The Pigpen is a storage Building which was released on August 26, 2010. It was slowly released to all users during the day as a gift. It requires 8 Wooden Boards, 8 Nails, and 8 Bricks to build.
You can have a maximum of 1 Pigpen, and it can be harvested every 23 hours which is half the 46 hour harvest cycle time for the individual pigs.
The Pigpen is not animated in the iPhone version. Even if its full it looks like the empty version. However when you harvest it will count with all of the pigs you have inside.

Expansion
On January 04, 2011, Pigpens became expandable to a capacity of 40. For the expansion to be completed, player requires 12 Wooden Boards, 12 Nails, and 12 Bricks to expand to 30 pigs, then 20 of each part to expand to 40 pigs.
The expansions also changed the amount of slop that can be stored from 10 to 15 for the first expansion and 20 for the second.
Truffle Hunting
On September 3rd, 2010, Stage 2 of the pigpen was released: Truffle Hunting.
Elsewhere in this Wikia you can find the complete Guide:Truffle Hunting.
Pigs in pigpen can be sent out to hunt for truffles. After hunting, a pig will be tired out and need to sleep for 2 days before they can hunt again. If the hunting pig is successful, they will find a Truffle that is sent to one of player's neighbors. You can't use the truffles your hunting pig found unless you send it to your neighbor and they send one back.
Slop is needed to send pigs out hunting. A hunting pig consumes 1 Slop. Slop can be made by using Bushels on the Pigpen.
This option was canceled on April 23rd 2011, and a new option of breeding pigs was released. Since this day, a Truffle can only be obtain once.
History
Just hours after being released, there was a game-wide rollback, after which the Truffle Hunting was gone (disabled). It is assumed it was due to massive bugs related to finding truffles on a 'null' farm. It is unknown whether these 'null' farms were just a bug, or previous users who have left FarmVille and blocked the application, but when you found a truffle on a null farm, you were unable to post to a user wall to eventually get the truffle back. Approximately 50% of all truffle finds were on 'null' farms, leading to users wasting their slop, and cooldown on their pigs. After a day the Truffle Hunting was re-released.
