The Egg is the everyday product of the chicken coop and usually the first animal product a new farm collects. White and Blue Chickens lay the white Egg, while Brown Chickens lay the Brown Egg, which behaves the same way in every respect. A single egg is a modest sale on its own. Its real worth appears in the Mayonnaise Machine, which turns it into a jar worth almost four times as much. Eggs also feed a long list of kitchen recipes, from a simple Fried Egg to Pink Cake. Any spare egg can go into an Incubator and hatch into a new hen for the flock.
Production
A grown chicken that ate the day before lays one egg each morning. The egg waits on the Coop floor until it is picked up by hand, or an Auto-Grabber gathers it overnight. Skipped meals pause the laying, so a full Silo matters as much as the hens themselves.
Friendship and mood decide how good each egg turns out. Better scores raise the chance of a silver, gold or iridium star. They also unlock the Large Egg, which a contented hen sometimes lays in place of a normal one. A daily pat and a sunny afternoon on fresh grass push both scores upward. The Coopmaster profession speeds up friendship with Coop animals and improves the quality of what they lay.
An Egg placed in the Incubator of a Big Coop or Deluxe Coop hatches into a chick. The new bird takes the colour of its shell, so white eggs hatch white hens and brown eggs hatch brown ones.
Prices
Sold raw, the Egg sits near the bottom of the price list for animal products. Each star of quality lifts the price, and an iridium egg fetches double a plain one. The Rancher profession adds a fifth to the raw price on top of that.
Processing beats every raw option. A Mayonnaise Machine needs three hours to whip one egg into a jar of Mayonnaise. The machine pays no attention to the egg's stars, so even an iridium egg comes out as plain Mayonnaise. That plain jar still sells for nearly twice the iridium egg, which makes the machine the right home for every Egg. The Artisan profession raises the jar's price by two fifths. Rancher and Artisan sit on different branches of the Farming skill, so a farmer has to choose which one to follow.

Uses
The simplest dish is the Fried Egg, cooked from one Egg alone. Cooking an Egg with Milk makes an Omelet, a recipe taught by The Queen of Sauce and also sold at the Stardrop Saloon. Mixing Wheat Flour and an Egg makes Pancakes, which give a short Foraging boost. Adding Sugar to that pair makes a Cookie, the recipe Evelyn shares during her 4-heart event. The same three ingredients also bake a Chocolate Cake. A Melon on top of flour, sugar and egg turns into Pink Cake, while a Blueberry gives a Blueberry Tart instead. Frying a Crab with Wheat Flour, an Egg and Oil makes Crab Cakes, which raise Speed and Defense for a while.
The Mayonnaise made from eggs has its own place in the kitchen. Cooks use it for Coleslaw and the Fish Taco.
Eggs also help with town requests. Now and then, the Special Orders board carries "Gus' Famous Omelet". Gus wants two dozen eggs delivered to the fridge at the Stardrop Saloon, and any kind of egg counts toward the total.

Gifts
An Egg makes a pleasant, low-cost present for several villagers. Alex, Demetrius, Jodi, Kent, Leah, Linus, Pierre, Sam and Shane all like receiving one. The Dwarf, Haley, Jas, Pam, Vincent and the Wizard dislike it. Sebastian hates eggs of the ordinary kind.
Notes
Because one jar takes only three hours, a single Mayonnaise Machine can work through several eggs in a day when refilled. Loading the machine before bed adds one more jar by morning.
White and brown eggs are worth exactly the same, so a mixed flock earns the same as a single-colour one.
