Hatching-tide question

[Ayerc]

I got a second egg after I traded my egg out of my inventory. I gave mine my other character, and when I didn't have an egg, the rhyming Lala (Ul'dah) gave me a new one. So then I traded all three eggs back to the first character, and got a fourth. There was no need to abandon the quest. I'm not sure of the timer to get another egg, as I went to bed after I got the first ones.

Try putting your eggs on your retainer and talking to the quest-giver again, or have a friend hold your eggs for you while you get another.

Edit: This doesn't work for everyone apparently, just had a LS-mate try it, but didn't get a second egg. Could work for some as it did for me, however.
