The unusual egg tag is LAYS_UNUSUAL_EGGS:(item):(item subtype)

It wont read the 3rd part that defines which sort of vermin the game should use.

That is incorrect - the syntax is [LAYS_UNUSUAL_EGGS:item:material], where "item" is an item+subtype (e.g. WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_WHIP, THRONE:NONE, or VERMIN:NONE) and "material" is whatever the object is made of (e.g. INORGANIC:IRON, CREATURE_MAT:CAT:LEATHER, or "CREATURE_NAME:NONE" if you happen to be creating a vermin).

Technically it would be [LAYS_UNUSUAL_EGGS:<item>:<item subtype>:<material>:<material subtype>], wouldn't it?

Read my post more closely - "<item>:<item subtype>" is an 'item token' (since you will never see one without seeing the other) and "<material>:<material subtype>" is a 'material token' (which can easily be more than material:subtype - if you're using CREATURE_MAT or PLANT_MAT, there are a total of three parameters instead of 2).

I remember with older versions I had reactions for buildings spawn vermin that worked just fine, But maybe its just the fact that its being layed instead of produced in a building...

For reference, I've since done some reverse-engineering on the various item classes and have discovered two things:

1. When you create an object of type REMAINS, FISH, FISH_RAW, VERMIN, PET, or EGG, the material is supposed to be of the format RACE:CASTE (e.g. ANT:SOLDIER).
2. DF doesn't actually parse these correctly and instead uses a caste of NONE (-1), which means that any such items you create will not behave correctly.

So wait. That means that I can't have my egg layers lay fish? Durnit, here I wanted turtle ala turkey.
