Chicken coop
Apparently chicken breeding is no different than caring for other animals, but it can be very surprising though, offering a lot of bonuses. You can get chickens mainly in the form of gifts and already in the game beginning, so their breeding is very common. Chickens lay eggs on your farm from time to time, which can be collected but as a professional farmer you should think about investing in a chicken coop.
You can buy the Chicken Coop at the Market (Buildings bookmark) for some coins. Then you have to move your chickens there by selecting the Move option and then clicking the coop. There is a place for 20 chickens of different colors by default in the chicken coop. The most common are white chickens, but you can also come across other varieties which you can win, buy for Farm Cash or with help from your friends (not as gifts). These types of chicken are mostly hatched from our friends' Mystery Eggs.
Mystery Eggs
Chickens in Chicken Coop lay eggs once a day but apart from the prize money for it you can sometimes come across something special. The chance of finding so-called Mystery Egg increases with the number of chickens in the chicken coop.
The color of Mystery Eggs is connected with chicken species you have, which mean that if you have only white chickens you'll get only white Mystery Eggs. So to have for example brown Mystery Egg you have to own at least one chicken in this color. Of course more chicken in particular color you have, the greater is the chance to have the Mystery Egg in the same color. Mystery Eggs are not very common so it may take several days until you find an unique gift in your chicken coop.
It is not hard to figure out that more rare the egg is, the more valuable is the reward. By finding only white mystery eggs, you can get only some small bonuses like experience points or coins, but having black eggs or Scottish ones, will provide you with really unique items or even buildings. If you're lucky and find a Mystery Egg, do inform your friends immediately. They will try to get the same egg for sure. If you will get a Mystery Egg as a gift, go to your gifts and open it.
Neighborly help
You can also get a Mystery Egg while visiting you neighbors' farms. If you friend farmer has a chicken coop, you will have an option to feed his chickens (on the left side), besides helping him in the farm. Just click then Feed icon or the chicken coop. After leaving the grain, wait a little and then the game will tell you whether you're lucky or not. If your neighbor is a quite advanced farmer, he probably has different varieties of chickens, so the chance of collecting a unique egg is very big in this case.
