The bug
Can't spawn baby variants of the adult mobs listed below, by right-clicking them with their spawn egg.
This works for all the other mobs that have a baby variant except for: Zombies, Zombie villagers, Drowned and Zombie Pigmen.

Can you update the MC-2871 then? and make me the Reporter, as it is a really old bug report that needs to be updated.
It's resolved as Invalid because it's a feature request. Only mobs that can be bred can be spawned via spawn eggs currently. Visit https://feedback.minecraft.net/ for feature requests.
Thank you for your report!
We're actually already tracking this issue in MC-2871, so I resolved and linked this ticket as a duplicate.
However, that ticket has already been resolved. Depending on the resolution, that can mean that it either will be fixed in the next version, or that it is not considered a bug and won't be fixed.
If you haven't already, you might like to make use of the search feature in the future to see if the issue has already been reported.
