Farmville - Get a piglet

You can now get piglets from your friends by helping an expecting pig.
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.

How do I get my neighbors to harvest my crops when I want them to?

For three horseshoes you can buy signs, one says tend here and the other says hands off.   These signs are meant for just what they say, as you can see with mine.

There will be times when you are doing a task and need to harvest your own crop, than you use the hands off sign.  The tend sign here is perfect when you are growing cotton, which takes four days.  For every neighbor that fertilizes the cotton crop, 23 hours will be eliminated from the time it is ready to harvest, that is why you want the tend here sign.  Happy farming!
