If you are experiencing difficulty in breeding the new Flashing sheep in Farmville, you are not alone. It seems that all aspects surrounding obtaining, breeding and sharing Flashing Sheep have the potential to bewilder. Since the first step to breeding Flashing sheep is obtaining a flashing sheep, I wish that I could share the formula for breeding one from scratch. However, I have not heard of one instance where a Flashing Sheep was produced from breeding non-Flashing Sheep. Though, I am sure this had to happen somewhere along the line, you may have better chances of wining the lottery than getting a
Flashing sheep from breeding the non-flashing sheep on your farm.
With that said, the first step to obtaining a Flashing sheep is to ask one of your neighbors to send you a Flashing sheep lamb. Before clicking on the link your friend sends you, be sure that you have not adopted a sheep in the last 24 hours. If you have, wait and then click on the links after the 24 hours mark has passed. After you have your first Flashing sheep, you will likely feel relieved to finally have one; however, this is only the beginning. Figuring out how to breed the Flashing sheep and produce more has proven to be tricky. I have provided a breakdown of the four factors that go into successful breeding of your first Flashing sheep. The factors listed below are sheep gender, color, design, and sequence selection for breeding. Also, remember that Flashing is considered a feature behaves like sheep color.
Flashing Sheep Example. You cannot see the flash, but notice the metallic look to it.
Gender
Generally, it is best to pass on a design through a Ram. However, with the Flashing design, it isn’t clear whether this type of sheep is electronically coded as a color type or a design. Each flashing sheep actually has it’s own design; so it is more likely that “Flashing” is considered a color. If this is the case, having the flashing Ewe will be better than having the Ram, since the base color generally comes from the Ewe. In the Flashing sheep, the part of the sheep that flashes is the base color of the design. In the Camo design, this is the innermost color and in the star and polka dot sheep, the base color is the color around the stars or polka dots.
Color
Once you have a Flashing sheep, the color of the sheep that you pair it with may determine whether or not you get a Flashing lamb from the union. If you have a Flashing Ewe, you should try to pair the Ewe with the lightest color possible. The reason for doing this is that darker and brighter colors are more dominant than light colors. This means that a darker or brighter color has a greater likelihood of appearing in the resulting sheep. Since the colors that are in the Flashing sheep are darker and brighter, colors, you want those colors to be selected over the light color. If you use a sheep with a dark base color, this dark color may end up in the lamb instead of the Flashing colors.
Design
The different types of designs are Camo, Star, Polka Dot, Belted, Collar, and plain. Since the Flashing feature is coded like a color, the disign of sheep does not make much of a difference. However, if you have difficulty breeding your first Flashing sheep, it may be best to reduce the factors and use a plain design or the same design on both sheep. You may also try breeding the Flashing sheep with a lighter color. The least number of variables thrown into the union, the better. An Example of using the least number of variables is demonstrated in the following combination:
Solid white Ram + Flashing Camo Ewe = Solid Flashing Ram.
This example, which came from an actual breed, follows the regular rules: Ewe = base color (flashing) and Ram = Design (solid color). Once you have produced your first Flashing sheep, feel free to experiment with different designs. I have seen Flashing sheep in every possible design. So if you have a Flashing Ewe, have fun pairing it with Rams of all different designs and see what you get.
Selection Sequence
I cannot say that I understand everything about breeding sequence selection, but I have taken note of some trends that may help you determine the breeding outcome. Once you have selected the Ram and Ewe that you will breed and have placed them in your sheep pen, you must decide which one you will select for breeding first. The one you select first has a good chance of effecting what colors and gender will be selected for the resulting sheep. Here are some observations with respect to selection.
1. When selecting the Ram first, you have a higher chance of getting a boy lamb.
2. When selecting the Ewe first, your resulting Sheep is most likely going to have the base color of the Ewe and the design of the Ram.
3. When selecting the Ram first, there is a stronger chance that the resulting sheep will follow the secondary color of the Ram instead of the sheep. It does not happen often, but it is also possible that the Ewe design could be selected. However, the most likely result from selecting the Ram first is that the resulting sheep will have the design and the colors of the Ram.
If you follow the general rules by selecting the Ewe first, and do not get the results you expected, try changing the selection sequence and try the Ram first. The best thing to remember with respect to selection sequence is that the sheep you select first is favored in color and in gender. Click the Ewe first to have higher chances of a girl with the Ewe colors. Click the Ram first for higher chances of a boy with the Ram colors.
Sharing a Flashing Lamb
If you would like to share Flashing sheep with your neighbors, the best thing to do is to have both a flashing Ewe and a Flashing Ram. Once you have one of each, you know that you can breed them and share Flashing sheep with your friends. Since it is more likely that the “Flashing” feature is considered a color, it will be best to share an Ewe with your friend so they can breed their Flashing sheep more easily. Though breeding two Flashing sheep, will give you the best chances for producing a Flashing sheep lamb, you can be sure of this by assuring the lamb has the autumn or rust like color. If the lamb looks like a regular color and not an autumn like or rusty color, keep it since it probably will not produce a Flashing sheep.
Flashing Lamb Example
Overall, I believe that breeding Flashing Sheep is not as difficult as it may seem. Just remember to keep it simple at first until you have at least one Flashing Ram and one Flashing Ewe. After that, feel free to experiment and mix and match all different colors and designs. Have fun with the beauties. One of the greatest things about Farmville sheep breeding is the infinite number of possibilities.
