#### Insta-hatch eggs; questions answered, mysteries revealed!...

maybe i am the only one who was interested in the many mysteries of the insta-hatch egg...
but after much research and experimentation, i have found the following things to be true about these impressive TS inventions...
they WILL retain their Insta-Hatchableness if you...
Place them in your home
Trade them with a friend
Deposit them into an SDB
they will NOT retain their Insta-Hatchableness if you...
Drop them anywhere
Give them to a friend
*Mix them up with "ordinary" eggs
*disputed twice; OP may have been drunk when she tried this. or maybe it was an insta-hatch mystery bug...

- Mine got all mixed up in my move — I had 30-some piggy eggs and about 9 of those were insta-hatch, and I was allowed to hatch all nine of them :)

- I'm calling shenanigans on them no longer being insta-hatchable when mixed into a stack of other eggs. In a stack of 6 butterfly eggs, I have the option to insta-hatch 4 of them.
  Also, they retain insta-hatch status when deposited in a cabinet

- I'm bumping this ancient thread because I can't find any information about insta-hatch anywhere. The wiki article for seasoned eggs doesn't say anything about it, and I don't see it in the list of upgrade cards. If it's not a card, what is it? Some of my eggs seem to be insta-hatchable and others don't, and I don't know why.

- If memory serves, the insta-hatch option was only for the animals that were moved for you when the housing was reset? Does that seem right?

- I don't know about that, but it appears the only way to release anything in the new forest areas is via insta-hatch.

- Yes, insta-hatch was only for the animals who lived in our yards before the housing change and were eggified to pack in moving boxes, not for any eggs that we season ourselves.

- Does this make insta-hatch eggs rare items (for now)?
