An '''egg''' is an [[item]] that can be used to craft [[food]] items, or thrown for a chance to spawn

Every adult [[chicken]] lays an egg item every 5–10 minutes, except for those that are or were a part of [[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.
A [[fox]] has a 3% chance of spawning with

=== Spawning chickens ===
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 [[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.
The expected value of the number of chicks an egg produces is {{fraction|35|256}} or 13.7%. This means that on average, a chick is spawned every 7.3 eggs, a stack of 16 eggs spawns 2.188 chicks, and a full inventory including the hotbar and off-hand (37 × 16 = 592 eggs) is expected to spawn approximately 81 chicks.
Line 41 ⟶ 50:
An average of 450 seconds elapses for a chicken to lay another egg. Accounting for all probabilities, the average chicken produces 1.09 chickens per hour when all the eggs it lays are thrown.
▲{{INUpcoming|java 1.21.5}}The chick variant depends on which egg variant was thrown, regular eggs hatch temperate chicks, blue eggs hatch cold chicks, while brown eggs hatch warm chicks.
