FarmVille Pregnant Pigs & Piglets!

FarmVille Pregnant Pig belongs to...
FarmVille Pregnant Pig
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!

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?

Is FarmVille Replacing Black Stallion & Black Stallion Foals with Black Horses & Foals?

FarmVille Black Stallion on a Farm
Do you remember when the Black Stallion was mysteriously available in the FarmVille Market for only a few minutes? If not, read this FarmVille Freak Post, "FarmVille Black Stallion Mystery". Well, despite being released for only minutes in the FarmVille Market, some lucky farmers were quick enough to snag their own Black Stallion for 40,000 coins. This release was unintentional by FarmVille.

According to some farmers, Zynga is reportedly correcting their unintentional error by refunding the 40,000 coins and replacing Black Stallions and Black Stallion Foals with plain ordinary Black Horses and Black Foals.

FarmVille Freak has not confirmed that this is true and we are waiting a response from Zynga.

From FarmVille Freak Cecil:

    "Here is an email I recieved today regarding the Black Stallion and Black Stallion Foals.... makes me sick to my stomach... Oh and I am still missing my new Breton Horse!

    Hello Cecil,

    Thanks for contacting Zynga.

    We are aware that there was a glitch in FarmVille that allowed users to purchase the Black Stallion for coins in the Market for a very brief time. This was not intended. We have resolved the issue by removing Black Stallions and Black Stallion foals from the game.

    Users with Black Stallions received Black Horses, instead. Users with Black Stallions foals received Black Foals.

    If you purchased the Black Stallion from the Market, you were credited 40,000 coins for each purchase, which has automatically been added to your coin balance. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding.

    Kind regards,
    Lucas S
    Zynga Customer Support"

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Fiorland Penguin, Koala, Caribou and more

    Fiorland Penguin     Caribou     Koala
See, I told you it wouldn't be long before Zynga thought up some more stuff. Soon, there will be a whole new set of animals and decorations to play around with in FarmVille. Thanks to FarmVille Freak, we have images of four new animals that may or may not appear in the game sometime soon. This time around a Fiorland Penguin might join us as well as a Koala, a Caribou and a Prz Foal.

While all four of these critters are equally adorable, that Prz Foal is most intriguing. Why? Well, because I previously had no idea where in the world it came from. As it turns out, its full name is the Przwalski's Horse and it currently reigns from Mongolia and China, but that's only after the breed was declared extinct for time. Thankfully, it was declared "critically endangered" by the World Conservation Union's Red List of Threatened Species in 2008 thanks to the reintroduction efforts by wildlife organizations in Mongolia, China and Kazakhstan. And soon, you might be able to raise one of your on your farm. Isn't digital life great?

FarmVille Sneak Peek: CityVille promotion coming to your farm soon?

FarmVille will soon get another taste of the city in one of Zynga's infamous cross promotions. While we covered this still unreleased item a few weeks ago, our friends at FarmVille Freak have found more images confirming that this CityVille promotional item will more than likely hit FarmVille soon. In addition to an image of the item itself, the blog found promotional artwork that will likely be placed in the game as pop ups.

However, we still haven't an idea in the slightest as to when or how this item will be implemented. But if you look closely at the item, it looks as if the Cow and Chicken are plotting a building design. With that said, we can imagine that players will be sent into CityVille on a quest that involves either what FarmVille players know best, farming, or creating a building of some sort. However, this is purely speculation. We'll have to wait and see what Zynga has cooking for another journey into the city.

FarmVille Feed Trough lures in the Elephant

Be on the lookout for any massive, gray bodies roaming your FarmVille farm, because it's probably an Elephant. FarmVille Freak reports that the next animal to be roped in via the Feed Trough is the Elephant. FarmVille Freak guesses that this Elephant might be the Baby Elephant previously offered during the Country Fair event in 2009. If it's anything like previous additions to the Feed Trough, the Elephant will only be around for a limited time. So, stock up on that feed before you miss your chance at what might a once limited edition animal.

Have you seen Elephants on your farm thanks to the Feed Trough? What animals would you like to see appear next?

FarmVille Sneak Peek: Motorcycle Sheep to wheelie on the farm soon?

Now, if only a mouse were riding that motorcycle, then this news would be that much more awesome. Zynga has released a teaser image of what FarmVille Freak imagines will be a new animal headed to FarmVille. It's an adorably badass sheep on a motorcycle, and not other details were given.

But with a teaser as awesome as this, I think I can be distracted long enough to forget how long it might be before more info is released. Is this part of a new theme headed to the game? Is this a new RewardVille item? How about a Collection reward? Can we breed said biker Sheep? We'll get answers to these questions soon enough. Until then, resume adoration.
