I move that chickens be attracted to and bred with seeds, melon seeds and pumpkin seeds instead of wheat.
Why? Currently wheat is being used for breeding and food, which can generally require quite alot of wheat especially on multiplayer. Seeds are however used for one purpose, expanding wheat farms. The problem with this is once you build a large enough wheat farm, your seeds just begin to collect -as when you harvest the wheat you get more seeds then you started with. The same applies to melon & pumpkin seeds, but it is more avoidable as you have an option not to turn melons and pumpkins into seeds. Why Chickens? Chickens; mainly because it would be nice to have a way to single them out in a crowd of other animals. Secondly with the current feather dropping mechanic. Chickens could burn through seeds pretty quickly.
Of course the simplest solution is just burning your excess seeds; though if you think about it, every other item in minecraft can be used for something without it turning into some weird exponential growth thing like seeds do.
meh?

Please stop crying. I can't interrogate you while you're crying.
I think of Christmas as a happy time, It's the only time of the year when every man and woman sees each other as equals. Even if it hasn't put any gold or silver in my pockets I say it has done me good and will do me good and there for I say god bless it! ~Scrooge's Nephew.
