Eggs

Eggs can be found throughout both Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5, usually dropped by snakes or chickens.

There are four different types of eggs: Gold, White, Brown and Rotten. White eggs are the most common, then Brown, then Gold and Rotten.

In-game, eggs can either be eaten for health recovery or thrown at the enemy. Gold eggs are the most sought after as they fully restore the player's health when eaten. Gold, White, or Brown eggs have a chance of stunning an enemy when thrown at them, though being hit with a Rotten egg will make a Majini drop dead no matter how much health they have. Killing a Majini this way unlocks the "Egg on your Face" achievement/trophy. (15G for the Xbox 360 or a Bronze for the PlayStation 3).

Egg Values
Eggs in Resident Evil 5 vary in value, with Rotten Eggs selling for highest, and White Eggs selling for lowest.
 * Rotten Egg - N 2,000

Trivia

 * Unlike Resident Evil 5, RE4 has no rotten eggs, only White, Brown and Gold.
 * Eating a rotten egg will cause a player to lose a large amount of health; on the harder difficulties, the amount lost is enough to require resuscitation.
 * In RE5, throwing a rotten egg at Majini will kill them in one hit, exceptions are bosses, but they will receive high damage.
 * In RE4, eggs are nowhere close to deadly, but if thrown at a ganado that is jumping over a body of water (ex. the dam in chapter 2) they will fall in, this is good for saving ammo. If you hit a Ganado in the face, they will act as if they were shot in the face, and you can kick them.
 * In RE5, the "rotten egg glitch" (both systems work), is when one player gives a rotten egg via online play. The person who received the egg can quit the game and save. The person who gave the egg cannot. You can keep doing this to get all your inventory spaces filled. Once sold, all of your rotten eggs should give you 90,000 money in return.
 * If a Majini is killed by an egg, he or she won't spout a plaga, no matter what.
 * In Resident Evil 4, a player can break the eggs if they'll shoot or hit them with a knife.
