An egg laid by a Duck Hen.
How to Acquire/Use (Domestic)
- Build a chicken coop for breeding hens and drakes. When a Mallards drake and hen is placed inside a chicken coop with sufficient fodder, it will occasionally lay Duck Egg that will hutch into Duckling and then turn into a Duck Hen or Duck Drake.
- Animal Husbandry enables you to breed ducks.
If there is a Duck Drake in the coop with the hen, the produced egg will be fertile and will hatch into a Duckling. Fertile eggs need to be brooded by a hen in order to hatch. To be brooded, the egg needs to be in a space anywhere below the hen. A fertilized egg can be moved, but if it's been without a brooding hen for too long, the hatching process will stop. This will "kill" the egg, effectively turning it into unfertilized.
Fertilized eggs show a timer counting up to 100%, this indicates when a Duckling is going to hatch. It takes Game: 6d (Real: 43h 46m), or about 2 days (real time), for a Duckling to hatch from an egg. (be aware that the timer takes some time to show up on freshly laid fertilized eggs)
Quality
New eggs that are layed will have a quality of the average qualities of the hen and the drake, ±5.
Game Development
- Duckwall (2026-05-02)◎ >"Added "Duck"s! Mallards placed in coops may come to lay eggs, and those eggs will be "Duck Egg"s, from which "Duck Drake"s and "Duck Hen"s hatch, by way of "Ducklings". Feathers, eggs, and meat. Will add "Ugly Duckling"s at some point."
