This is a port of setycz Chickens mod for Minecraft 1.12.2, While porting the Mod we also decided to merge some features from timrwood's Roost mod.

We also have some other plans for adding more content to this mod and will be continually developing the mod.

Features:

- ¨breed chickens to increase their stats: growth, gain, and strength to rapidly increase your production

- inspect chickens with a chicken analyzer (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 a 9x9 area (4 blocks on each 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 customizable: change laying rates, items, disable chickens, modify breeding, set drops, ...

- mod chickens are less noisy

Features from Roost:

- Craft a chicken catcher with an egg, a stick, and a feather. Use the catcher on a chicken to capture it and add it to your inventory.

- When a chicken is in a roost, all the items they drop will stay in the roost. Up to 16 chickens can be held in a single roost.

- When there are 2 chickens in a breeder, they will close the privacy curtains and start to breed. The breeder can hold 64 seeds and will use 2 seeds each time the chickens breed.
