Quoting the Rules again because they keep being Overlooked
Okay so I added the same rules that are in the "rules" sections to the Basic Information right below the eggs in hopes that it will not be missed / overlooked this time. I know it's easy to miss and there's a lot of information, but you're going to be skipped this month if these mistakes keep happening. I also color coded the parts that people keep messing up. And to add, please - please stop trying to use PPS babies to adopt eggs. The Hatchery is supposed to be a more realistic alternative mostly to breeding, this is not so you can pair a PPS with an adult or two PPS(s) or whatever to get a brand new viscet. In real life a child cannot walk into an adoption center and demand a child, and neither can that happen here. So please, read the rules and abide by them. This is the last public message warning I'm giving, after this if you ignore the rules - I or another staff member - will publicly quote & decline your batch request which will count as your 1 post for this month. Meaning that regardless of editing in attempts to fix it, you will not be getting a batch at all this opening. Thank you.

[Basic Information]
✦The Hatchery & The Nursery will fully open on alternating months.
.............e.g: Nursery (Feb), Hatchery (Mar), Nursery (Apr), etc...
✦Please be sure to read the full Rules section before submitting a batch adoption request.
✦Any viscet pair (or single viscets even) can apply for an adoption however there are some rules to this.However infertile / pairings than cannot breed naturally together get the first pick on eggs (Days 1-5).
✦To adopt an abandoned egg you'll need to fill out the form found here and pick your egg from the currently available ones.Schedule for Hatchery Claims:
Day 1-5: Only infertile / same-sex pairings can request adoptions
Day 6-15: Any pairings or single viscets can request adoptions
note this is actually in the rules section but has been added here since it keeps getting over looked.
✦Only adult viscets, that have been owned 30 days or more, can apply for adoptions.
✦When selecting an egg for adoption, remember your viscet(s) must have at least one similar color with the egg palette to be accepted.
✦ MAKE SURE the egg hasn't already been adopted before you! I'll remove it as fast as I can once I see it's adopted, but just check the last 2-3 posts to make sure no one else has gotten it.
✦ If for some reason you can't take the image URL to put in your form (on mobile, etc), just click the image--it'll take you to it.
✦ Keep in mind that the 2 posts per user ID applies to the Hatchery as well.{First month: March opening every user will only get 1 post per user ID}
✦ You must post a full, complete form in order to adopt. You cannot "claim" eggs before filling out a form.
✦The spotted eggs will likely be used more than once / recycled after an allotted amount of time. So keep in mind that each egg is not a one time use, and others in the future may also claim the same egg palette.
