Kairuku Egg — Detailed Guide
An egg from the Kairuku
The Kairuku Egg appears in both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. In game: "Tremendously nourishing by itself, this egg provides basic nutritional value in many cooking recipes." 
Kairukus drop these eggs at random, and our records list it on 7 maps. Be careful when you pick one up: wild Kairukus nearby turn hostile and attack.
Kibble and taming
The egg can be eaten, but its main value is 
Basic Kibble. The ARK Wiki names the creatures Basic Kibble tames: the 
Dilophosaur, 
Dodo, 
Gloon, Kairuku, 
Maeguana, 
Maewing, 
Mesopithecus, 
Parasaur and 
Phiomia.
Hatching a Kairuku
When two Kairukus mate, the fertilized egg hatches into a baby Kairuku after just over 1 hour 30 minutes. It needs a temperature between 22 and 30 °C (72 to 86 °F) and loses health outside that range. An 
Egg Incubator at the ideal temperature shortens incubation by up to 20%. After laying, a female needs between 18 hours and 2 days before she can lay again.
Weight and spoilage
An egg weighs 3 and they stack to 100, so a full stack weighs 300. It spoils after 8 days (192 hours).
