Changes to Chicken Eggs and Chicken Breeding

The egg items that chickens passively drop should be called "Infertile Chicken Egg." Instead of dropping these eggs every 5 minutes, they must be fed seeds and then if they don't breed before the heart particles go away, they lay the infertile eggs.

Then, rather than giving live birth, bred chickens will lay "Fertile Chicken Eggs" which are blocks similar to the new turtle eggs.

    I think the 5 min feature should stay

    A) Because it would be a pain to have to feed the chickens, then get them not to breed every time you wanted an egg.

    B) Because domestic chickens lay infertile eggs anyway

    I agree that chicken breeding should change to be like the turtles.

    So I was about to submit my own idea where instead of the automatic egg laying, I was going to suggest that they only lay eggs when they are fed seeds and breed. This replaces the live birthing and reduces the number of chickens able to be bred whic is OP at the moment
