− | A nested female will lay eggs regardless of the presence of a male of the same species, however the eggs will not be fertilized unless a male is present. Hatching does not require a male to be around, once the eggs are fertilized and laid. If a male is present, the eggs may be fertilized and will hatch if the dwarves can be prevented from collecting them out of the nest box and hauling them to be eaten. To achieve this, eggs can be [[forbidden]], or access to the nest box can be blocked with locked doors, or eggs can be forbidden as a cooking ingredient in the kitchen menu and disabled in all food stockpiles reachable from the nest. | + | A nested female will lay eggs regardless of the presence of a male of the same species, however the eggs will not be fertilized unless a male is present.

In order to check if the egg is fertilized, simply press q and hover over the nest box. Eggs do not appear to go rotten and can be collected and cooked after two or more seasons without generating [[miasma]]. |
When the eggs are harvested from an occupied nest box, the female bird will leave the box, making it unoccupied once more. If you have a stockpile set to automatically receive eggs, then it is very likely that all your nest boxes will appear to be empty. | When the eggs are harvested from an occupied nest box, the female bird will leave the box, making it unoccupied once more.
