Time
It takes about 1 month(Earth time) before you can ride you chocobo.
>>>Egg hathces in 4 real life days (96 hr)
Theories:
The warmness of the egg is how fast it will hatch.
Color/Breed
up to know all we can do is speculate and make some theories
Theories:
-The egg warmth involves breed. 5 different "levels" of warmth, 5 different breeds. Coincidence? (you might say but there are 6 breeds, well there are the thing is Rounsey can hatch out of any egg since it is the most common)
-Where you raise your egg will reflect breed: (makes sense no?)(http://www.playonline.com/pcd/topics...detail.html)
Sandy = Destrier(yellow, black), Courser(yellow, red)
Bastok = Palfrey(yellow, blue)
Windurst = Jennet(yellow, Green)
Anywhere = Rounsey(yellow)
-Randomness, any breed any color anywhere
Naming your chocobo:
You can choose 2 names from a list of available words, with a maximum combination of 15 letters.

After discovering that the medicinal herb necessary to cure her is currently selling for 50k on AH, I decided to start gardening some wildgrass. Hopefully it will turn out well, and in time to save little Fatty.
