This article is about the live animal. For its raw meat, see Raw Chicken. For its cooked meat, see Cooked Chicken.

Chickens (sometimes called Ducks[1]) are passive mobs found in Minecraft. Chickens supply feathers, raw chicken and chicken eggs, essential for arrows, food and cakes, respectively. Chickens are 0.875 blocks tall, 0.5 blocks wide and 0.8125 blocks long. A thrown egg has a 1 in 8 chance of hatching a chick, and a 1 in 256 chance of hatching 4 chicks at once.

Appearance

Chickens have white feathers and wings, yellow beaks, webbed feet and red wattles.

Behavior

Chickens appear to wander around aimlessly, but actually have decent path-finding ability. They will make no attempt to stay out of water. Chickens are drawn to light in a dark environment, and will follow the player if the player is holding wheat (seeds in 12w36a and beyond) (see Breeding).

When a chicken falls from a height, it quickly flaps its wings and falls slowly to the ground to prevent fall damage. They will also flap their wings in water to keep above the surface. Chickens will not climb up a ladder, but may be pushed up by the player.

While active a chicken will lay an egg every 5–10 minutes (6000 to 12000 ticks). In one experiment, it took 40 minutes for 9 chickens to lay 50 eggs (on average, 7.2 minutes/egg per chicken), and in another experiment 20 chickens lay 81 eggs in 30min (on average 7.4 minutes/egg per chicken). Baby Chickens will follow adults, regardless of whether the adults are their parents or not.

Breeding

Main article: Breeding

Chickens can be hatched by throwing chicken eggs, allowing them to be easily bred. Each egg has a 1/8th chance of hatching a chick and a 1/256th chance of hatching 4 chicks. This means that 5 stacks of eggs (80 total) will produce an average of 11 chicks.

Chicks move faster than adults. They take an average of 20 minutes to grow into adults. They do not lay eggs and will not drop resources if killed. Chicks will follow their parents or other adult chickens until they grow into an adult.

Adult chickens lay an egg every 7.5 minutes, so it takes an average of 55 minutes to produce a chick by collecting and throwing the eggs of a single chicken. Doing this continuously with a large number of chickens (several dozen) will double the population roughly every hour.

Chickens can also be bred by feeding them wheat. You need to feed 2 adult chickens to breed. The parent chickens will have a delay of five minutes until they can breed again. Newborn chicks will follow their parents (or a nearby adult if hatched from an egg).

It is possible to herd chickens along with any other animal if you simply walk by a chicken while holding wheat. The chicken will follow you wherever you go. You can do this to lead animals into fenced areas for easy breeding. This will still work when you're in a boat, if you're careful not to outrun them—this is an alternate means to lead a seed group long distances.

In an experiment breeding chickens with wheat every 5min and throwing all eggs 2 chickens became 5 chickens + 8 chicks after 30min and 18 wheat, and eventually 19 chickens + 18 chicks after 60min and 74 wheat.

Farming

The player can farm chickens quite easily by making chickens breed, and breaking their eggs, in a safe, enclosed area. Making a chicken colony is greatly beneficial to the player, for it gives an unlimited supply of feathers, raw chicken and chicken eggs. Unlike with other animals, a chicken farm can be started with a single chicken, but as noted above, it will take an average of five game days to produce a second adult chicken by breaking the eggs of the first. Once you have a pair, you can breed them with wheat every five minutes, hopefully getting your next pair of adults within 2 game days (30 minutes), with another three or four chicks growing. Assuming all eggs are collected (as loose items, they do vanish after the usual 5 minutes), a flock of chickens can add or replace a quarter of their adult number every game day. Breeding them with wheat can be much faster, potentially producing a chick and a half for each adult, each game day (but costing 2 wheat for each chick).

Fully automatic egg farms are also possible, since live chickens drop eggs periodically. The usual method is to place the chickens in a pool of water held up by signs so that their eggs will fall through the water into a collection area.

You can also build an automated hatchery by placing 3 dispensers around a block, trapping a Snow Golem on the block, placing a pressure plate under it, and loading the dispenser with eggs. The golem triggers the plate over and over again, causing the dispensers to fire the eggs, which may hatch.

'''Cooked salmon''' is a [[food]] item obtained by cooking [[raw salmon]].

