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, ...

Feel free to use it in your modpack,
And let me know what do you think!
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?
In reply to binh3012:
yes
Ive Got A Goof With JEI
A Fatal Happens With This Mod And JEI
Feels Bad Man
So, am I right that breeding two chickens to create a new kind only sometimes works?
If that's the case, how do I tell which pairs of chickens will produce a new kind? Like- I breed a log chicken and a sand chicken, I get another log chicken. How do I tell if that means those kinds can't crossbreed, or if it just means I didn't get the new kind that time?
Does anyone have a list of what breeding combinations make new chickens?
AFAIK you can use JEI and look at the uses for each chicken to see its possible offspring, or go into the config for the mod and check it there.
Are there any options for modding the time it takes for a chicken to provide it's drop? ex: I want it to take 2-3 times as long for a chicken to produce a gold nugget. Is this possible or am I sol?
"Iron? Gold? DIAMODS? Just try it!"
ahh yes i love diamods
But seriously, this mod could be useful for skyblock. Going in my modpack.
I see you're working on an overhaul of spawning mechanics. Does that mean the mod will be more compatible with modded biomes like in Biomes O Plenty?
Thank you for all your hard work!
In reply to katubug:
should be compatible with a lot of modded biome's at least thats the idea.
In reply to GenDeathrow:
Okay! I must be unlucky then, haha. Thanks for your response!
In reply to katubug:
well the over haul hasn't made it into to a release.. but Biomes O Plenty should already be compatible.
