Eggs are a type of Food introduced in version 3.20. They can be found in ground nesting waterfowl's and forest birds' nests. Their nutrition to weight ratio is good, but their low weight and uncommonness make them an unreliable food source. The egg size varies depending on the bird they were laid by, Swan eggs being the largest

Where and when to find

Waterfowl like swans and mallards lay eggs on islets and skerries, or near the shore among vegetation, while the ground nesting forest birds, capercaillie, black grouse, willow grouse and hazel grouse, nest in forests. Depending on the species, eggs are laid in Swidden (April), Seedtime (May), Fallow (June), or Hay (July).

As food

Eggs are tasty, nutritious and slow to spoil, but don't seem as nutritious as meat cuts. According to Sami, the developer, eggs contain on average 1 % carbohydrates, 10 % fat and 13 % protein. They don't seem to be useful for acquiring meat either, as there are currently no reports of using them as bait luring prey in to traps, but they appear to be useful as fishing bait for catching small fish (further testing is needed to confirm). Eggs are only edible raw in the unmodded game, but it is possible to mod cooking recipes that have eggs as an ingredient.

Nests and hatching

The only distinguishable feature of a bird's nest are the eggs. Unlike birds in the real world, UnReal World birds don't hatch their eggs. Nesting for them seems to be more like a case of building a nest, laying the eggs and leaving the eggs and offspring to fend for themselves.

When it comes to eggs hatching, according to Sami, the developer, "no (visible) little birds come out from hatched eggs but things are handled (clinically) with bird population adjustments". He also commented that the player's actions shouldn't have an impact on bird populations.

Throwing

Throwing eggs doesn't break them, but using them to drop squirrels from their treetop hideouts hasn't been tested. Their throwing properties are quite bad though, as they'll only fly a maximum of two tiles. Due to their low weight, they don't do practically any damage either. (but if they hit that squirrel, it should still drop and suffer fall damage, right? Testing is still required.)

Mods

One of Privateer's little mods introduces a bird coop, which allows players to get eggs at home.

Easter eggs

Easter was an unknown concept in Iron Age Finland, so the player shouldn't expect to find funky colored eggs laid by a bunny during Easter. It's likely, however, that there were some kind of spring celebrations in Iron Age Finland, but painting eggs was probably not a part of this tradition.
