General Description[ | ]

Fertile Eggs is an Item that can only be found in the form of Golden Pupa loot. Upon being picked up, any Chicken and Turkey eggs harvested by the player have a 10% chance to hatch, giving the player another Chicken or Turkey respectively. When a Chicken or Turkey hatches, a "BKAW!" message will appear above the egg accompanied by a puff of feathers and a new, given poultry spawning. When an egg hatches, the player still receives Cashew Cashews from it at the end of the day, as if it was harvested as normal.
