Eggs

Originally, the Bee Empire—considering that some dodos were given to humans to boost their wellbeing—only had 20 dodo chicks. But each year they laid two eggs, and within a year an egg became a mature egg-laying dodo.

We had breeding pairs, and although I knew inbreeding might be a problem *eventually* if Dalmanrach doesn't do anything, for now it wasn't.

So in the two years that passed since they were saved, our dodo chicks grew and created a new mature generation of dodos. The Bee Empire now had 40 dodos in total.

Only 20 were actually tame, though. The rest were kept prisoners and didn't accept the bee authority much despite the beast tamers doing their best to subdue them.

Those 20 dodos, the beast tamers to control them, the Beehounds and the Beemarines have moved out on my and Bloodhero's orders.

And the purge has begun.
