Mission to get eggs for diner issue

[RJP]

In the story mode when you get the side mission to collect eggs for diner, if your chickens haven't laid eggs yet, you're outa luck. I built the chicken hatch as soon as it came up in the story mode and filled it with chickens. Shortly after got the mission to supply eggs but my chickens are still chicks. No way to complete this at this stage, especially in the 3 hours they give you.

What you should do (what I always do) is go to a sidequest, walk into the questionmark circle to see what the mission is (dont confirm or refuse anything) and read what it needs, walk out of the questionmark circle again without touching any buttons. Now you know what the mission requires without ever even starting it (so no annoying timer stars ticking down) so you can come back to it later when you have everything you need, and only THEN start the mission and finish it inmediately afterwards.

Thats how I have tackled all side missions that require a certain produce from the very beginning. (doesn't work with plowing sidequests though, but an easy way around that is to just put the timer on real-time, actually giving you 72 real time hours to for example plow two medium sized fields wich will only take you half an hour tops). lol Its not rocket science.
