Enter message:	[quote][i]Quote from: Kyprinia[/i] My chocobo also hatched on the fourth day. My bit egg yielded a female, who so far has no personality or preferences. I must say that she is the... cutest... thing... ever! So far the only care options are "watch over" and going for a short walk. Care schedule options are basic care, walking, and music, which according to SE's chart means at this early stage we can choose between physical and mental acuity. I must say that for names we have... so many options! I chose Brilliant Fire, though I suppose that's a little cliche. Looking into those doe eyes though... I was sure that I would be told a breed along with a gender when the egg hatched, but I guess they surprised us all now, didn't they? This will make it much more challenging to obtain colors, and I guess I suspected they might not tell us breeds, but I must say that I'm... glad. Not knowing her breed, I appreciate her as an individual even more. Or maybe it's the eyes again. In regards to the realism of temperature-based sex determination. In birds, sex is determined by the Z and W chromosomes, but unlike in mammals, it's the mother's chromosome that "decides". However, in some reptiles it's known that the temperature at which the eggs are incubated can determine the gender of the offspring. Even if chocobos do not use temperature dependent determination, the temperature of the egg could still be an indicator of what gender the baby already is. Males and females could conceivably just put out more or less heat inside the egg, and this could be a way to diagnose the gender with a certain amount of certainty taking into account variation among individuals. So in short, no, I don't think it's unrealistic. :P[/quote]
