What FarmVille farm is really complete without a flock of chickens located somewhere on it? Although it is common knowledge amongst the majority of Farmville pros that crops will maximize your XP and coin earnings, putting chickens on your farm lends fun and entertainment to the gaming experience. With the recent introduction of chicken coops in the game, the entire process of raising chickens in Farmville got a lot more complicated, and much more fun!
