Talk:Chicken

Anywhere grass?
Since chickens spawn at an 1/8 rate when you throw an egg at a grass tile, does that mean they can spawn anywhere at grass when an egg is thrown?

You can throw eggs to spawn chickens anywhere, but I'm not sure about slabs/glass. Troagador 20:23, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Hates Pits
Chickens seem to hate being stuck in a pit. An example would be this video (specifically from 1:35 to 1:42), in which it seems as though the troop of chickens were racing to get out of the pit. I've also seen this behavior in a couple of other post-Beta Youtube videos. I also tried this in my own game. However, I don't know if it applies to any other mobs. --Myuzi 00:20, 26 December 2010 (CST)

I have a death hole type set up, with a small hole for some redstone to get through. It seems to me that the chickens landing in the death pit are anxious to go through this 1 block whole to get to the more expansion cavern for wiring, but I've not really seen enough of this to confirm anyting.

Timer?
Im trying to farm eggs but my chickens keep vanishing. I am not sure if this is on a timer or what. Could this possibly be El Chupacabra? haha =P Anyone know if ther is a timer on farm or passive animals?

i think it has something to do with FPS,like redstone ticks.it works great on servers tho
