FarmVille has been on a roll the past few weeks with a ton of new features, and finally the 22×22 expansion!

One of these fabulous new features is the latest addition to their ‘buildings with a purpose’ series – a Chicken Coop!

We suspected this building was coming but were surprised to see it giftable. It can also be purchased at the Market for 5000 coins, and can house up to 20 chickens. However, its seems that as of right now, we are allowed only 1 Chicken Coop. The reasoning behind this is not known, so don’t shoot the messenger

***NOTE*** As stated above, you are only allowed 1 coop. If you receive more than 1 chicken coop as a gift, each additional coop will automatically turn into a chicken and be placed in your Gift Box.

The new FarmVille Chicken Coops not only allows us to save space on our farms, but also bring another new feature – Mystery Eggs. FarmVille Mystery Eggs are awarded randomly from chickens inside your new coop. The more chickens you have in your coop, the more often you could be rewarded with a Premium White Mystery Egg (white, brown, black or gold).

When you are awarded one of these Mystery Eggs, you will have the option to post it to your feed and share with your friends. Up to 5 friends will be able to claim an egg to crack open.

But, it seems there are more interesting ones to come!

As you can see from the above screenshot, “Different color chickens give you better eggs”. We can only assume from this, that we will be seeing a wider variety of Mystery Eggs rolling about. (one would think it was Easter time!)

Premium Mystery Eggs come in 4 colors – White, Brown, Black and Gold. Here is the list of prizes inside, according to a post on the Zynga forums:

* Chicken Coop (If you don’t have one already)
