Eggs are laid by chickens after being fed Chicken Feed. Chickens will only lay eggs the next morning if they have been fed Chicken Feed before sunset.
They can be used for chicken breeding as well as an early renewable food source. When thrown, eggs have the same particle effect on impact as snowballs and additionally have a 1/8 chance of spawning one baby chicken. If that happens, there is an additional 1/32 chance of the egg spawning 4 baby chickens instead of one. In the case of no chickens being spawned, a Raw Egg will be dropped. This works in The Nether and The End.

Laying

Chickens will only lay Eggs after being fed Chicken Feed. They will lay their egg on the next morning as long as they were fed before sunset. If they were fed after sunset then the Egg will be laid on the morning afterward.

Chicken Breeding

The only way to get new chickens is with Eggs. When an Egg is thrown against a surface it'll have a small chance of spawning a baby chicken and a very small (1/32) chance of spawning 4 baby chickens.

Food

While Eggs themselves are not used to make foods, they do drop a Raw Egg when thrown against a surface.

Keep In Mind

  • Eggs can be thrown at mobs but will deal no damage.
  • Throwing an Egg at a neutral mob will provoke them.
  • If too many chickens are in a small area they will start suffocating and dying.
  • Like arrows and snowballs, eggs are fired from the dispenser and have the same effects as a thrown snowball when placed into a dispenser and then activated. Eggs fired in this manner have the same chance of spawning chickens when breaking on the ground.
  • If an egg is thrown through lava, it will catch on fire similarly to an arrow, and will not burn away.
  • If an egg is thrown through water, it will leave a trail of bubbles, much as snowballs and arrows do.
  • Eggs push mobs back, but do not deal damage to them.
    • However, thrown eggs deal damage to the Ender Dragon, but since they deal so little damage it is only practical to kill the Ender Dragon this way in Creative mode.
  • If the player is standing near a chicken when it lays an egg, a "pop" can be heard.
  • Eggs will break midfall if hit by another projectile; The chance of spawning a baby chicken is not affected.
  • Throwing an egg at a portal will break the egg when it hits the portal, but a spawned chicken will still go through the portal.
  • If a player is killed with chicken eggs in a server, it will say [victim] was pummeled by [killer]. This message is unused because eggs don't cause damage. Ender pearls and snowballs will also display this message.
  • If an egg is thrown at an adult chicken and a baby is hatched, the baby chicken will follow the adult chicken around, thinking the adult chicken is its mother/father.
