A specially enchanted egg of this sort is always coated with oil of timelessness.

Although very old and quite vile smelling,
each such egg has the possibility of increasing the eater’s
intelligence or wisdom. However, an individual who consumes an egg
of reason must first make a saving throw versus poison - with no bonuses
whatsoever - or else the matter consumed will slay him or her.
The effect of this poison cannot be neutralized. If eating the egg does
not prove fatal, there is a possibility that the consumer will gain one
point of either intelligence (60% chance) or wisdom (40%). The
chance of successful enhancement is equal to the eater’s current
ability score (whichever applies), doubled and subtracted from 100.
Example: An egg which improves intelligence is eaten by a character
with an intelligence score of 17. The chance of successful enhancement
is 100 - (1 7 x 2) = 68%. Ability scores of 18 or higher are effectively
enhanced by only 1/10 point at a time
(cf. DMG p. 11, “The Effect of Wishes on Character Ability Scores”),
so that a character would have to successfully consume 10 eggs of reason (if, somehow, that
many were available) in order to raise an ability score from 1 8 to 19.
Racial limitations apply when determining how much an ability score
can be enhanced. If the oil of timelessness is removed from an egg of
reason before it is consumed, the egg will still have a chance of poisoning
the eater but will have lost its ability-enhancing property.
