Egg Hatching Time
I tested egg-hatching time with rocs: I modded them to be COMMON_DOMESTIC + PET - FANCIFUL, to get them at embark. I saved, put back the original raws (in the save folder), then started my game and gave the rocs a few nestboxes. Egg Hatching Time was roughly one season. So I doubt, that hatching time has anything todo with egg size or MEGABEAST tag, as is speculated at some places. Since I put back the original raws, the rocs didn't have the COMMON_DOMESTIC or PET (but PET_EXOTIC) tag while they laid there eggs/hatched (Changing the raws of a running game this way works, doesn't it?).
If there is more evidence suggesting that eggs always hatch after one season (provided they get fertilised), I suggest adding it to the article explicitely --SGdYy409Ls 20:50, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
Never favorite
It appears eggs are never the favorite food of a dwarf. --Old Ancient 21:52, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
Fertilization
Regarding this edit comment:
- "Fertilization depends on a male being present and maximum population, does NOT vary based on species"
I'm curious where this information comes from. My current fortress experienced much difficulty breeding cave crocodiles, but no trouble with several giant birds. --Loci (talk) 19:46, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
- Interesting. I didn't remember anything like that when I was breeding animals, which is why I removed the statement from the article. I wouldn't expect anything other than population to influence fertilization, but I'll re-add what I removed (and possibly do some more testing). --Lethosor (talk) 20:50, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
