The big Chocobo researchFollow

As someone has already answered and stated, you can get all stories in all the towns. Different walks, racing, lost choco quest, all give stories but they differ as to which story you get from what in each town but all are available. And don't forget, the long walk gives Two stories!!! So after you get one from it keep taking the long long walks for the second one!

I was curious. 2 of the chocobos that I've bred, both had parents that were green. One chocobo turned out black the other yellow. I was wondering if anybody has tried to breed chocos that had a different colored parent than they turned out to be, and if they bred THOSE chocos and had the parents of that chocos color turn up in the 3rd generation offspring. I plan on breeding both of these birdies and hoping the 'green gene' pops back up. I just wondered in anyone had any information on this aspect of breeding.

I'm just starting to raise my chocobo. I read a few of the guides (including the one on page 1) but damn, this is a long *** thread.

Cliff notes? Does the OP pretty much sum it up or are there several key developments left out that I should look into?

Specifically I was a little surprised (and disappointed) at how much discussion there is about chocobo raising without more specific information as to how to affect their colors and attributes. People still don't know what different eggs, foods, and care types do to chocobo development specifically?

I'm on day 16 for my female, EasternGale, and I'm about to move, so I'll be disconnected for like 3 days. I've tediously taken care of my chocobo, I'm just worried that all my work will go down the crapper during this 3 or more day period that I'm not able to care for my chocobo. Has anyone taken a long absence during chocobo raising? Can the effects be reversed and the affection regained? Just a little worried that all my work may be ruined lol ^^;

getting first class is easy and u can hit that stat by day 36. all u need to do is pick the best plan.
for str and end
chick stage-

food-feed it a cupid worm on the first day if u want so u don't have to bother with raising affection and feed it Vomp carrots.

plan- as for the plan use taking a walk. u should be @ a bit by teen.

Teen stage-

Food- vomp

care plan- delivering packages.

Adult-

food- vomp, u may need to use a green and 2 carrots to keep parent affection

Care plan- delivering messages.

pretty much if u want int it's the same way. just use Z carrots istead of vomp.

care plans r as follows. listen to music>>>> exibit to the public>>>> digging for treasure.

well hope it helps

My Chocobo, BlueClochette, JUST learned Treasure Finder while ill and lovesick. Weird, right? She had Average Rec. and Better than Average Dis.

Hope that says somethin to ya.

Cold, As a Chocobo Rancher with over 10 First Class Birds I AGREE 100% with the above program. It may take a bit longer than you say if the chick comes from poor stat parents but you have the basic plan correct! There is plenty of room for customizing this plan and still achieving First Class Results so I'm sure someone will say they have a better way to do it but all should know you have laid it out for them correctly, all they need to do is follow it :-)

Susan, this has been covered a couple of times in the last 3 or 4 pages of this post but to save you the time of wading through it the best and quickest, sure fire way is to aquire (buy, trade or barter) breeders cards with the stats and abilitys you want your chick to have, including color. Use the honeymoon plan that gives the best chance of inheriting those abilitys. If on day 4 when the chick hatches you don't have the ability at birth just discard the chick and do it again! You've only lost 4 days of your time. The success rate for inheriting abilitys is very high if you choose the correct honeymoon plan, and use good quality breeders cards, about 3 out of 5 times it seems. Then when you have the chick born already with say gallop (or whatever you wanted) raise it strickly for the physical stats! By day 35-45 you will have a first class strength bird with an ability! You will find other people try to tell you to raise for mental, get the ability and then switch to physical but I'm telling you that way takes way too long, is expensive and full of disapointment. I'm telling you this from experiance and success, not just someting I heard. Hope I've helped you accomplish what you are after and saved you time and gil. PS: You will not learn an ability when raising for physical while mental stats are at poor. That is why it needs to be done as I laid it out for you as above.

Which is a better course of action if I am trying to get mind stats up:

1)Listen to music, and a more balanced diet including zhegam carrots?

2)Exhibit to public, with a more greens oriented diet?

3)Or perhaps a balance between the two?

I agree with you outlawbiker.
Gardening helps with cost but it is hard to see how to get that second ability timewise.
I did one and got both but ended up with digging beak to do it. (helps with hot cold game lol.)
I think there has to be a way to get two abilites plus legs. Definately haven't figured it out yet though.

Yesterday was Day 19 and my current chocobo grew up to be a teen now.
And here is, what I found out:

I bought the egg in Jeuno. It was a bit warm. Then I didn't have time and forgot about it. When I found it again in my MH I decided to hand it in.
I raised it in Bastok, and I handed in the egg on a darksday.
The chick also hatched on a darksday. It was a girl and I named it BlackLady.
I fed her only on darksday if possible and gave her 2 Zegham Carrots every day. My careplan was listening to music every day.
Yesterday she became a teen, also at darksday.

And she is yellow (as all teens are) with black tips!!! *klick* This is so awsome!!!
It could be random but it seems to me that name and day can influence the color!
