Chickens lay eggs. Sometimes drop feather. You can throw eggs. That's it. SO BOOORING! Minecraft is a magical place so why not to add a little bit of magic? Chicken laying gunpowder... bonemeal... snowballs... YEAH! And what if you try to crossbreed them? Iron? Gold? DIAMODS? Just try it!
Features:
- ¨breed chickens to increase theirs stats: growth, gain and strength to rapidly increase your production
- inspect chickens with chicken analzer (an egg + a compass) to identify their stats and to get additional information
- dye chickens, combine an ordinary egg with a dye and throw what you get to obtain a chicken laying dye: Lapis Lazuli Chicken, Cactus Green Chicken, Rose Red Chicken, Bone Meal Chicken... you can breed them for gray, pink, etc.
- tier 1 chickens that are naturally spawning in the world: Flint Chicken, Snowball Chicken, Gunpowder Chicken, Nether Quartz Chicken, Lava Chicken
- get higher tier chickens by crossbreeding them and have Diamond Chicken, Ghast Tear Chicken and many many more!
- henhouse: provide hay bales and it will collect chicken 'products' in 9x9 area (4 blocks on each its side) for you, it will also produce dirt over time as a side effect ;]
- smart chicken: give a vanilla chicken a book and it will become smart enough to use henhouse ;]
- progressive breeding and laying system
- lava and water eggs: get your renewable and stackable liquid source today!
- heavily customisable: change laying rates, items, disable chickens, modify breeding, set drops, ...
- mod chickens are less noisy
Best with:
- More Chickens by GenDeathrow
- Hatchery by GenDeathrow
Mod support:
- JEI: breeding and laying recipes
- WAILA: showing chicken tiers

Any plans on updating to 1.14?
In reply to Frozen_Photon:
forge 1.14 still hasn't gotten everything up to date yet. I have been working with it, but some things cant be added yet.
where can i find the id names for the starter eggs. im trying to make them craftable instead of spawning in the world im using craft tweaker to change it.

This isn't the place to post code/craftweaker jsons. Since this is craftweaker I would ask them. But craftweaker has a command ingame that gives you id's of items. You also need the nbt data on the egg it self. Its not just the id.
In reply to GenDeathrow:
the code was only to show what im talking about nothing more. the name id for the specific eggs is directly connected to the mod it self. not crafttweaker. im not looking for the number id those i know change. im looking for what you call in in the mod. as in the example chickens:spawn_egg should be something like flint egg or what not. i can not find reference to that name anywhere
In reply to heisenberg1151:
It just makes things look cluttered on this page, best practice is a line or two, or go to the mod's github/bitbucket repo to post in the issue tracker with gist or pastebin. Its just to keep the comments page from looking massive. Also your trying to do what skyfactory did, which used my 'Hatchery' mod to create the eggs for the none color chickens. Hatchery stores an entity inside the egg. There aren't these eggs in the 'Chickens' mod. You can easily look in skyfactory's scripts to understand how to do it. Cause I have no clue how to use craft tweaker. Only reason I didn't say this before is cause I actually thought I was responding on Hatchery page earlier.
In reply to GenDeathrow:
ok that made much more sense i did not know that hatchery change the way the eggs where seen by the game. what i did is just added parents to the world spawn chickens using the colored eggs thanks for the help tho
Absolutely brilliant mod
Simple question 0 how hard would it be to create a chicken that lays dirt - plain and simple good old fashioned dirt
i am doing a largish terraforming operation and need a LOT

In reply to captain_kaos_86124:
you can just change it in configs.. but my other mod "More chickens" has a grass chicken.. but you have to feed a chicken a grass block.. which means you need silk touch.
I just had a bug in 1.12.2, a nether wart chicken and a glowstone chicken gave me a glass chicken. I have no other mod that could have caused any problem.
i'm having a hard time finding log/flint/sand chickens. is there a way to boost there spawn rates up?
Any plans to update this for 1.14?
how do i change it from not carrying the high levels over cross breeding to make it carry over and vice versa?
A few questions:
1) I posted about this on github but never received a response: Is there a way to change the drops from Diamond and Emerald chickens? I've edited the config but my changes don't seem to work.
2) Is the breeding time linked to Lay_Coefficient? I also asked this on github, no luck. I would like to increase production time without increasing the breeding time.
In reply to monsterpants:
I responded on github sorry for late response. Also lay_coeffiecient only affects item production.
In reply to GenDeathrow:
It's fine! I know how irl stuff can go, and it should definitely take precedence. I appreciate you getting back to me!
And thank you! We were having some issues with chicken breeding times increasing when I edited the lay coefficient, but now that I think about it, that's probably an issue with Roost rather than with your mod in specific. I'll ask over there!
I play with Biome's O'Plenty, and that mod adds blue and black dye. Can i make the chickens drop those instead of lapis and ink sacks?
In reply to GoldenGod48:
You should be able to change the drops of any chickens in the config files. Simply get the item name for the dyes you want and replace the default "lay item" and "drop item" to what you'd like them to produce.
Can I install Chickens mod without Hatchery and More Chickens?

yes
