Grow a Garden 2 has 13 egg types in the site database, and the hatch table of each one lists exactly which pets it can give and how often. The tables also show something the game does not spell out: several eggs share the same pet list, and a flag marks which eggs can still be obtained. This guide puts all of that in one place, using the Grow a Garden 2 Wiki entries stored in the site database.
For what each pet does once hatched, see the pets guide and the guard and thief pets guide. The eggs page has a page for each egg.
Which eggs are obtainable
| Egg | Rarity | Obtainable | Pets in table |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common Egg | Common | Yes | 13 |
| Rainbow Egg | Super | Yes | 13 |
| Big Egg | Mythic | Yes | 13 |
| Sugar Egg | Super | Yes | 4 |
| Exclusive Harvest Egg | Secret | Yes | 4 |
| Exclusive Halloween Egg | Secret | Yes | 4 |
| Small Brown Egg | Common | Yes | No table |
| Mega Egg | Super | No | 13 |
| Epic Egg | Epic | No | 4 |
| Fall Common Egg | Common | No | 8 |
| Fall Rainbow Egg | Super | No | 8 |
| Fall Big Egg | Mythic | No | 8 |
| Fall Mega Egg | Super | No | 8 |
Seven eggs are marked obtainable and six are not. All four Fall eggs and the Epic Egg are in the "not" group, so older guides that recommend the Epic Egg are describing an egg the data now marks as unavailable. The Small Brown Egg has no hatch table in the entries. The Chicken pet lays one about every 5 minutes, according to its ability text.
The Common Egg table
The Common Egg is the baseline, and three other eggs reuse its odds.
| Pet | Chance | Big variant chance |
|---|---|---|
| Frog | 22.4719% | 0.4494% |
| Bunny | 22.4719% | 0.4494% |
| Owl | 18.7266% | 0.3745% |
| Deer | 14.9813% | 0.2996% |
| Turtle | 13.1086% | 0.2622% |
| Robin | 3.3708% | 0.0674% |
| Bee | 3.3708% | 0.0674% |
| Unicorn | 0.2247% | 0.0045% |
| Golden Dragonfly | 0.2247% | 0.0045% |
| Monkey | 0.2247% | 0.0045% |
| Bear | 0.2247% | 0.0045% |
| Firefly | 0.2247% | 0.0045% |
| Raccoon | 0.1498% | 0.0030% |
The listed chances add up to about 99.8%, so the table is rounded and not exactly complete. The big variant chance is 2% of each pet's base chance: Frog is 22.4719% and its big form is 0.4494%.
About 92% of Common Egg hatches are Frog, Bunny, Owl, Deer or Turtle. The five pets at 0.2247% (Unicorn, Golden Dragonfly, Monkey, Bear, Firefly) each take about 445 hatches on average, and Raccoon about 667.
Rainbow, Big and Mega eggs reuse the same odds
The Rainbow Egg, Big Egg and Mega Egg list the same 13 chances as the Common Egg, but the pets carry a prefix: Rainbow Frog, Big Bunny, Mega Owl, and so on. The probabilities match the Common Egg one for one. That means a higher-tier egg changes the form of the pet you receive, not which pets are rare. A Rainbow Raccoon is as rare as a Raccoon, at 0.1498%.
The Mega Egg is the only one of the three marked not obtainable.
Sugar, Harvest and Halloween eggs
These three seasonal eggs each hold four pets, and each lists a 10% chance of a big variant for every pet.
| Egg | Pet | Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Sugar Egg | Sugar Bunny | 49.8752% |
| Chocolate Lab | 29.9551% | |
| Fat Cat | 19.97% | |
| Muffin Man | 0.1997% | |
| Exclusive Harvest Egg | Scarecrow | 71.84% |
| Jackalope | 20% | |
| Red Panda | 8% | |
| Kitsune | 0.16% | |
| Exclusive Halloween Egg | Gargoyle | 50.24% |
| Skeleton Horse | 39.88% | |
| Dire Wolf | 9.47% | |
| Frank | 0.39% |
The most valuable pet in each egg is the rarest one: Muffin Man (every sell worth 1.25x during its sugar high), Kitsune (a Secret pet that steals fruit and turns it Chakra) and Frank (lightning chains to 3 more fruit every 90 seconds). The Exclusive Harvest Egg is the most generous toward its middle pets, since Scarecrow alone is 71.84%.
The Fall eggs
The Fall Common, Rainbow, Big and Mega eggs share an eight-pet table: Dog 25.4124%, Turkey 18.6358%, Hedgehog 18.6358%, Fox 13.5533%, Squirrel 10.165%, Swan 6.7767%, Wolf 6.7767% and Shadow Dragon 0.0444%. The Fall Common Egg lists a big variant for each, such as 0.5082% for Dog and 0.0009% for Shadow Dragon. All four are marked not obtainable, so this table is useful for reference rather than for planning.
The Epic Egg
The Epic Egg lists Deer 60%, Unicorn 30%, Bee 9% and Bear 9%, with a 1% big chance for Bee and Bear and a 0.05% huge chance for Bear. Those figures add up to 108%, so at least one number is likely off. The egg is marked not obtainable anyway. The Common Egg also contains Deer, Unicorn, Bee and Bear, which is why the same pets are still obtainable.
How long a rare pet takes
The average number of hatches for one copy is 100 divided by the chance. It is an average only, since each hatch is independent.
| Pet | Egg | Chance | Average hatches |
|---|---|---|---|
| Muffin Man | Sugar Egg | 0.1997% | about 501 |
| Kitsune | Exclusive Harvest Egg | 0.16% | about 625 |
| Frank | Exclusive Halloween Egg | 0.39% | about 256 |
| Raccoon | Common Egg | 0.1498% | about 668 |
| Shadow Dragon | Fall eggs (not obtainable) | 0.0444% | about 2252 |
If you simply want any of the six rarest Common Egg pets (Unicorn, Golden Dragonfly, Monkey, Bear, Firefly or Raccoon), their combined chance is about 1.27% per hatch, or roughly one in 79. Aiming at one named pet from that group is six times slower than accepting any of them.
How to use this
- 1Decide the pet first, then the egg. Scarecrow, Kitsune and Red Panda come only from the Exclusive Harvest Egg in these tables, and Gargoyle only from the Halloween Egg.
- 2Use the Common Egg for the five common pets and the long-shot five. It is the only always-obtainable egg with Bear, Unicorn, Golden Dragonfly, Monkey, Firefly and Raccoon.
- 3Treat the tier prefix as a form change. Rainbow and Big eggs do not improve your odds of a rare pet.
- 4Skip the "not obtainable" eggs. The Fall eggs and Epic Egg are listed for completeness.
The crates guide covers the other pet-related drops, and the mutations guide explains the Rainbow and Gold effects that Unicorn and Golden Dragonfly double.
Reading the table correctly
Two habits prevent most wrong conclusions. First, compare chances inside one egg only: a 22% pet in the Common Egg and a 20% pet in the Harvest Egg are not comparable, because the Harvest Egg has only four pets and the Common Egg has thirteen. Second, check the obtainable flag before the odds. A generous table on an unavailable egg has no practical use, and the Fall eggs are the clearest example.
Common mistakes
- Chasing the Epic Egg. It is marked not obtainable.
- Expecting a Rainbow or Big Egg to make rare pets easier. The odds are the same as the Common Egg.
- Forgetting that variant pets are separate rolls. Big forms are a small percentage on top of the base chance.
- Planning around the Fall pets without checking that their eggs are listed as unavailable.
- Reading the percentages as exact. The Common Egg adds to about 99.8% and the Epic Egg to 108%.
