Chicken (Minecraft)

Chickens are passive animal mobs that live throughout the Overworld.

Behavior
Chickens are slower than most mobs. One ability unique to chickens, is that they flap their wings when falling, safely floating down to the ground, and avoiding fall damage. Chicks also flap their wings to prevent death in water, while other baby mobs drown in water deeper than 2 blocks. Chickens will follow players who are holding Seeds. This is particularly useful when trying to corral them into a Fencedarea. Adult chickens will lay an Egg every 5–10 minutes. An egg will remain on the ground for quite some time after being laid by a chicken, allowing a player time to gather it before Despawning.
