 Can they be eaten raw? --[[User:Dudemcman|Dudemcman]] 04:15, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
-So far i have seen no evidence of them being eaten raw. Maybe raw egg is low on a priority list.
-Of course they do get eaten if turned into meals. That is their greatest utility. Meals.
-:I have seen my dorf eat raw eggs, and have seen my egg stacks get smaller and smaller as time goes by. [[User:Gentgeen|Gentgeen]] 22:35, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
-==Sterile Turkeys==
-I'm new to bird-animal husbandry, but I think my turkeys are doing it wrong.  I've had a fort running for three years now, and have accumulated almost a thousand eggs, and not one of them has hatched.  I embarked with a pair of gobblers and a dozen hens.  To ensure the hens had adequate time to roost I forbid the nest boxes and the eggs of the four fattest birds (so really I'm talking about 30ish eggs that have failed to hatch).  Two years later not one clutch has hatched.  It the problem that I forbade them?  Are my gobblers duds?  Does it have something to do with embark birds?  Has anyone seen a clutch of eggs hatch, and if so under what conditions?
-When it hatches, a dozen poults will fly out and a message will appear. For me, I prevent eggs from being cooked by going to the z>Kitchen screen and turning turkey hen eggs to 'not cook'. Also, I put the birds into a room of nest boxes designated as a pen/pasture and restrict the doors until poults hatch. For extra security you can forbid the eggs that are inside the nest box by using the 't' screen, but I haven't tried forbidding the nest boxes themselves. Either way, restricting the doors to the nest room should work. --[[Special:Contributions/96.254.202.58|96.254.202.58]] 13:53, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
-==Hatching Times==
-Hey, does anyone know how long a bird generally broods over an egg before it hatches? Is is related to the child tag in the raws or is it some standard time period? --[[User:Egodeus|Egodeus]] 07:53, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
-It is theorized that it is related to the egg size. But I have seen no definitive evidence to back this up.  --[[User:IT 000|IT 000]] 18:12, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
-==Store-bought eggs==
-Can you hatch eggs purchased from traders? [[User:Kalon|Kalon]] 05:41, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
-No you cannot --[[User:IT 000|IT 000]] 18:12, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
