A new feature of the game is being able to feed the chickens in the player’s neighbors’ coops. Doing this earns the player 4 coins and 1 experience point. After feeding, the chickens then lay an egg. If it is a mystery egg, the player can post it on their wall and friends can claim the egg and open the mystery eggs to get a mystery item.
