There's a method for getting the colour you want... but it's a bit of a faff, and you need to be around to babysit your garden (and not forget like I keep doing!!). You need two eggs - one the colour that you want to hatch, and the colour below. So for example if I want a violet chick/seahorse, I need a violet egg and an indigo egg.

Once you have the eggs, put out fresh food and wait for one of the eggs to wobble.

If the lower colour egg (e.g. indigo in this example) wobbles, dump the food.

If the violet egg wobbles, let it hatch and it will be a violet chick/seahorse.

It does work, but can be a pain to both get the correct pair of eggs, due to random nature of what colour the EB drops, and also can take a while waiting for the correct egg to wobble. I've been trying to do this with a violet and indigo egg for a week now, and I keep forgetting to freeze my garden when I'm not around. I've now gone through all my nests!

Possible jumps--Birthday Wise Fairy goes back to Birthday Fox, then back to Birthday Wrc and continuous on, if starting from Bday elephant it run's through to Bday fox and onwards, their will be a skip on mth's we don't have advanced, so next mth no advanced anyone for instance doing birthday ellie will then skip birthday tortoise to the following mths birhtday froog (as an example)

Extreme
Bday Dodo, Bday TRex, Bday Orangutan, Bday Albino Raccoon

Below are my list's for the quest's, please feel free to help yourselves, for the level critter's I have broke up into their own categories, for instance if you start of with fox and raccoon then next mth you will have hedgehog and hare, the same goes for intermediate and advanced, the birds list is the chick's, which are in alphabetical order, so if you have the crane this mth you should have the jackdaw next mth, any questions just ask, some will also notice a jump in some of their level critter's, this is because of where we first started out, below is a list of critter's I know of so far that have jumps.
some extra info although am sure most have figured out, the rainforest critter's just run one after each other every mth, as in macaw then okapi etc, the bday critters in advanced run  one after the other from the guide, except for the bday dodo, bday trex, bday orangutan and bday albino raccoon which are only in extreme, the field mouse and duck alternates every mth for easy, as does the myths wd, rd and gd, and in intermediate, it's griff through to unicorn and back again, chicks in advanced are in alphabetical order see below.

Thanks for stopping by!
