## Skill

Laying Egg

**TYPE:** Passive

**DESCRIPTION:** You lay Eggs on the ground [this can be on any block except ones in Drinkables, and the Sewage System]. You get 50 XP points for every Egg laid [isn't boosted by XP bonuses].

## Strategies & Tips

### As a Hen

* Start laying Eggs to get a decent amount of XP at first. This will be done passively each time you lay on the ground and your ability is ready. You won't be able to touch them, though.
	+ If there are no predators, you can sit in one spot and gain free XP, be aware of approaching predators though.
	+ You can hide in a Bush or go to an uncrowded area (even in crowded servers) and stay in one spot while laying Eggs, keeping them secretly there and, when you evolve thrice, you will be able to eat the Eggs you layed as a Red Bird.
* You can also try to go after Worms or Bread since they give more XP, but there's also more competition and you don't have the ability to instantly eat them like the Pigeon can.
* You may use your Eggs to bribe/convince other predators to not eat you or even help you. Predators will often go after the Eggs since they're a free meal rather than you. Don't do this to a reaper, though. Albeit the XP gained by killing you is rather small, they don't eat Eggs, so if they go for you, run!
	+ With that being said, it may be helpful to remember which animals can eat Eggs so you know which ones you can use Eggs as a distractor against.
* Your small size may allow you to get anywhere in the underground or the caves, but don't get too cocky, you are still blind below the surface and you are prey to several predators.
* You can lay your Eggs in a place people rarely go, such as the Demonic biome Underground or Space, then when you evolve into a Red Bird, you can quickly eat them to gain XP fast. If you decide to go into space, stick to a cosmic plant to lay them because your oxygen won't deplete and all your eggs will look like 1 Egg. Beware of Cosmic Bats, though. Because of this, you may choose to lay Eggs on the space islands' caves.
* The Hen is vulnerable to the Wasp, like the Pigeon and the Blue Bird, so it is advisable to avoid trees and flowers.
* Be specially careful when you are around a Demonic Imp or a Phoenix, as they can eat you but they can't eat the Eggs.
* When escaping from predators, there are some things to note:
	+ 1- Same notes as Blue Bird, except no Swoop.
	+ 2- On uncrowded servers, lay eggs somewhere egg predators can't find them / reach them (such as a cave in space where the Cosmic Bat cannot enter). on crowded ones... well, just lay randomly.
	+ 3- Go drink water because wasps could be near worms.
		- 3.5- Do not eat acorns. They give low XP (you can eat them if you want).
	+ 4- You have the same hitbox of a Pigeon. However, you may evolve accidentally due to your ability. Don't go to a narrow (1 block) vertical passage if your XP is high/there's a food that will let you evolve instantly.
	+ 5- Know who can and who can't eat eggs, or a Demonic Imp will likely chase you easily due to its small (1x1) hitbox.
* Eat Eggs by touching the ground; they give a decent amount of XP and can be eaten in 1-2 bites. Just be careful of any predator that may want to eat you, or that may be interested in the Eggs as well.

### As a predator of the Hen

* Use their ability to your advantage. If you can eat the Eggs, it may be worth keeping the Hen alive so you can eat more of them. Even if you can't eat the Eggs, you can at least follow the trail (Hens are forced to lay Eggs each time they lay on any surface, every 6 seconds) if the Hen you are hunting doesn't fly for long periods. Just take into account that if the trail is too long the Hen may have already evolved (given it gains 50 XP per Egg it lays).
* Its small size may make it difficult for you to attack them, especially if you are a Reaper, avoid them getting into the narrower caves you can't enter. However, if you are an animal with better vision in the underground, it may be profitable to force them getting into there where you have an advantage. Hens may also accidentally evolve into Parrots due to their ability, restricting their movement more.

## Trivia

* It's the first animal capable of gaining experience through creation and not eating/killing something existing and the third besides the Stork and the Turkey (their ability say they eat the animal they find).
* The **Hen** can also fit through The Fire Of Death, so there are now five animals that can fit, the Fly, the Bluebird, the Pigeon, the Cosmic Insect, and the **Hen**.
* It's currently the newest playable animal (last animal added into the game).
* It is one of the smallest animals.
* The Hen is one of the few animals in EvoWorld.io that also appears in Mope.io (called Chicken in mope.io), a similar .io game.
