How to get more than ONE Gray Horse at FarmVille?
You all know that FarmVille Gray Horse can be found inside the FarmVille Horse Stable - once it is completely built. Till today, there are only two ways to find a Gray Horse at FarmVille. The first one is from the feeds posted by friends after completing their own horse stables while the second method will be discussed underneath in detail. Since most of the farmers have already completed their stables therefore the first method is very less likely to come in front of your eyes. It is not available in the FarmVille Market.
Since FarmVille has no restriction on owning Gray Horses, therefore you can own more than one Gray Horses without the fear of being banned from the game.
How to get More than ONE FarmVille Gray Horse?
The answer to this complex question is not so complex:-
Since FarmVille has no restriction on owning Gray Horses, therefore you can own more than one Gray Horses without the fear of being banned from the game.
How to get More than ONE FarmVille Gray Horse?
The answer to this complex question is not so complex:-
- You can get more than one FarmVille Gray Horses by building your stable more than once.
- Since FarmVille has a limit of 1 stable per farm, therefore, you will be required to sell your first stable after removing your Gray Horse from it and placing it on your farm.
- Build another stable and get another Gray Horse. Remove the Gray Horse and sell the stable again.
- If you have many neighbors who send you daily gifts, then you can very easily collect 50 Collectibles (Brick, Nail, Horseshoe, Harness, Wooden Board) to build a FarmVille Stable.
FarmVille Multiple Chicken Coops Risk - Are you facing a ban?
FarmVille Moderators have time and again warned the users about owning multiple Chicken Coops at their farms. Although in the eyes of most farmers/gamers, owning more than one chicken coops at FarmVille does not tentamounts to cheating because they are attained without using any external tool or feature. In fact these multiple chicken coops were attained by manipulating a glitch inside the game and they are a result of some mistakes by the FarmVille Programmers at Zynga.
FarmVille Community Manager Lexilicious has recently warned about the consequences which a farmer can face for owning multiple chicken coops at his/her farm. Read the warning message here: FarmVille Warning about Multiple Chicken Coop.
What do you think? Is it CHEATING or simply using the FarmVille Glitches or FarmVille Tips and Tricks to get something which Developers failed to fix?
Do you think that FarmVille Gods will really be banning the users who refuse to remove multiple Chicken Coops from their farms or is it merely a threat?

FarmVille Podcast Transcription - 12 Feb 2010
Hey Farmers! Welcome to the Official FarmVille podcast! My name is Lexilicious, and I am the FarmVille Community Manager. This week, we are going to be going over some of our newest releases, I will be answering some User Submitted Questions about the FarmVille team and you guys are all going to get a sneak peek of things coming to FarmVille in the near future.
Well, Valentine’s Day is just about here, and this week, FarmVille was really celebrating in style. We have released tons of new items and features that are sure to get you in the mood to spread the love this Valentine's Day. Early this week, we introduced the new Valentine’s Day Mailbox feature. bringing with it the ability to send your friends and Neighbors Valentines! While receiving Valentines from your friends may give you a warm, fuzzy feeling inside, you'll be extra excited to know that these Valentine's can be redeemed for special items.
Upon opening your Gift Box, you will find a free Valentine's Mailbox waiting for you. Simply place your Mailbox on your farm and let the fun begin! If you "look inside" your Mailbox, you will be able to keep track of how many Valentine's you have collected and how you compare to your friends. I mean, who doesn't like a little healthy competition on Valentine's Day?
In order to collect Valentines, you’ll have to receive them from friends. Clicking the ‘Ask for Love’ button will allow you to send a single Valentines Gift to any of your friends and give them the chance to send you one in return. You can also send Valentines to your friends via the Free Gifts Page.
Upon receiving and accepting a Valentine it will appear in your Gift Box. Clicking "Use" will place the gift in your Mailbox automatically.
As you collect Valentines, you will be able to redeem them for special Valentine's Day themed items. The more Valentine's you collect, the better the reward!
For every 5 Valentines you collect, you’ll be able to post a Feed to your wall that will give your Neighbors a chance to collect a free Valentine. 10 Neighbors will be able to collect one free Valentine when clicking on the feed within 24 hours.
As you collect Valentines, you will notice that your Mailboxes Temperature gauge increases. As your temperature increases, your Mailbox will change appearance. If you're interested in seeing how you compare to your Neighbors, clicking ‘Progress’ in the Valentines Mailbox menu will show how many Valentines you have in comparison to your friends.
In addition to this, we also released the Unwither feature on Monday.
All Farmers know there's nothing worse than withered crops. Until this release, there was nothing to be done but replant your crops and count your losses. Well Farmers, we have some good news. You can now purchase applications of Unwither to revive any withered crops.
If you are in a neighborly mood, you can also use your applications of Unwither to revive any of your Neighbors withered crops!
you can purchase a set of three Unwithers for 30 Farm Cash from the "Upgrade Farm" tab in the Market. Once you purchase sets of Unwither, they are placed in your gift box. You must have 8 or more plots of withered crops for Unwither to become available.
If you would like to lend a helping hand to one of your Neighbors, simply visit their farm and you will receive a pop-up informing you that you can use an application of Unwither to bring their withered crops back to life. Your friends will be sure to thank you!
If you visit a Neighbor's Farm who has not played in more than 30 days, you will be given the option to use a free application of Unwither to bring their withered crops back to life.
On Tuesday, we continued to roll out our Valentine’s Day Features with the new Unwither Ring.
This Valentine's Day, you can give the ultimate gift to your special someone. The owner of an Unwither Ring will never experience withered crops again! Unwither Rings can be purchased from the Market for 250 Farm Cash. Unwither Rings are only Giftable and can be sent to any Neighbor of your choice.
Once you’ve selected the neighbor you’d like to give a ring to, you will be taken to the Ring Customization screen where you can select the type of metal you’d like for the ring, as well as the type of stone. If you’d like, you can also include a personal message to your neighbor.
Once you’ve clicked ‘Buy’, the Farm Cash will be deducted from your account and you will be given a confirmation message that will also give you the opportunity to post a message to your neighbor’s Wall.
The next time your neighbor visits their farm, they’ll receive a pop-up informing them that you have sent them an extra special surprise. If you Neighbor opens their Giftbox, they will find your gift waiting for them.
From there, they will be able to place the ring box onto their farm, but won’t be able to get the ring and your personalized message until Valentine’s Day, February the 14th. The new Unwither Ring is the perfect way to show someone you care.
We have also released numerous Valentine’s Day themed Limited Edition Items. These new items are the perfect way to share your feelings with someone you care for. Deck out your farm for that special someone, or send them a Present from the Market! While you’re there, make sure to take a peek at our new Mystery Box and the new Lunar New Year and Mardi Gras themed Items!
We also noticed that many members of our community were requesting additional Country Flags. As per your request, we have added eleven new Country Flags to the Market this week!
And as with all of our new features, we would love to hear your feedback. If you have any opinions you would like to share, please visit the Official FarmVille forums or www.farmville.com.
So, to really celebrate the spirit of Valentine’s Day, we have some awesome new events for you guys this week. The first one I want to talk about is the Valentine’s Day Decorating Contest.

FarmVille Multiple Chicken Coops Warning
FarmVille Community Manager Lexilicious has warned the farmers to get rid of their multiple chicken coops because she believes that it is CHEATING!!!
Here is the warning message as posted by Lexilicious on FarmVille Official Forums:
"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."
