@Karrikut - somehow I didn't see your comment oof. But sure. The nest hatches at reset so I'll put you on a list! :D

@Karrikut - I'm so sorry for like three pings in a row. [center][size=7][font=papyrus]Nest #1[/font][/size] So the batch of eggs hatched. And I suppose they are kinda cute. Toxin's gone at least so I consider that a bonus. And the colors aren't too bad either. I'll be going with the firstborn of any hatches just to make this challenge a little more difficult so the other two will be trained and sent off to Earthboi when they grow up! [s]Unless someone wants to give them a permahome of course.[/s] But once the hatchling grows up, I'll go searching for a mate. Try and get rid of piebald if I can. Or peregrine.
