I was going to suggest this, but I'm not sure how many people would have gotten the reference, so I substituted the Deveels for Mercane.
D&D General My player did the bag of holding + portable hole thing and got sucked into the Astral Plane. Where is he?

Aren't those specifically not in the Astral Plane, since there's no aging there?

Unless the player has made it clear he was trying to kill his character permanently, definitely have him send up somewhere that he can be rescued or otherwise reunite with the rest of the party after a reasonable amount of time.
I'm partial to githyanki answers. I'd go find a copy of Fedifensor from Dragon Magazine and have him show up in the ruins of that castle. Just after seeing it mostly in ruins and maybe that there's some hostile monsters that have taken up residence inside, he looks out and sees a spelljamming vessel approaching ... and that's where you end the session.
Next session, see if the other players figure out a way to go after him, in which case, they can be on that vessel (or the vessel after that one, as the original is full of trouble of some sort that they will need to arrive and rescue the fighter from).
Alternately, if the other players are stumped, when you switch back to the fighter, it's someone friendly or neutral stopping by his desert island and he can start the work of getting home, with a few short side adventures on the way.

He didn't say it was a successful hatchery...

He ended up next to a color pool to the Material Plane, which sucked him in and deposited him three feet to the left of where he started.

It doesn't seem very likely that the githyanki, who are have gone native in the Astral Plane, would try to hatch eggs there. It would be like a farmer trying to sow wheat on a glacier.
exactly one hundred years from anywhere. After spending one hundred years traveling till he finds a portal to wherever you want him to go, Then roll or select 1d3 flaws from the insanity spell table and tell them to play them as part of thier character. time passes for the character but there are no effects. No aging anyway. no time passes for anyone on the prime material.

It says "random location", so you must randomize!
At the same time, astral travel is at the speed of thought (travel anywhere takes a "day" unless a psychic wind is encountered), so any location is merely flavor/color. What matters is what might be encountered nearby. Nevertheless, for flavor's sake, I might roll 1d10 to see if the character is near any of the outer planes, like so:

The character is ...
- near the LG planes
- near the NG plane
- near the CG planes
- near the CN plane
- near the CE planes
- near the NE plane
- near the LE planes
- near the LN plane
- in the middle of the Astral Sea

True. I'm not sure it is even possible for a Githyanki to deliver an egg on the Astral, unless it was done as a cesarean. I suppose it's possible for high ranking Githyanki who do not want their children to grow and become a liability, but also don't want to just dispose of them, to keep some eggs on the astral as a sort of permanent "I'll keep this until later, when it's militarily/politically viable." But I'm seriously overthinking it at this point.
