Before you begin: Is starting a hatchery really for you?
This is a very important question you will have to answer before you even get your feet wet with the whole “hatchery” thing. What kind of breeding operation are you wanting to run? Everyone on Flight Rising breeds dragons, but not everyone has a hatchery.
A hatchery is distinct from simply breeding dragons and selling them, and you do not have to have a hatchery to do this. Not every “sales” thread constitutes a hatchery.
So what does?
A hatchery is a large breeding operation that specializes in a theme and has a highly organized and scheduled breeding regimen.
If you want the freedom to breed whatever you want, whenever you want, and sell the hatchlings, you should look into making a more casual sales thread and selling dragons to people looking on the “dragons wanted” forum, without worrying about the organization required to run a full scale hatchery.
If you’ve read this far and decided that you want to put the time and energy into running a full scale hatchery, you have some decisions to make. Let's begin.
