Chicken Jockey

Chicken Jockeys are an extremely rare mob. They consist of a Baby Zombie riding a Chicken.

Behavior

 * Chicken Jockeys run around like Baby Zombies, instead of using the chicken AI.
 * Even though the Zombie AI is used, the chicken still randomly lays eggs.
 * Chicken Jockeys will not avoid bumping into walls that would potentially suffocate the Baby Zombie.
 * Chicken Jockeys do not take fall damage, as the chicken flaps his wings quickly, slowing the falling speed.
 * The chicken moves at the speed of the Baby Zombie, which is much faster than a normal chicken.
 * Chicken Jockeys can track the player over a very large distance.
 * Like Zombies, the Chicken Jockey will also track villagers.
 * Although a Chicken Jockeys hitbox is 3 blocks tall, the chicken can still run through 1 block high gaps. If the above block is solid, the Baby Zombie will take suffocation damage.
 * Chicken Jockeys can pick up/equip ground items.

Spawn
Zombies have a 0.05% chance (1 in 2000) of being a Chicken Jockey. Baby Zombie Pigmen can also rarely spawn riding a Chicken.

Chicken Jockeys may spawn with items equipped. Baby Zombie Pigmen versions of the Chicken Jockey will always have their Gold Sword equipped.

Trivia

 * If the player goes far enough away, the baby zombie despawns but the chicken does not, leaving a regular chicken behind.
 * The command to spawn a Chicken Jockey is /summon Zombie ~ ~ ~ {IsBaby:1,Riding:{id:Chicken}}
 * This is not exactly the same mob, but it is close, the real Chicken Jockey is positioned lower on the Chicken's back, which you can get by spawning a large number of zombies
 * The baby zombie's hitbox is larger than the chicken's.
 * Attacking the chicken may harm the zombie instead, unless the player carefully attacks its feet.
 * If the chicken moves too close to a wall two blocks high, the zombie half will take suffocation damage unless the upper block is transparent.
 * Since they can spawn in the Nether, eggs, feathers and raw chicken are renewable, without having to bring eggs from the Overworld.
 * When a Splash Potion of Harming is tossed at a Chicken Jockey, the Chicken dies, but the Baby Zombie gains some health. Vis-Versa, if a Splash Potion of Instant Health is thrown at a Chicken Jockey, the Chicken is healed, but the Baby Zombie dies. This makes healing them as a single mob very unlikely.
