Egg

Description

A white egg from a bird.

A small egg laid by a hen which can be eaten raw, used in cooking or let hatch into a chicken.

Eggs can also be found by foraging.

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.
- 10% of eggs will hatch into chicks, though this percentage likely varies based on creature populations.

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.
