Basic collection is a little cheaper, but you can only collect 5 or 6 eggs in a month because you have to wait five days between collections. To get the very most out of a mare, you can collect single eggs most of the month, then flush at the end of the month. I've done that with a couple of mares who were about to age out and ended up with a total of 18 eggs from one, but I only got 13 out of the other mare.

I think it has to be said that collecting eggs overall isn't really a money-making proposition though, not unless you can sell the eggs for like 20 to 40k each. Breeding egg/straw is expensive compared to pastures or hand breeding, and I can't speak for others, but my luck is abysmal. No matter how carefully I match gens and papers, about 90% of my foals from eggs are snipped.

@JustaSaddleTramp thank you! I didn’t realize there was a 5 day wait period between egg collections. That’s super good to know! I’ve heard the pasture bonus really does make a difference in breeding, but I’m v interested in making sure I can have a few different foals from one mare this upcoming season, to see which stallions May or may not suit her slightly better.

@ConfluenceFarms thank you for the info! It’s good to know the actual odds are no different.
