Egg

"All that promise, snatched away. Not bad with bacon."

- Wendy An Egg is a Food item obtained from feeding any Bird in a Birdcage any meats (except for raw Monster Meat) or meat food item. Also, one can occasionally be obtained from the Pengulls' nesting area or dropped if a Pengull was hiding an Egg when it's killed.

Eggs can be used in the Crock Pot recipes Bacon and Eggs, Pierogi, and Waffles, and one Egg is required to craft Birds of the World, one of Wickerbottom's books. Like meats, Eggs can be given to the Pig King in exchange for Gold Nuggets and used to befriend Pigs. Players carrying or picking up Eggs will anger nearby Bunnymen.

Unlike the Tallbird Egg, Eggs cannot be hatched. When spoiled, an Egg will turn into a Rotten Egg, unlike other items, which turn into Rot instead.

Cooked Egg
A Cooked Egg is produced by cooking an Egg on a Campfire, Fire Pit or Star. It can also be used in Crock Pot recipes or given to the Pig King. Feeding a Cooked Egg to a bird in a cage will yield a fresh Egg; this way, spoiled eggs can be reused indefinitely.

Harvesting
Cooked varieties of the following Foods can also be used.

Tips

 * Meats that are not accepted by the Pig King can be converted into Eggs by the bird in a Birdcage, which are accepted in exchange for Gold Nuggets.
 * Spoiling Meats can be saved from turning into Rot by converting them into fresh Eggs.
 * Crock Pot Recipes using eggs can replace recipes that use meat if you have a birdcage.
