THE LONELY CHICKEN METHOD to Make Lots of FarmVille Coins

How to Get Top Dollar from your Ready-to-Harvest Chickens

To make the most FarmVille coins from your ready-to-harvest chickens that aren’t in your coop, try the Lonely Chicken Method. This method appears to pay more per chicken than harvesting them inside a coop full of chickens or outside the coop. Then after you used up your ready-to-harvest chickens, you can make more coins again and again using the Unlimited Coin Method (click here for details).

Note: If your coop has been fed by neighbors (to find out, mouse over it and it will say if it has been fed by friends), and you want to make Mystery Eggs, fill and harvest your coop first before using the Lonely Chicken Method. Your friends’ feeding increases the chances of getting a Mystery Egg, but your chances are greatest when you harvest a full coop. Don’t let your friends’ work go to waste.

How the Lonely Chicken Method Works

You earn more FarmVille coins per chicken when you put one “ready” chicken (with a pink indicator above its head) into an empty coop and then harvest the coop. Then when you remove the chicken from the coop, it will no longer show as “ready” and you can repeat the process with another “ready” chicken.

The Lonely Chicken Pays More Coins than Any Other Harvest Method

Harvesting a coop containing one golden chicken averages about $296 coins per golden chicken, versus harvesting a coop full of chickens at an average of $184 per golden chicken. The only way you can harvest a single chicken in a coop is by putting a “ready” chicken in by itself. (If you put a “not ready” chicken in, the coop won’t be harvestable.) Therefore, you should get the most coins out of your “ready” chickens by harvesting them as the only chicken in a coop than by harvesting them outside the coop or inside a full coop. You can use these methods with any color chicken, but golden chickens earn the most.
