After you've gotten an egg you'll need use 10 to 12 torches depending on how cold it is
If you put down around 25 standing torches you can hatch deinonychus and wyverns.

If your near a Cliff with a flyer you can lead them of and get the egg safely
Best way to find the nests is to look for 3 or more in a group. The nests should be near by.
It spawns on the top middle of the fjord we map
Just Get a pteranodon, argy or a griffin and steal an egg and you got a jumping boy
I got 10 with a pt in less then 15 min
To steal eggs easy just take a high lvl argent and hang out with a spyglass on a high cliff which is inaccessible by most or all threats. Scout out nests with your spyglass and wait for the right moment (right moment being when the deinonychus are busy attacking something larger/something that will take a bit to kill) and swoop down, hop off your bird, snatch the egg, and fly as fast as you can back to your safe spot. You CAN NOT outrun these things with land mounts (unless you leveled the crap out of it's movement speed) so a flyer with high stamina and decent health and damage is the way to go. I got 8 eggs in about 20 mins using this strat. To hatch I built a stone room and placed 5 stone fireplaces inside.
Knock out deinos and steal egg,done
Just wait until they get distracted (they usually will) or lure them to another dino. Once they are distracted fly in, and make sure you land the bird close to you and snatch the eggs and fly off. You can then check what level it is while high up. :)
Use a horse to knock em out and get eggs ez and kill low levels for higher level eggs
To get one of these one the Nintendo Switch version, you will need to go to Genesis 2 and use commands to spawn the Gauntlet Mission variant (check Ark.wiki.gg Deinonychus page for the command) and use ForceTame on it. You will not be able to ride it even with a saddle, but you can use the command GetEgg while looking at it to acquire a fertilized normal deinonychus egg that you can hatch and use like a normal tame.
To "tame" a Deinonychus, you have 2 options.
Option 1. You will need strong creature, and nests. After you will find the nest you have To jumper off your creature, get egg and kill every deino, that will try To attack you. After getting every egg you could find, use Egg Incubator, or 5-7 air conditioners To hatch them (the like 90°C To start hatching).
Option 2. You will need fast creature, like a Pt, wyvern or griffin, and nests. You have To find nests, ten land near one, grab the egg, and run away. Better fly near the ground, over the Cliff, because deinos are stupid, and they will fellow you, no matter what.
Get a pt have a friend lure them far away or lure them away urself (your friend needs a pt to Unless he's got nothin on him) then grab an egg or two or three or all of them then go onto a nearby cliff so their nit agroed to you anymore then go to your base and hatch them then yay u now have fluffy raptor!
Snow owls work really well get a lv 30-40ish they're really quick so you can always get outta dodge make sure these guys are distracted (usually always distracted by something so it isn't too hard) and land right next to the egg, pick it up and fly outward don't fly directly up
You can farm eggs pretty easy by leaving render and coming back after about a minute or so! It's perfect if you have two egg spots about a minute apart.
