chicken farm

Build Details

Through very little work, my automatic and extremely efficient Minecraft chicken farm produces cooked chicken and feathers. The farm, that was constructed with redstone and hoppers, gathers eggs from a flock of laying hens and uses a dispenser to automatically dispense them into a cooking chamber. Upon hatching, the chicks are securely kept on a slab until they reach adulthood. A lava dispenser briefly activates when they reach full size, cooking them immediately and gathering the drops. For convenient access, every item funnels through hoppers into a chest. This small design offers a consistent supply of food and materials while conserving resources and space. I've added lighting to deter hostile mobs and enclosed the farm in glass so I can keep an eye on things.
