Do wild eggs ever hatch?
« on: February 21, 2011, 09:10:18 pm »
I created a wild animal farm (essentially a pit filled with nest boxes) but the eggs don't seem to be hatching, even though the mothers are sitting on them. It's been like a year. (Clarification: I have no idea how long it's been, but at least a few seasons)

They certainly do, though you'll need a male around.  I recently had a massive explosion of poults from a turkey hen.

I was wondering if perhaps they wouldn't hatch if they were EXOTIC, much how only PETS breed right now...
