Nesting and Eye Types
So you've now got your perfect pair together using the information above! Congratulations! Now you've got to nest them. Each flight has a different nest art and provides a different eye color for the dragons hatched there.
As of the 5th anniversary of Flight Rising, there are now different eye types you can get while breeding your dragons! There are 8 different eye types that you can get when breeding dragons; Common, Uncommon, Unusual, Rare, Faceted, Multi-Gaze, Primal, and Goat! The "Glowing" and "Innocent" eye types can only be achieved through a vial purchased through the Gem Marketplace and not breeding. Another eye type, "Swirl", can only be obtained through vials found from fighting in the coliseum! Lastly, the "Dark Sclera" eye type can be crafted at
Baldwin's Bubbling Brew.
Eye types are not genetic!
This means that even though you could be breeding two dragons with the same eye type, their offspring will
not be guaranteed to have that eye type! The probability of getting certain eye types starts with common at roughly 50% of hatches and gets smaller and smaller as you move up to Primal and Multi-Gaze!

Now, of course, you can use your own nests at your own will,
but if you have a pair that you want matching eyes for, you can find a
nesting service!
A nesting service is basically what the title says; you send your dragons over and they breed them for you so the hatchlings have the eye color of their nest. Most of these services require payment, but if you search the Dragon Trades forum, you can usually find a few that work for free, however they may only supply one or two flights that may not be the one you need.
Now that you've figured out what nest to put your dragons in, there is a chance for 1-5 eggs from your pair.
1 Egg: This is shameful. Put your dragons in a tunic of shame.
2 Eggs: Lower than average, but still a decent amount of eggs. If you're sharing the nest, you can split the eggs evenly!
3 Eggs: The average amount of eggs you can get.
4 Eggs: Above average! Give your dragons a pat on the back for doing so well!
5 Eggs: Can only be achieved with dragons of
two different breeds. Extra snacks for the dragons that produced this amount.
Eggs hatch in 6 days if you incubate them every day. 5 days of incubation and 1 day for hatching! The days are counted in between the site's rollover, so you don't actually have to wait exactly 24 hours between button clicks.
However, if you don't have room for the babies, you cannot hatch them!
Nothing bad will happen to them, as egg rot was disabled long ago, so you can potentially keep them in the nest for as long as you want.
