What's the deal with eggs?

[PokemonGoAway]

I've been playing a few days, caught a good number of pokemon, but I still haven't managed to run into an egg. Is there any way to get eggs without paying money, and what happens when you do get an egg?

Fry some bacon?

Always a kidder! It obviously depends on how you cook them.

I get quite a lot eggs from Pokestops. I get them faster than I can hatch them.

I've gotten them at Pokestops as well. Have only hatched 2 so far.

Yes, you get them at pokestops. To hatch more than 1 at a time though you either need to get egg incubators by leveling up to a level that gives you a couple or buy them. You do however always have the one from the beginning that can be used forever, just one egg at a time though.

What you do is hatch them. Its just another way to collect a Pokemon. I'm guessing the eggs that take longer (further) to hatch may be a more powerful Pokemon but that is just my theory. I have 2 hatching now. You find them by touching the ball on your home screen, then choose Pokemon, then swipe right.

I don't think longer means better. I traveled 7k just to get a magikarp.

Good to know. neither of mine have hatched yet. I'll start using the shorter to hatch more.

I've hatched a couple, even a Ledsteplin (and boy was he ornery). I did get a lucky egg, not sure what to do with that just yet.
