	An '''egg''' is an [[Minecraft:item]] that is dropped by [[Minecraft:chicken]]s ~~and~~ can be used to craft [[Minecraft:food]] items, such as [[Minecraft:cake]], and can be thrown for a chance to spawn baby chickens on impact. They have three variants based on the variant of the corresponding chicken: the standard egg for temperate chickens, '''brown egg''' for warm chickens, and '''blue egg''' for cold chickens.		An '''egg''' is an [[Minecraft:item]] that is dropped by [[Minecraft:chicken]]s every few minutes while they are still alive. It can be used to craft [[Minecraft:food]] items, such as [[Minecraft:cake]], and can be thrown for a chance to spawn baby chickens on impact. They have three variants based on the variant of the corresponding chicken: the standard egg for temperate chickens, '''brown egg''' for warm chickens, and '''blue egg''' for cold chickens.

	Every adult [[Minecraft:chicken]] lays an egg item every 5–10 minutes, except for those that are or were part of [[Minecraft:chicken jockey]]s. The theoretical average would be expected at 1 egg every 7.5 minutes (9000 game ticks). The type of egg being laid depends on the chicken variant; temperate chickens lay normal eggs, cold chickens lay blue eggs, and warm chickens lay brown eggs.

	When thrown by a dispenser or by pressing the {{control\|use}} button, an egg has a {{fraction\|1\|8}} (12.5%) chance of spawning a [[Minecraft:chick]]. If this occurs, there is a {{fraction\|1\|32}} (3.125%) chance of spawning three additional chicks (on average, 1 out of every 256 eggs spawns 4 chicks). In other words, whenever an egg is thrown, there is a {{fraction\|31\|256}} chance of spawning 1 chick and a {{fraction\|1\|256}} chance of spawning four chicks.
