Hatch timer
Hatching keeps running while you are offline, so the only thing you actually need is a reminder of when to come back. Start a timer per egg and this page will tell you — it survives a refresh, and can raise a browser notification the moment one completes.
Loading your timers…
Exact per-egg hatch durations are not published anywhere we consider reliable, and they shift with size and mutation, so this tool asks you for the duration rather than guessing one. Community reports put common Forest eggs around 30 seconds and the rarest pulls at several hours. If you have timed an egg precisely, send it in — we will publish it with your observation credited as the source.
What is actually known about hatch times
This is the honest answer, and it is shorter than most pages on the subject: there is no reliable published table of per-egg hatch durations. What multiple sources do agree on is the shape of it — roughly 30 seconds for a common Forest egg, a couple of minutes in the middle biomes, up to several hours for Secret and Eternal pulls — and that size and mutation shift the number further.
Hatching runs offline — plan around it
Because the server tracks progress whether or not you are connected, long hatches are free time rather than dead time. The efficient pattern most players settle into:
- Start your longest hatches right before you stop playing.
- Keep short hatches for active sessions, where you can collect and re-fill immediately.
- Hold unhatched eggs going into the Saturday Admin Abuse window, so any hatch boosts apply to a full stack rather than one egg.
About the notifications
The alert uses your browser's own notification system, which means it only fires while the browser is running and you have granted permission. It does not need an account and nothing is sent anywhere — the timers live in your device's local storage and never leave it.
Hatch time FAQ
How long does an egg take to hatch in Steal An Egg?
Community reports put common Forest eggs at roughly 30 seconds, mid-tier eggs at a few minutes, and the rarest Secret and Eternal pulls at several hours. There is no published per-egg table we consider reliable enough to republish.
Do eggs hatch while you are offline?
Yes. The server tracks hatch progress in real time, so you do not need to keep the game open. That is what makes an external timer useful — you only need to know when to come back.
Do size and mutation change the hatch time?
Community sources report that they can. This is one reason a single fixed number per egg would be misleading, and why this tool asks you for the duration you actually observed.
Can I speed up hatching?
There is no confirmed way to shorten a hatch timer other than the boosts developers apply during the Saturday Admin Abuse event.
