* 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.
** Eggs must be placed on a [[grass]], [[dirt tile]], or [[crops]] in order to hatch. Eggs left on [[enchanted grass]], [[rock tile]] or [[lawn]] 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.
