== Description ==
''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]]. Eggs can also be found by [[foraging]].
== 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_tileDirt 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.
== Notes ==
* Eggs weigh 0.10 and are always [[quality]] 99if they are dropped from a hen.* Eggs found through foraging vary in quality, although the damage increases with timedepending 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 must can be placed (dropped 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 ground)option to ''Suck Egg''. It will give you a weird feeling. This option is only available if you have no item active.
