This question comes in from Lin who’s a brand new farmer. She asks,
Q: i am new to farmville..i adopted 2 pink cows and can’t find them where did they go..help plz
A:
Dearest Lin,
When you click the adopt link, a message will be displayed letting you know whether you’ve actually been the first to adopt the animal first. Be sure to read the message because the successful adoption and the “sorry, someone else has already given the cow/duck/sheep a home” messages look almost identical. Both will show a picture of the smiling animal. If you are successful in adopting the animal, it will appear in your gift box. See screenshot below to see where to find your gift box.
Welcome to Farmville Lin!
Check out the Pink Cow, Mysteries Revealed article for additional details on the pink cow.

Have you ever been plowing away on your farm and noticed a giant yellow coin popping out of the ground? Ever tried running after it with your avatar to catch it? What does it all mean?
If you’ve ever asked yourself these questions, you’re not alone. Every time you see one of these coins pop out of the ground, it’s worth 50 coins in your bank. If the coin appears, you’ve received the bonus. You don’t have to run after it to get the money. The faster you plow, the more likely you are to get these bonuses. Having a tractor helps.
Note that Zynga’s official Farmville FAQ states that the flipping coin is worth 100 coins but this is incorrect. It’s actually only worth 50.

Perhaps one of the reasons Farmville has become so successful is because it does a lot of stream spam on your Facebook wall, thereby giving Zynga free advertising. In most cases, I do not like to participate in the spam and do not allow Farmville to publish updates to my farm on my Facebook feed. However there are certain times when this can be beneficial to your farming buddies. Whenever you get a new ribbon or special achievement, a Farmville notice will appear asking you to “share the wealth.” If you see this button, click on it to post the message to your Facebook wall. This will allow your friends to benefit from your success.
You as well can benefit from your friends ribbons and successes. Just click on the [Get a bonus] link and you can get coins for doing almost nothing. I’ve earned as much as 250 coins from clicking on one of those links. Note that you’ll have to click this link within a certain time period in order to get the bonus. My best guess is that its something like 12 hours.
