PLEASE be a trans flag chicken!!! I hope the chickens keep the pride colors of the eggs <33
I'm trans and I would LOVE a trans flag pet AAHHH

Same here!
Aaa I just gave someone 8 cd and a different egg purely to have this egg
It's already my favorite-!

so no lesbian or gay eggs? i thought that the pride month eggs would be for lgbt people, or they could've added more than just 5 of them

yeah, theyre the first two letters in lgbt as well, kinda figured theyd be included?

There's rainbow hamsters too! And the litter would've been too big and also there are a limited choice of colours since they're second gen

Update on the store pet guesses! Here's what we've got so far!


Eurasian Magpie


Green Jay


Golden pheasant


Not sure? Azure kingfisher?


Major Mitchell's Cockatoo

I may or may not have had hot flashes at the sight of these beauties...

And jsut because there's one outside my window right now, I've decided that the magpie is a Black-billed Magpie and I reject any solid evidence to the contrary

Thank you so much for these wonders <3

Glad to see CS following up with the all hen litter from last May with the lovely rooster pair this June ^^
I love so many outcomes so far, the hammies and the horses. I can't wait to see what comes from this month.

As for the limited color palate within the 2nd Gen eggs, remember they are still 2nd gens. I think the artist was probably giving a nod to the LGBT flags with the limited colors they could pull from the pairing. I mean they all only feature color families of the parents (Blue,teal/turquoise, pink, black, white, and gray) You can't really pull a full rainbow effect with just these colors unfortunately

Then hen litter from last year had an overarching rainbow theme though:

We've fixed a bug with the store pets where the individual ones weren't available to adopt (should work now)

*squints* Are those...Ace and bi pride chickens?

Regardless of the answer, I'm choosing to believe it.

[ticked tabby]

Wait so this is an ace flag egg?! OMGOSH YAY!!!

[KaceyCat]

Welp, guess it's time to make an Ace Chicken Hoard.

[lady gaga]

gosh im just in love with these store pets.
they're simple enough to dress, yet elegant on their own.

huge thanks to meveh for these beauties ;v;

[Brûlée]

Can we just enjoy the great idea of pride colors and thank what's there instead of doing the "I am feel uncomfortable when we are not about me?" meme? Anyway, I'm really excited for these deer! They have so much potential since they're basically blank slates lol

I have to politely disagree with your comparison there. Although I doubt it was your intention, lesbians have a very long history of being excluded from pride merchandise. It's an ongoing issue even to this day. Target, for example, is currently selling many different pride flags, including a straight ally flag, but not a lesbian flag. So the lack of a lesbian flag here can feel like just another example* of lesbians being forgotten, and it's understandable that people could feel a bit miffed.

*I also want to make it clear I don't begrudge Lacuna on this - she was just working from the color palette available to her, and there wasn't any way to bring in the orange needed for the flag. But it's not as if people desiring a lesbian flag are butting into a conversation that is not about them. If I misunderstood your comment in any way, please correct me.



I'm super excited to see how these turn out! Loving the colors so far.
