==Description==''A small white egg laid by from a hen. Can be eaten raw or used in [[cooking]]. Eggs are always [[quality]] 99. If eggs are left outside, they will decay. When they fully decay, a chicken will hatchbird.''
Eggs can also be found by [[foraging]].
== Usage ==
Eggs [[decay]] similarly to other food items. When they have fully decayed, a chicken may hatch.
Both foraged eggs and eggs laid by hens have a chance to be fertile or infertile. Upon examining an egg, you will see if it is fertile or not. Note that any egg stored in a bulk container is no longer fertile.
* Eggs must be placed on a [[Grass]], [[Dirt tile]], or [[Crops]] in order to hatch. Eggs left on [[enchanted grass]] or a [[rock tile]] will not hatch.
* The egg must be fertile to have a chance of hatching.
**10% of eggs will hatch into chicks, though this percentage likely varies based on creature populations.
== Notes ==
* Eggs weigh 0.10 and are always [[quality]] 99 if they are dropped from a hen.
* Eggs found through foraging vary in quality, depending on your foraging skill.
* Renaming the egg sets the name for the hatched chick. However it does not keep the name when it becomes a [[Hen]] or [[Rooster]]
* The hatched chick will appear below you on the ground floor if you are on a higher floor at the time of hatching.
* Eggs can be stored in a [[food storage bin]]
** Note that eggs stored in a fsb no longer have the ability to be hatched.
* Eggs also contain the unusual nondestructive ability to be "sucked", as right-clicking on an egg gives the option to ''Suck Egg''. It will give you a weird feeling. This option is only available if you have no item active.