== Obtaining ==

=== Mob loot ===

====Salmon====
[[Salmon]] always drops 1 raw salmon when killed, unaffected by Looting.<ref>{{bug|MC-212795||Salmon & Fish mobs are not affected by Looting}}</ref> If it is killed while on [[fire]], it drops 1 [[Cooked Salmon|cooked salmon]] instead.
====Guardians and elder guardians====
[[Guardian|Guardians]] and [[Elder Guardian|elder guardians]] have a 2.5% chance to drop a random fish, with 25% of them being raw salmon, which drops as cooked if the guardian was on fire. The chance of getting the fish drop is increased by 1% per level with [[Looting]] (for a maximum of 5.5% with Looting III), but the type of fish is not affected.
====Polar bears ====
[[Polar bear]]s have a 25% chance of dropping 0–2 raw salmon when killed. The maximum amount can be increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0-5 with Looting III. If killed while on fire, they drop cooked salmon instead.
=== Cooking ===

Cooked salmon can be obtained by cooking raw salmon in a [[furnace]], [[smoker]], or on a [[campfire]]. Each piece of cooked salmon removed from a furnace output slot gives 0.35 [[experience]] (22.4 experience per stack).

{{smelting|Raw Salmon|Cooked Salmon|0,35}}

=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|cooked-salmon}}

=== Trading ===

Apprentice-level fishermen villagers have a 50%{{only|bedrock}} or {{frac|2|3}}{{only|java}} chance to sell 6 cooked salmon for 6 raw salmon and an [[emerald]].

== Usage ==

=== Food ===

To eat cooked salmon, press and hold {{control|use}} while it is selected in the hotbar. Eating one restores {{hunger|6}} and 9.6 [[Hunger#Mechanics|saturation]], the same as [[cooked mutton]].

=== Wolves ===

{{IN|Bedrock}}, cooked salmon can be fed to [[wolves]] only if they are not at full health, healing them by {{hp|6|mob=1}}. Cooked salmon does not accelerate the growth of baby wolves and cannot be used to [[breed]] them.

'''Kelp''' is an underwater plant that generates in most [[ocean]]s.

== Obtaining ==

=== Natural generation ===

Kelp naturally generates in any [[ocean]] [[biome]]s (except in [[Frozen Ocean|frozen]], [[Deep Frozen Ocean|deep frozen]] and [[Warm Ocean|warm]]), near and around [[seagrass]]. Each chunk has {{frac|1|18}} chance to generate a [[vegetation]] of kelp.

=== Breaking ===

Kelp can be mined instantly with any [[tool]] or with the player's fist. Removing water from the kelp block destroys the kelp. Breaking one part of a kelp stalk destroys all kelp [[block]]s above it. Each block drops a kelp [[item (entity)|item]].

=== Trading ===

Kelp can be bought from [[wandering trader]]s for 3 emeralds.

== Usage ==

Kelp can be placed underwater by hand, or anywhere by the use of [[commands]] such as {{cmd|setblock}}. Placing it by hand gives it a random {{code|age}} value between 0 and 24. Kelp can be placed only in [[water]] source blocks or downward-flowing water, not horizontally flowing water.

When placed in downward-flowing water, the flowing water transforms into a water source block,<ref>{{bug|MC-134229}}</ref> which is useful for faster [[bubble column]] elevator creation.

Any building block can be placed on top of a kelp plant, which is useful for building structures over a deep ocean without needing to build from the ocean floor (see also [[lily pad]]).

=== Cooking ingredient ===

{{smelting
| showname = 1
| Kelp
| Dried Kelp
| 0.1
}}

=== Composting ===

Placing kelp into a [[composter]] has a 30% chance of raising the compost level by 1.

=== Growth mechanics ===

Kelp can be planted on a broad variety of blocks. It grows underwater if it has either a source block of water or, {{in|Java}}, flowing water above it.<ref>{{bug|MC-133354}}</ref> Neither [[player]]s nor [[dispenser]]s can remove the water source block that kelp grows in without breaking the kelp first.

Kelp does not require any [[light]] level to grow. Kelp also grows without having [[sky]] access. [[Bone meal]] can be used to grow kelp by 1 block on each use.

Kelp, when planted, is generated with a randomly chosen age value, which can be checked when pressing [[Debug screen|<kbd>F3</kbd>]]{{only|java}}. The age value of a newly planted kelp plant varies randomly from 0 to 24. Each time the kelp grows in height by one block, the newly generated top of the kelp plant increases its age by 1. When the top block of the kelp plant reaches an age of 25, it stops growing. This means that kelp can naturally grow to a height between 2 (if the first kelp plant had an age of 24) and 26 blocks (if the first kelp plant had an age of 0). 

When a kelp plant block is broken, the age of the kelp plant block underneath is randomized to a value from 0 to 24 and the kelp continues growing until it reaches age 25. It is possible to use this mechanic to cultivate a kelp plant to increase its growth height beyond its natural maximum height of 26 blocks. This can be done by breaking the top-most block of the kelp plant each time it reaches age 25. A kelp plant cultivated by a player in this way repeatedly grows until it reaches the water surface.

