Can you get Dinosaurs in Stardew Valley?
The Dinosaur Egg is indeed an artifact that you can donate at the Museum. However, it's still an egg which you can actually place in your incubator. If you upgrade your coop, you'll eventually be able to get an incubator to hatch eggs. This includes a Dinosaur! It's better for you to hatch the dinosaur egg that you discover first since they can lay dinosaur eggs. Dinosaur eggs that you get extra can be donated to the museum, hatched for more dinosaurs, or you can turn it into Dinosaur Mayonnaise. Dinosaurs can live in the Big Coop alongside other animals such as Chickens and Ducks.
