Frequently asked questions

Why aren't my eggs hatching into chickens?
By default, eggs only hatch when they are sitting on a hay block, so check that first. Also make sure the egg is actually despawning naturally rather than being picked up or destroyed, and that there aren't already too many chickens nearby.
How long does an egg have to sit before it hatches?
An egg hatches right before it despawns, which happens after the standard despawn timer of about 5 minutes (6000 ticks). You don't need to do anything during that time except leave the egg alone.
Do eggs need to be on hay to hatch?
Yes, by default the mod only lets eggs hatch if they're sitting on a hay block. This is intentional to prevent uncontrolled chicken populations, but it can be changed in the config.
How do I make eggs hatch on any block instead of just hay?
Open the mod's config file and look for the setting that restricts hatching to hay blocks, then disable or change it. Once that restriction is off, eggs on other blocks can hatch too.
