Chicken (Minecraft)

Chickens are common in grassy biomes, and are the main source of chicken, feathers, and eggs.

Grass blocks
Chickens spawn naturally in the over world in groups of four on grass blocks. With 2 blocks of free space above it at a light level of 9 or more. Chickens are more common in jungle hills, jungle edges and modified jungle edges.[JE only] After the world generation, they spawn Individually.

5% of chickens spawn as chicks.

Behavior
Chickens are very active, they can wander around on idle. Baby chicks follow the adults. Chickens flee for a few seconds when harmed/attacked. They have 4 health points. They are also immune to fall damage by flapping their wings when falling down. They also avoid falling off cliffs.

They can also swim on the surface of water by flapping their wings, just like what they do when falling.

Drops
When Chickens die, they drop:

Feathers

Raw Chicken

Eggs
After wandering for a few minutes, Chickens randomly lay eggs. The eggs can hatch into chicks when the player throws the egg at the grass panes.
