What do I have to do with eggs?

[Boiler]

So I made a nest for the birds and they decided to lay eggs in it.Now I have no idea what to do with them so if anyone knows what to do with them pls tell me

[Oragepoilu]

Also of note, you can eat Coconuts.

ok thanks

Yeah, you eat them raw, even though the description says something about cooking. They are a pretty good source of food!

Given the description, it might be able to be cooked at some point.

what about salmonellosis? are devs going to allow cooking, pasteurization, or add antibiotics as rare loot in chests?

They're a pretty self sustaining food/drink if you build enough nests. I have something like 24 nests on my raft and can usually get between 1 and 3 eggs from each nest as well as a few feathers from each. I've got them stacked up in chests

Shame that way to much food and nonthing really for feather yet, but I guess it good to get that supply in early, lol

Eggs are way to powerfull and feathers are pretty useless so far. Hope this will change soon.
For Example:
Make the brush breakable too, so you have to craft new ones with feathers from time to time.

Or make clothing and headgear (wide brimmed hats) with feathers, rope, and palm frongs.

I only dread if they add in food spoilage, then there will be little reason to hoard food items like I do now. Not really sure why to be honest since it's so easy to get with fishing and bird nests.

I cannot remember how long ago, but it was quite some time; I placed a nest just inside of each of the raft's 4 corners, and 1 up one level on a side. Since then the eggs are about all I eat. I think they did tweak the eggs a bit. As I recall, at one time both water and food were much higher. IMO fishing when getting started and then eggs from then on are the way to go. Little effort required for fishing and none for the eggs. Farming takes way too much effort for the results you get and the island fruit really do not do much (well water melons are good for water).
