Players can find them from a Chicken and they naturally drop one every 5-10 minutes. However, the mean average time for an egg is one every 7.5 minutes. This means players simply need to be near a chicken for a while and wait till one egg drops.

Eggs can also be found from Chest Loot from Villages which have a Fletcher house. Foxes are also spawned sometimes while holding an egg in its mouth. Players can either kill them or give them a food item drop to make it release the Egg.

Uses for the Egg

Eggs are mostly a food crafting item that can be used in making complex food items like Cake and Pumpkin Pies. These are one of the best food items in the game currently.

Interestingly, players can also use them in Combat by throwing them at mobs an other players. They deal zero damage but they can aggro mobs.

Eggs can also spawn chickens when they are thrown by hand or by dispensers and they break on the ground. This is very rare as they have a 12.5% chance of doing this. On an even rarer chance, three chickens can spawn from the same egg which is only a 3% chance.
