I honestly wasn't aware that "Exercise in a Group" had a negative effect on strength. I thought it was neutral on strength and negative on discernment and receptivity. But I suppose you are right in a way because before day 19 I was using "Listens to music" which does have a negative effect on strength and I'm assuming that it can't go into negative numbers I suppose, and that theres a bottom limit there that all the first generation chocbos started at.
Perhaps to claify some things heres how my care plan went.
Days 1-4, no food obviously, Basic care plan obviously so that could have had an effect there
Days 5-19, Listens to Music Care plan, Carrot Paste which should raise physical stats but how much compared to actual carrots, I'm not sure. The care plan here should have eliminated any effects from the former care plan and most if not all of the effects of the paste if I'm not mistaken (Thanks to Zeenna for reminding me it was day 19 when they grow up ^^)
Days 19-67, Exercise with Chocobos, 3 Vomp Carrots a day 99% of the time, with the exception of when he needed medication and even then still 3 carrots most of the time
Chocobos current Stats:
Strength: Substandard
Endurance: Impressive
Discernment: Poor
Receptivity: Poor

Likes clear weather, but doesn't care for any weather
Knows no abilities (obviously)
Easygoing Personality
Some of the things I can see that might skew the results are:
What kind of effect does poor health have on stat increase from food
what kind of effect does feeding food while it already has a full stomach have (did this once or twice)
What kind of effect does food affection have (i.e. Munches contently, one gulp, etc.)
As for the using food/care plan in tandem, I'm fairly convinced that it probably does increase the results of food, but I'm just looking at what food alone brings to the table here.
To Nakti: I honestly didn't pay so much atention to that at the time, as it didn't occur to me, however I do remember seeing those messages. I cna't honestly make even a rough estimation how how often, but as far as I recall I did see it fairly frequently.
Finally, in truth, I really wasn't deliberately testing for this at all. But when I logged on and saw this change w/o doing anything to my bird to effect such a positive change, I thought it was noteworthy. I do hope this more precise information helps though.
