What can I do with hatchable eggs if I don't need more chickens?My Sim has 6 chickens already and she doesn't have enough time to give attention to them all plus llama. She also just got a puppy, she has rabbits and birds too and she has her garden to take care of. She doesn't have enough hours to take care of everything. I never even planned to have more than maybe three hens and one rooster.I can't sell the hatchable eggs and I can't throw them away, I had an option to "put away" (not sure about the wording, my game is in Finnish) but when I clicked it my Sim just waved her arms like she didn't know what to do and then she decided to put the egg on the living room table.Does anybody know how to get rid of them or whatever else we can do with them? I just don't want them to clog up the inventory.

You could gift them or leave them out to be snatched by a hungry fox. Or you could let them hatch and sell the chickens afterwards.

You could probably sell them through the multiselect or whatever it's called option. Usually you can sell anything using it.

My Sim interacted with them for a while and then I got the notification that I have unlocked the bird home and I can buy it on my farm.

Do you mean by clicking the whole bunch of hatchable eggs in my Sims inventory and not just one egg? I tried it too but there was no option to sell them.
I will try it again when I play the next time.

You can befriend the birds and it unlocks the bird home (tree stump with birds) that you can place on your farm. You can then get the birds to help you with your garden. They eat the bugs from your crops.

Interesting. Where do you find the birds to unlock the stump?

Is it not possible to sell them with the sales table tough? I noticed that there is this tradition called Finchwick somethign where you gift some item to another resident. I prefer to gift unwanted inventory items as it increases the relationship with the other sims. If you leave eggs in the woods maybe they will return to your coop if they hatch?

I haven't tried to sell them with the sales table. I expected it's not possible because I couldn't sell them in any other way either. I don't really want to use the sales table because it's very slow and the time is something my Sim doesn't have right now. I'll try to give them as gifts, though, that's a great idea. :)

Wait I could sell hatch-able eggs through my inventory. I’ve done it a lot actually. Can you not at all? So weird.

I think you can also sell hatch-able eggs at the Grocery Stall. I've been selling all the Normal ones that way and keeping only the Excellent ones (although I don't really know what if any difference it makes to hatch a chicken out of an excellent egg).
