−	As a cockatrice egg, it will induce delayed [[petrification]] if you try to eat or are hit with one; cockatrice eggs are the only eggs monsters will [[throw]] at you. Throwing an egg at a monster will stone them if it hits and the monster is not resistant to petrification; if [[wield]]ed, the cockatrice egg will stone whatever monster you hit it with.

−	Cockatrice eggs can be stockpiled and used as makeshift "grenades" to instantly stone monsters that are particularly troublesome monsters; in a pinch, they may even be a viable [[wish]], similar to a chickatrice [[corpse]]. The easiest method by far to obtain them is to lay them while polymorphed into a female cockatrice; it is also possible but tedious to obtain them via [[polypiling]] [[meatball]]s. Keep in mind that breaking your own laid eggs costs you 1 point of [[Luck]] per egg (up to a maximum of 5 at once).

−	Like real eggs, cockatrice eggs need some special care, as an egg that is just carried will hatch after a short while; stashing the egg in a [[container]] (e.g. a [[sack]]) until their hatching time passes will ensure that you are not surprised by the hatchling (and possibly stoned). You can test for a rotted cockatrice egg after retrieving it from the container by picking up more than one egg after; if they stack in your [[inventory]], they will not hatch.
