Is it okay if I get some perspective on this little guy: Image

I know I haven't seen a lot of people with him, and I am leaning towards the idea that the outcome will be rare rather than uncommon, but all the trades I've been getting have still been pretty heavy overpay asking for much older pets, 2011, 2010 pets. And I get it, it's a pps outcome and it's cute, overpay is a thing. No criticism there. It's just over the years I've gotten really good at quantifying values of pets to help make my trading easier. Even if this little guy goes rare, a 2011 uncommon is still something like twenty times the value.

I'm just getting a little bit unsure how to deal with people asking me to give them much older pets without really understanding that the time span between them really matters. I resorted to removing him from my post because I'm just so far beyond this demand-centered trading trend right now.

What do you do when you know a trade is really unfair, but you also know your partner is just going to throw a hissy-fit about an arbitrary idea that summarizes as 'popularity justifies everything?'

I love the orange in these chicken outcomes!

    Ahhhh, none of my eggs hatched into this, but I am now 100% sure I know the theme of this litter!

    I assumed this one was a seven-coloured tanager

    Today's outcome...

    Looks a lot like a golden tanager

Ohh, definitely looks like it!

Those are some really colorful birds, looking forward to the adult outcomes even more now =D

The chickens are looking wonderful. I like that they seem to be based on tanagers so far.

You have them both (multiples, actually) xD They grow at the time you adopt them, not right at rollover. So if you adopted a while after rollover, they won't grow until that adopt time.

I know everyone is referring to this as rainbow but I personally see different metals in it more than a rainbow.

Adopt virtual pets at Chicken Smoothie!

I can't help but think this litter is a throwback to old cartoons. Like Animaniacs or maybe B&W Mickey cartoons.

Haven't gotten either chick or the fox :(. Ah well.

I have a question actually. I"m not seeing rarities on the December pets yet, I guess I haven't been active enough to see the rarities show up, when do they normally?

"In two months, I can probably get the missing outcome easily for just [insert reasonable value here] instead of a pet that is literally 6+ years older. Sorry, not interested"
Spread the word to end the word, because discrimination based on perceived or actual IQ/"intelligence" is no better than discrimination based on race, gender, etc.

Context, consistency, and clear antecedents are golden.
