When using the /give command to create spawn eggs for villagers or any other animal, all I get is the generic white "Spawn" egg.

Example: (for villager)
/give [my player name] minecraft:spawn_egg 64 120

When I load an older game where I have multiple types of spawn eggs in my inventory they all work as expected, but using /give only gives the generic eggs, even in the older world. I tried this under all Difficulty modes.

The /give command works fine for other objects, it appears only spawn eggs are affected.