Each time it receives a [[random tick]], kelp has a 14% chance of growing.

If [[shears]] are used on the topmost block of kelp, that block automatically sets its {{cd|age}} value to {{cd|25}} and stop growing.{{only|JE}}

=== Farming ===
{{Main|Tutorials/Kelp farming}}
Kelp farming is similar to farming [[sugar cane]], although kelp must be placed underwater. Automation of harvest is easier because items float up in water.

== Trivia ==
* In real life, [[wikipedia:kelp|kelp]] is not considered a [[wikipedia:plant|plant]]. It is classified by scientists as a [[wikipedia:Brown algae|brown algae]].
** Kelp in real life absorbs nutrients directly from the water, instead of through its root-like structure, [[wikipedia:Holdfast (biology)|holdfast]], which merely attaches it to the seabed. This is in accordance with kelp being able to grow on almost any solid block in ''Minecraft''.

A '''pitcher pod''' is an ancient bulbous seed that has a chance to be dropped by [[Sniffer|sniffers]] when they finish digging. It is the seed for [[Pitcher Plant]]s.

== Obtaining ==
[[Sniffer]]s occasionally bury their nose in the ground and start digging. Once the sniffer has finished digging, one pitcher pod has a chance to be dropped on the floor as an item.

Sniffers can only dig for pitcher pods in the following blocks:
*{{BlockLink|Dirt}}
*{{BlockLink|Grass Block}}
*{{BlockLink|Podzol}}
*{{BlockLink|Coarse Dirt}}
*{{BlockLink|Rooted Dirt}}
*{{BlockLink|Moss Block}}
*{{BlockLink|Mud}}
*{{BlockLink|Muddy Mangrove Roots}}
They cannot dig for pitcher pods on [[mycelium]].<ref>{{bug|MC-260259||Sniffers cannot dig nor find seeds on mycelium|WAI}}</ref>

== Usage ==
=== Pitcher Crop ===
{{main|Tutorials/Crop farming|title1=Pitcher Crop Farming}}
Pitcher pods can be placed on [[farmland]] by {{ctrl|using}}, where they grow through three stages as a '''pitcher crop'''.

Breaking the crop before it matures drops the pitcher pod, while breaking the final stage produces a [[pitcher plant]] and does ''not'' yield the pod. Pitcher crops break if pushed by a [[piston]] or if their supporting farmland breaks or turns to dirt (i.e. by being trampled), dropping their usual drops.

Farmer [[villager]]s can plant pitcher pods, but cannot harvest them once they have fully grown.<ref>{{bug|MC-263382|||WAI}}</ref>

=== Feeding ===
Pitcher pods can be used to breed [[chicken]]s and reduce the remaining growth duration of and chicks by 10%.

=== Taming ===
Pitcher pods can be used to tame [[parrot]]s.

Trivia

  • When a chicken is killed and has a boost from the hit or is thrown over a cliff by the hit, the "corpse" will also fall more slowly than normal, and the wings will still make a flapping animation.
  • When a chicken is riding a minecart, it is impossible to attack the chicken rather than the cart as it is completely within the hitbox of the cart.
  • Chickens are the only Overworld mob (without the use of hacks/inventory editors) that can be spawned in the Nether in Survival mode, by hatching them from throwing chicken eggs.
  • Chickens are sometimes mistaken for ducks due to their wide beaks and ability to swim.
    • Probably inspired by this, Notch tweeted that he changed the chickens to ducks a few weeks before the end of Beta,[2] causing a turmoil on Twitter. A few days later, Jeb, still getting feedback on the idea, stated that it was just a joke.[3]
  • If you throw chicken eggs at glass panes, there is a small chance that the Chicken will spawn on the other side of the panes, also with iron bars.
  • Despite being an animal that does not give live birth, chickens in-game are able to give live birth.
  • Chicks can be lured by wheat. As of 12w36a, seeds are used instead of wheat.
  • There is no texture for the underside of a chicken's head, allowing you to see through it and see the inside.
  • Ocelots will attack chickens.
  • Studies show that chickens are the quickest at getting out of traps or structures when there is an opening, also with iron bars. [citation needed]
  • Chickens may lay eggs while dying. [citation needed]
  • Chickens seem to be drawn to cauldrons, though this is not proven programming. [citation needed]

Notes

  1. Many players find the noise generated by any form of chicken farm annoying, so it may be desirable to build chicken farms at least sixteen blocks away from frequently-used areas.
