Canal Critters

The old mill canals are full of odd little creatures. Adopt an egg from the bank, put it on your homestead, and every visitor who stops by helps it hatch. Nothing ever dies here: an egg nobody looks after just drifts back down the canal for someone else.

Eggs on the Canal Bank

Log in to adopt an egg. Anyone can help eggs hatch just by visiting members' homesteads.

It's after dark in Lowell. Some eggs only wash up at night…

How it works

  1. Adopt an egg. You can raise 6 eggs and hatchlings at a time.
  2. Paste its code on any of your homestead pages, like <gm-critter number="12"></gm-critter>. It's on the egg's page and in the File Manager.
  3. Each visitor who sees it counts as a view, once a day. Each one who clicks through to its page counts as a visit. Your own don't count.
  4. Common eggs hatch in about a day. Hatchlings grow into adults, and two adults can have an egg of their own.
