Recent (Gold 2 map - Nov 07) experiments on the Home server suggest only 10% of eggs will hatch into chicks, though this percentage likely varies based on creature populations.
Eggs will take approximately 30 [[day]]s to hatch if left in your [[inventory]]. Eggs also contain the unusual nondestructive ability to be "sucked", as right-clicking on an egg gives the option to "Suck Egg". This option is only seems to appear after a certain level of damage however (at least 28 damage)available if you have no item active.
