Nest Egg: Drop Rates and Odds
What this page helps you decide: whether the Nest Egg is worth farming, and how many hatches its best drop actually costs
The Nest Egg hatches 4 documented chickens, topping out at Rare with the Viking Rooster at 2% — about 50 hatches on average. You get the egg itself by keeping a Classic Rooster on your plot, which lays it at 100%. The full table is below, along with what we found when we added the percentages up.
The published rates do add up
Adding every listed chance on this egg gives exactly 100 percent, which is a point in this table's favour: 9 of the 17 tables in the same index do not, ranging from 91 to 102 percent. That makes the ordering below trustworthy even if individual figures are rounded.
What the ceiling is worth chasing
The rarest thing this egg produces is the Viking Rooster, a Rare at 2%. That works out to roughly 50 hatches before you should expect one. It is the only Rare on this egg, so a long session has exactly one payoff worth naming. 1 of this egg's outcomes appear nowhere else in the drop data — Classic Rooster. Those are the ones that justify farming this egg specifically rather than treating it as a stepping stone.
Where this egg sits in the chain
The Nest Egg is laid by the Classic Rooster at 100%, so keeping one on the plot is the whole supply line — there is no shop or event step in between. Hatching it also moves you forward: 2 of its outcomes lay eggs of their own — the Classic Rooster lays the Nest Egg at 100%, the Cosmo Brat lays the Scratch Egg at 100%. That is the practical reason to farm this egg even after you have the chicken you came for.
