Category:V0.34:Egglaying

Eggs are laid by creatures with the LAYS_EGGS token. This includes ordinary fowl and reptiles, and also some more exotic creatures such as giant eagles, dragons, kobolds, and many others. Eggs can be used by dwarves as food, or they can be hatched. Eggs can only be eaten raw if at least one of their component materials (yolk, white, or shell) is edible raw; otherwise, they have to be cooked into prepared meals first.

Egg laying animals will claim an empty Nest box if one is available.

Males can also be modded to lay eggs, although these may not hatch.^{Needs clarification}
