Dragon393: I agree with you. However, when I was hunting Ebilia, I found about 50 eggs. I don't think it's possible to hatch them [myself] all before they all get "Old".
I was finding about 3 Ebilia eggs per 30 minutes myself, and I was stunned that was happening.
Why do people do the Egg Hunt? To make TU. Everyone does it. Yes, I did it, too. However I was not expecting to find that many Ebilia eggs.
How many eggs hatched will it take to devalue Seasonal Ebilia and Jaaku eggs? Compared to the average number of them used for Kir?
With each year, and pets not aging in Rancher shops, I still have the concern of devaluing of pets like Ebilia and Jaaku...I've already noticed it for Easero...unless a "trade pet" is introduced for one/both.

14brokenmirrors: Now that you mention that, it kind of makes a point. All the people who don't hatch Ebiliia or Jaaku eggs within a week will have old eggs, and eventually spoiled eggs.
Along with the failed hatched...so far I haven't gotten a "fail" from one of my seasonal eggs.

To counter your Real Life logic, people accidentally skip over eggs all the time. Those eggs could then hatch and repopulate last year. Plus, most animals can reproduce for many seasons.
That's why the pets are called Seasonals. Their eggs are only available once a year.
Logic dictates that the eggs' parents mate only once a year, too.
Yes, people skip over eggs all the time. However, they also collect a lot more eggs than they tend to skip.
IMO, it would be interesting to see Res apply some real-life situations, whether to keep the Creatu numbers down (and prevent devaluation) or to help perfect the system to correspond to systems in RL nature.
