Ok... So we were having a chat about regard and all, and after poring over the forum entries about regard and it's connection to drawing out traits and coats from lineage, et cetera, we arrived at a question. Is there a connection, also, between picking up your roo's and the appearance of better coats and traits? Is there an actually counter within the programming that, perhaps, adds "1" if you pick up your roo when it requests it, and subtracts "1" if you don't? It seems like when we pick up our roo's frequently, we get better results in our nests, but trust me, we understand this could be completely psychological, wishful thinking. Could one of the staff please give us an accurate answer? Thanks!
