Egg weight and Hatching
« on: January 13, 2013, 09:13:40 pm »

Has anyone else noticed that eggs in nest boxes change weight at some stage? I have no idea what this signifies but something tells me that it might possibly be related to whether or not the egg will hatch. For example, I used to have a Roc farm with a female and a male and a nest box. The female would lay an egg or two and sit on it, undisturbed, for a long time and eventually the egg would hatch. Or, sometimes, it wouldn't. What DID always happen was that, some time during the nesting, the eggs weight would go from 60, or thereabouts, to <1. Every egg seems to do this too. What does it mean?

I have never had this happen.  My dwarves steal the eggs from the nest box if I don't lock my crocs in.  I reliably get a crocsplosion.
