I feel like the Oviraptor should have a chance of dropping a random, unferilized egg. Obviously, things like giga eggs would be rarer.

Everyone needs to know and it is dev confirmed that Oviraptors DO NOT buff chances of mutations or twins or triplets. This is a long going myth that needs to be shut down. Any twins or triplets you are getting is purely coincidence. This was said by one of the devs on twitter!

Don't try to hold in a cage it will glitch out just fill it with wood or stone and place in wandering and it will give the egg laying buff but will not move

Tame a high level one and fly around the map with it close to the floor it will pick up all nearby eggs laid by untamed dinos

These guys can steal eggs without aggroing surrounding dinos! You can get easy wyvern and rock drake eggs! Put it in a cryo pod, sneak into a nest, pop it out of the pod and have it set to follow close, run to the other side of the nest and when it gets to the nest it will take the egg. Once it has the egg you can take the egg from it and there won't be any aggro. Just make sure you don't switch the egg out of your inventory because you'll get the aggro then. Rinse and repeat for super easy wyvern and rock drake eggs!

higher levels increase range. NOT melee

you do not need to increase weight, it will pick up all eggs in its range.

make sure it has food in the trough or it will eat eggs. and yes, it prefers the big eggs over the small when it gets hungry.

the egg buff does work. load with rocks and put on wander. works even better if using mated pair of oviraptors. but buff doesn’t stack.

Egg-stealing dinosaur was innocent,

THE rare discovery of a fossil embryo has cleared the name of a dinosaur

called “egg stealer”. Oviraptor, first discovered apparently making a meal of

another dinosaur’s eggs, was, it now turns out, simply trying to hatch its own

offspring.

In 1923, an expedition from the American Museum of Natural History in New

York found the first Oviraptor skeleton on a nest of eggs in the Mongolian

desert. The scientists thought the elongated eggs belonged to Protoceratops, a

plant-eating dinosaur whose fossils were common in the area. They chose the

name Oviraptor because they assumed the animal, a predator with sharp claws

and a parrot-like beak, was trying to eat the eggs when it was caught in a

sandstorm and died.

No one could confirm that a Protoceratops had definitely laid the eggs,

however. The contents of fossil eggs are hardly ever preserved. But in the

latest issue of the journal Science, a team of researchers from Mongolia and

the American Museum report on their discovery of a very similar egg containing

a tiny Oviraptor skeleton, almost ready to hatch. The egg was found 300

kilometres from the site of the 1923 excavations.

The 80-million-year-old embryo is the first found from the group of

dinosaurs related most closely to birds. Like birds, dinosaurs brooded their

young, says Mark Norell of the American Museum.

The same nest contained another curious find – the skulls of two tiny young

carnivores belonging to the same family as the velociraptors, best known as

the terrors of Jurassic Park. It is possible that these small carnivores were

raiding the nest. However, Norell says the absence of any other bones suggests

the skulls “were brought to the nest by adult [oviraptors] who had cleaned out

a Velociraptor nest” and like modern ospreys, brought their catch home to

eat

It eats raw meat once tamed,don't waist precious eggs on it

I feel like they should be able to steel magmasaurus and wyvern eggs without drawing their attention. Or maybe just collect eggs for us in our kibble farms.
