Chickens witch it
It is theoretically possible for a stack of 16 eggs to yield 64 chickens, if all spawn chances succeed for all eggs. If a chick spawns from a thrown egg, there is a further 1⁄ 32 chance (overall 1⁄ 256 per egg) to spawn 3 extra chicks. Chickens lay eggs at random, and an egg thrown at the ground has a 1⁄ 8 chance of spawning a chick.

While in a loaded chunk, a chicken lays an egg every 5–10 minutes (6000–12000 ticks), unless it is, or was, a part of a chicken jockey. Chickens follow players holding various seeds within 6 blocks. They are attacked by ocelots, untamed cats, and foxes. Chickens uniquely attempt to jump up to climb stairs instead of climbing them normally. When falling, they flap their wings and fall slowly, thus they are immune to fall damage. Killing a baby chicken yields no items or experience.Ĭhickens are active, wandering aimlessly, chicks also following adults. 1–3 when killed by a player or tamed wolf ( 10 if it was part of a chicken jockey).Ĭhickens that were not part of chicken jockeys lay 1 egg every 5 to 10 minutes.The maximum is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 1–4 with Looting III. 1 raw chicken (1 cooked chicken if killed while on fire).The maximum is increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0–5 with Looting III. When an adult chicken is killed, it drops:
