Question about dinosaur eggs

[WanderingWendaline]

Back when I first started playing Stardew Valley, I remember seeing a lot of things online saying that dinosaur eggs were extremely rare, but on my current farm I fished up at least 3 during my first spring, and my dog has given me 2.
So my question is, did the chances of getting a dinosaur egg increase with one of the more recent updates, and I just missed it?

You just had a lot of luck with the RNG. Sometimes you find several, other times you'd better go look for prehistoric floors in the Skull Cavern. I'm experiencing the latter case.

Just like the save I had where I had 3 meteor strikes before I could upgrade my pickaxe to gold, and I'm pretty good at reaching floor 80+ before Summer begins.

Massively lucky seed.

Took me till spring year 3 to find one on my current farm.

I managed to find one from the soil. I sent it to the Museum because I didn't have the coop with me at the time.

Man, I must be extra extra lucky, then. I had a similar experience on a couple other farms, so I thought for sure something must've changed. That's too bad people are still having trouble finding eggs :/

I didn't have a coop yet either when I found my first one. I just hoarded it since I didn't know when I'd find another. Little did I know...

Yes, they're very rare. You probably shouldn't trash them anymore :) When you find another you should hold onto it

Spoiler

That way you can hatch it later when you have an upgraded chicken coop

I have one save where I found six by year two with good luck from the RNG gods. My other save is year five and no Dino egg LOL.

Dinosaur eggs are valuable, no reason to trash them no matter how many you are lucky enough to find. It really does depend on the individual game seed. Sometimes items that are normally fairly common refuse to turn up on one seed or another, while other rare items are ridiculously common. Like, on my current seed I found 10 prismatic shards in the first couple of years. But I absolutely CANNOT find a prehistoric scapula anywhere.

I legitimately cannot find an ostrich egg in my friend's world, not even in the guaranteed place, she didn't donate it, didn't sell it, and didn't incubate it, it's legit non existence, where as in my save, i found like 6 in the volcano randomly, I've always had trouble with dino eggs, cause the skull caverns are scary, and I was terrible at fishing, the RNG gods are fickle, and your luck will not always allow for lack of skill, treasure your future baby dinos, i beg of you.. while you still can
