| − | ==Using a cockatrice egg==
| |
| − | When [[throw]]n, the egg will [[stoning|stone]] the [[monster]] that it hits if the monster is not resistant to petrification. If [[wield]]ed, the cockatrice egg will stone whatever monster you hit. After either of these, the cockatrice egg is broken and cannot be re-used. Hitting a monster with a stack of eggs will break all of them, not just one.

| − | ==Obtaining cockatrice eggs==
| |
| − | They can be obtained by:
| |
| − | * [[Wish]]ing for them.
| |
| − | * [[sit|Laying]] an egg while [[polymorph]]ed into a female cockatrice.
| |
| − | ** Breaking your own eggs costs you 1 point of [[Luck]] per egg (up to a maximum of 5 at once).
| |
| − | * [[Polypiling]] meatballs (which can be obtained via the [[stone to flesh]] spell).
| |
| − | * In small numbers (occasionally none) in a [[cockatrice nest]]

| − | ==Keeping a cockatrice egg==
| |
| − | Like real eggs, cockatrice eggs need some special care. An egg that is just carried will hatch after a short while; however, an egg that has "rotted" will not hatch and can safely be carried. An egg that is inside a container will not hatch; the ideal strategy is to keep them in the container until you are sure the hatching time has passed, and then test by picking up more than one egg. If they stack in your [[inventory]], they will not hatch.
