''A white egg from a bird.''
 
A small '''egg''' laid by a [[hen]] which can be eaten raw or used in [[cooking]] or let hatch into a [[chicken]].
 
 
== Usage ==
 
If eggs are left outside on the ground or in a container, they will [[decay]]. When they have fully decayed, a chicken may hatch.
 
 
* Eggs must be placed on a [[Grass]], [[Dirt_tile]], or [[Crops]] in order to hatch.
 
 
Experiments (Gold 2 map - Nov 07 on the Jenn-Kellon Home server) suggest only 10% of eggs will hatch into chicks, though this percentage likely varies based on creature populations. Having only one egg per tile may increase chances.
 
 
 
 
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.

Description

A white egg from a bird.

Notes

  • 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.
    • 10% of fertile eggs will hatch into chicks, though this percentage likely varies based on creature populations.
    • Note that eggs stored in a fsb no longer have the ability to be hatched.
  • 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
  • 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.
