In Minecraft, hens only eat seeds. If you bring them something else to eat, you can't talk to them. No matter what seed you use, chickens can eat it.
Wheat, pumpkin, melon, and beetroot seeds are all fine. If you give them these, they will get better, and if they are healthy enough, they will be ready to breed.
How Do I Get The Melon Seeds in Minecraft?
People often grow melons in their yards and the jungle. If these plants don't get enough light, they might not grow all the way and drop 0–2 melon seeds.
Like the other items on this list, these seeds can be used to make more chicken farms by breeding chickens.
Melon seeds can also be found in mineshaft chests or dungeon chests that have been left empty.
Where Can You Get Beetroot Seeds in Minecraft?
Beetroot is a crop that often grows on farms in villages or chests in end cities. Beetroot seeds can be found in dungeon chests or can be broken off or mined from beetroot plants.
You can also get them by using a hoe on grass, but this only works 1/16 of the time, or 0.0625% of the time.
Where Does Chicken spawn In Minecraft?
In the Overworld, chickens appear in groups of four on grass blocks with two empty blocks above them and a light level of 9 or more.
They don't spawn in deserts, snowy plains, ice spikes, snowy slopes, meadows, wooded badlands, jagged peaks, frozen peaks, or stony peaks.
How Can I Breed Chickens In Minecraft?
When two adult chickens are fed wheat seeds, beetroot seeds, melon seeds, or pumpkin seeds, a baby chicken, or chick, is born. After that, they can't breed for 5 minutes. Players can also breed horses in Minecraft.
Chicks take 20 minutes to grow up, but every time they eat seeds, they grow 10% faster.
Chicks are smaller than a half-block and can squeeze through spaces smaller than a full block, but they don't walk through half-block tall spaces.
In Minecraft, How High Can a Chicken jump?
Chickens can jump as high as one block. They can't jump over fences that are more than 1.5 blocks high.
A chicken can fall from the sky and land safely on bedrock because they don't get hurt when they fall.
Could we maybe bring back trapdoor fences meaning make mobs not being able to jump over trapdoors when the trap door is facing upwards for an example I made a chicken coop but I use trapdoors for the fences and it just looked different to the normal fence

I was hoping it was a temporary bug with seeing them recently able to hop over fences made with trapdoors. While I understand the logic of passive animal mobs being able to get over trap doors, I thought it was a very useful and cool feature for farms I've used trapdoors to keep chickens and rabbits from being able to escape. I will be greatly disappointed if trapdoors can no longer contain animal mobs. :(
Animals in an open setting may be difficult to breed. Because of this, most players find it easier to construct fences for animals to stay. Even a medium-size pasture can result in animals neglecting to notice one another in love mode. Animals will spawn in the same square as their parent. It should be noted, however, that if they are in the same square as a fence, glass pane, or other item that takes up only part of a square, offspring may spawn in or on the other side of the block.
Ranch usage[]
Pigs, chickens, cows, sheep, rabbits, and mooshrooms can all provide food when killed. This food will be cooked if they are on fire at the time of death. However, if they are killed by the fire itself, rather than the player, they may not drop experience orbs. Additionally, the player gains no experience for cooking the meat in this manner, as they normally do when cooking in a furnace. In addition to dropping food, certain animals drop other things as well:
- Cows additionally drop leather. Both cows and mooshrooms can be milked: cows can be milked with a bucket for milk, and mooshrooms can be "milked" using a bowl to get mushroom stew. Mooshrooms can also be sheared for 3–5 red mushrooms, although this will turn them into normal Cows.
- Chickens additionally drop feathers. Eggs can be harvested from chicken farms, and can be used in addition to chicken breeding to speed population growth, as they have a 1⁄8th chance of producing (at least one) baby chicken when thrown.
- Sheep drop one wool when killed, but it is more productive to shear them, as they drop 1–3 wool. One dye can be used to color their wool before shearing or breeding, which is more efficient than dying the single wool after shearing. Dyed sheep produce offspring of their current color; if the two sheep are different colors, the color of the baby sheep will be a mix of its parent's colors. Ex: blue + white = light blue sheep
- Rabbits may drop rabbit hide upon death, which can be used to create leather if you are short on cows. They also have a small chance of dropping rabbit's foot, which can be used to make a Potion of leaping.
As an overall, ranching is a better way to farm animals than battery farming, because it makes the maxEntityCramming gamerule almost irrelevant.
Designs[]
Example of the fence gates and pressure plate entrance.
Example of nether brick fence entrance stopping animals from passing.
Example of using wheat to bring a cow to the player.
The basic design for a ranch is an enclosure made of fences, with a fence gate for an entrance. However, when farming animals, it may be difficult to keep all animals in the farm, yet still allow you to get in and out of the farm. There are several ways to handle this:
Can chickens jump over fences?
Fear not. Chickens can jump, fly or hop further than most people think, but there are plenty of ways to keep them under control.How do you stop chickens from escaping in Minecraft?
Single-height wooden fences (or a small cave) will suffice, but either way it's best to add an "entry lock": a fenced space with gates leading both to the pen and to outside. This will help prevent escapees - if one of the gates is always closed, the chickens' pathfinding will never see an escape route to the outside.What animals can jump over fences in Minecraft?
Overview. Fences have a 1.5 block tall hitbox, meaning they cannot be jumped over by a player or mob, unless the mob is a horse, has Jump Boost, or is standing on a slab.
