    It is a lot closer to 1/4 than 1/3.
    And considering that there's closer to a 12.5% chance to obtain a blue chocobo, that makes blue chocobos rare. There's also about a 12.5% chance to obtain a black chocobo, which makes black chocobos rare, as well.

    You want a particular color chocobo? Good luck when there's a 87.5% chance to obtain something other than what you want.
    But how many of those where just bought in rulude?
    Wasn't it determined that the source (warmth) of your egg had no bearing on its chances to be a certain color?
    I don't think that we have determined that yet. So far we have seen that any egg can become a non-yellow chocobo, but not that there is the same percentage chance of that happening.

    what happened to the other colors that were supposed to be in there? like the greens and reds and golds? Mine has white tipped feathers...does that mean she'll be plain yellow?

    I'm sorry, but your golden chocobo is in another update.

    Probably by breeding.

    I know several people who have obtained a yellow chocobo from an ISNM egg, and people who have obtained a colored chocobo from Jeuno. Granted, "several" isn't enough for any hard statistical facts, but its not uncommon to get yellow from ISNM, or colored from storebought.

    Exactly.

    Would it have killed SE to make the 75% probability "NQ" color white, or anything other than public transportation yellow? We all know rental birds come with gum wrappers under the saddle and the faint scent of spilled beer on their tailfeathers. Who wants their hand-raised personal mount to be confused with a taxi?

    Yeah, I'd much rather my chocobo be confused with a crack-smoking mugger

    I got mine from that quest in jeuno. Is there any evidence to show that the color of the choco in the adolescent stages is any indication of the adult color?

    The tail color gives it away.

    Not entirely true. People with blue-tip or black-tip birds during teens have been getting yellows on adulthood as well. Whether someone with a white-tip bird has received a blue/black on adulthood, I haven't heard of it happening yet.

    Unlikely, unless you call it in Grand Theft Auto.

    Yes. I'm starting again and I will be chocoborting at the juvenile stage if I get another white tailfeather.

    Dam I want that bright blue one... maybe if 2 blue chocobos match up... it will be a bright blue. Question is though, is there a chocobo thats blue and male...? O_o
    Yes, look at the picture. Beak shape indicates male or female.

    So females have the squashed, bigger beaks? Mine is male, and it has the smaller, downward-curved beak.

    It's easiest to tell between the two green ones. One's is clearly longer than the other's, and that one is male.

    from what i've seen there "pure blue and pure black" are not out yet. all "blue/black" are the color with white tips. so maybe if you breed enough black/whites together you MIGHT get a full black .but then again they could be theoretical chocobos. (besides the black/white looks cooler imho)
