What is the best egg in Grow a Garden?

The Legendary Egg is the best egg overall — it is the only source of S-Tier pets like Golden Phoenix Chick (5.0×), Golden Dragon (4.8×), and Crystal Unicorn Foal (4.5×). However, at 10,000 Coins each, it should only be purchased when your farm generates that amount in under 10 minutes.

Which egg should I buy first?

Buy a Basic Egg (500 Coins) with your first 500 Coins to bootstrap your pet multiplier. Once you have 3-4 plots with B-Tier+ mutations and earn 2,000+ coins per harvest cycle, switch to Rare Eggs. Only buy Legendary Eggs when 10,000 Coins is less than 10 minutes of farming income.

How do egg drop rates work?

Each egg has a fixed petDropRates table that determines the chance of hatching each pet. The percentages sum to ~100% per hatch. For example, the Basic Egg has a 25% chance for Common Garden Cat, 20% for Dust Bunny, and only 4% for Thunder Hawk Chick. Higher-tier pets always have lower drop rates within their egg.

Can I get S-Tier pets from Rare Eggs?

No. S-Tier pets (Golden Phoenix Chick, Golden Dragon, Crystal Unicorn Foal) can only be hatched from Legendary Eggs. Rare Eggs cap out at A-Tier pets like Neon Dragon Hatchling (3.5×). This is why Legendary Eggs are the endgame egg despite their high cost.

Are Seasonal Event Eggs worth buying?

Yes, if you want exclusive pets. Seasonal Event Eggs are the only source of the Lucky Clover Bunny, which has unique Leporine Bloom mutation synergy. They are purchased with Event Tickets instead of Coins, so they don't compete with your farming income. Buy them during active events — they disappear when the event ends.

What is the hatch time for each egg?

Basic Egg: 10 seconds. Rare Egg: 30 seconds. Seasonal Event Egg: 1 minute. Legendary Egg: 2 minutes. Hatch time is a minor consideration — the price and pet pool matter far more for your farming strategy.
