Eggs of various types are being introduced in the next update, among them dragon eggs. Toady has been talking about what he's putting in the game here

'In' means their code, they get updates much, much more often.

In other words, it's in the next version to be released.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

The program you have on your hard drive doesn't magically update itself every time Toady makes a change to the version he's working on.  He's added it to the latest, most up to date version, but he doesn't instantly upload the new version every time he makes one change.

My question is, what do you do with them? I assume Chicken and stuff will will hatch, but how on earth do you hatch a dragon egg?

Probably has to sit on a hot tile (one above magma) for 3 years.

My question is, what do you do with them?

1. Embark on a Dragons lair.
2. Claim egg.
3. Watch one stupid brave dwarf run like hell (and pray he is running in the right direction).
4. Wait for goblin siege.
5. Throw egg at goblins (or shoot via catapult).
6. Watch angry dragon rip apart all goblins.
7. Laugh like crazy.

Demons are preferable to ravens.
A noble just suffered a genuine unfortunate accident.
Has that ever happened before?

Dragon eggs should be almost as hard as Dwarven bread.

Centration. Similar to Spacestation 13, but in 3D and first-person. Sounds damn awesome.
