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.
    • 10% of fertile eggs will hatch into chicks, though this percentage likely varies based on creature populations.
    • Note that fertile eggs can be stored in an fsb but immediately turn to regular eggs which cannot 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.
