you have more than one chicken coop, it’s probably best that you take your chickens out of the coop and place them on your farm so that they don’t disappear (Zynga says they won’t disappear, but sometimes…things happen). After they do this, I don’t recommend that you attempt to get multiple FarmVille chicken coops again because this may result in your account being banned. Here’s the official notice from Zynga, which was posted on the Zynga Forum:

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.
