I tried spawning chickens in my world with eggs but they don't spawn anymore like before. before 1.7.3 I was able to spawn them with eggs. Did they patch it?
Yea, it seems to be a random gltich. Two days ago i through 10 stacks of eggs and got none. Thats 160 eggs lol Then like a day later i tried again and got 1 about every 5 or 6 eggs thrown. And it has nothing to do with whether or not the eggs are duped, both times were from the same duped eggs. Just another bug they created with the recent update.
If the max number of friendly mobs has already been reached, then the chickens won't spawn. The max is really low. 20 or so. If you build a room under the ocean, and throw your eggs at night, you will have better luck than on grassy land during the day.

The Minecraft Wiki indicates that the number of active chunks for spawning mobs varies depending on the number of players in the game and how spread out over the world these players are. For a single player, they indicate that the passive mob cap is indeed low (about 16); whereas the hostile mob cap is higher (about 79).

Hmm - that's going to make chicken farming a pain.
Not true. It works now but requires the same things to spawn a chicken from an egg that a regular chicken spawn requires. An open spawn slot, grass, and light.
I'm sure chicken spawning from an egg wasnt brought to the game until a later version
Then your assurity would be sorely misplaced because I have, personally, spawned at least 3 chickens from thrown eggs on MCXBLA (much to the amusment of my children). Furthermore, unlike most of the people in this thread, I don't think I've thrown more than 2 dozen eggs while i've been playing.
I have only throw maybe, 6-7 eggs ever since I got the game(I dont pay much attention to chickens, they are evil...) and I have spawned a chicken from them. so thats enough proof for me.
Given the fact eggs only have a 1/8th chance of hatching a chicken and the passive mob limit, there lies your problem. According to wiki 5 stacks of eggs will produce an average of 11 chickens.

This thread bores me.
Either that or you are very unlucky.

I have spawned many chickens from eggs.
