So far , no luck . When it gets close I may settle for another breed that I don't yet have . Or maybe I'll time myself out and not get another egg before I have four hatchlings again . If the split hatchling turns out to be female , she will be abandoned or potentially up for adoption if I can coordinate that and someone wants her . It appears that server difficulties are behind us , knock wood ! 
Question: Why might the writer settle for another breed they don't have yet ?
Because they can't obtain the breed they want .
