How to Get an Egg from a Chicken in Minecraft
This Minecraft tutorial explains how to get an egg from a chicken with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.
In Minecraft, you can add eggs to your inventory by getting them from chickens. Eggs are used in crafting recipes to make cakes and pumpkin pies. Let's explore how to get an egg from a chicken.
Steps to Get an Egg from a Chicken
1. Find a Chicken
In Minecraft when you find a chicken, you can get eggs from that chicken.
If you are having trouble finding a chicken, you can always summon a chicken using a cheat or you can use a spawn egg.
2. Wait for Chicken to Lay an Egg
A chicken will typically lay an egg every 5-10 minutes in the game. If you pause the game, the chicken will also pause and an egg will not appear. You need to keep the game active for the 5-10 minutes before the chicken will lay the egg.
As the chicken lays the egg, the chicken will make a particular "egg-laying" noise and an egg should appear next to the chicken.
3. Pick up the Egg
Make sure you pick up the egg right away, because it will disappear after a while.
Once you pick up the egg, it will appear in your hotbar.
Congratulations, you have just retrieved an egg from a chicken in Minecraft!
