Hatch now or later (Valentines day event?)

I've been lucky with eggs recently and suddenly find myself having eight 10km eggs.

Originally I was going to wait and hatch then during the community day but that is three weeks from now, which is a bit long, and from what I can tell there won't be any additional dust for eggs, only for catching.
So I don't think there's a reason for me to wait until then to hatch my eggs.

But what about an event for Valentines Day?
Has there been any rumour about what we might see then?

Not sure if I'm that fond of waiting like 10 days to hatch my eggs, but if there's even a chance of double xp/dust/candies or something like that, then maybe it's worth waiting?

What do you all think I should do and have you heard any rumours?

There could be a possibility the Star Piece might be temporarily added back into the shop for purchase for whatever the Valentines Day event may entail. If you don't have any Star Pieces, that might be worthwhile for your 10km eggs. But, we just really don't know for sure.

I didn't play during last year's Valentines Day event. Was there double candy for it?

Yes, last year it was double candy for catch, hatch and transfer Pokemon. Buddy distance was also halved.

I have loads of Star Pieces, so I don't have to wait for a sale on those.

Gotcha. In that case, I'm willing to bet double candy will be a thing for this year's potential Valentines Day event. I'd probably take my chances, wait it out, and see what happens. If you hatch your 10km eggs now, you might not even get any more for the event.

Seems like the event started on the 8th of february last year, so if it is the same this year I would only have to wait a few days. And we would also probably get some news about the event in a couple of days or so.

So for now I might as well keep my eggs, atleast for a few days. Perhaps I can get my ninth 10km egg ;)

Generally, the event bonus for egg hatching applies only for eggs caught during the event. I’d wait to see if they offer Super Incubators.

Congrats on the 10k eggs! I’m mired in a 2k streak.

This is not true. Doesn't matter when you got an egg, you will get the exp/candy/stardust bonuses if you hatch it during the event.

Alterations to the egg pool however only apply to eggs you get during the event.

I think you should slit the difference. 3 weeks is a long time to hatch no eggs because you are sitting on 9 10Ks. But the likelihood of refilling if you hatch them all is also low.

So, incubate 4 and then continue to hatch those slots until closer to the event and see if you can't line up 7 or 8 when the time comes.

I had the same considerations a week ago sitting with nine 10k eggs. I have the clear impression that Niantic has increased the drop-rate of 10k eggs, as I have already received 2 new after evolving all 9 last week.

I will wait for valentine. I should have cleared my eggs when they had the 3rd gen only in the eggs and tryed to restock 10s, but missed to do so
