Even though on the wiki it says its a small egg type that makes simple kibble, the regular egg will NOT make kibble. The reason for this is that if you cook the egg without the other ongredients it turns into oil. This mechanic overlaps with the new kibble system and as such, it turns into oil before if can become kibble.
Can use their eggs to make oil in cooker. Tame a bunch of females and a male to have a passive oil farm. Plus use a female to kill 5 fish and have a chance at getting a golden egg which you can give to yourself or your tames for an xp buff. Big creatures dont receive as much of an xp bonus. Golden eggs can be used for extraordinary kibble but I personally just use yutys for that
I know im abit late on giving advice on this game but just started playing it. Anyhow... these still go after dead fish and still lay eggs but the fish need to be in water. Ive been experimenting as i have just tamed my first along with my first ichthyornis.
Stand in water
Use hunt and retrieve on your ichthyornis
Get your Hesperornis to eat the fish and get golden eggs.
Saves swimming about everywhere trying to find fish then aiming at it to send your Hesperornis
