Porting eggs is boring work and it's up to each egg author to port his own eggs so this is a bit of a slow process. Sometimes others can or will port eggs and ask the original author for approval, but you'll understand that will only happen when a user really needs the egg or already has some experience hacking it. Back when 4.0.0 was soon-to-be-released we created a page listing all the eggs and their status for porting: http://chicken.wiki.br/hygienic-egg-port-a-mania I've tried to keep this as up-to-date as possible, but maybe one or two eggs are missing. The idea was also to shake off any "deprecated" and "useless" eggs. This would happen because eggs would be ported "by need", the idea being that if someone needed an egg badly enough he would port it. If one of your favorite eggs is not yet ported and you can't port it yourself, please harass the author enough until he ports it :) > The plethora of eggs is one of Chicken's major strengths.
