Hi all, I'm a little new to Minecraft, so I've been reading tons of wikis and starting small and simple in Survival mode to learn the ropes, but one thing I've been having a problem with is my Chicken Farm. Right now I have a 6x8 (including the fencing, so more like 4x6 free space inside) farm, outdoors, dirt/grass surface, wooden fencing with stone block corners that are 2 blocks high with torches on top, and wooden gate. No water or any sort of mechanisms to automatically send me eggs, just a simple pen that I was hoping to manually collect eggs from myself to start off with. I started off with 3 chickens and now have 8 from breeding, but they just will not lay a single egg. I've looked this problem up several times now, and other people say they've had this problem, but nobody seems to have an answer on how to fix this. Any suggestions on what I'm missing and what I can do to fix this? Thanks!
Forgive me for sounding noobish, but what does that mean? How can I check if it's chunk loaded and how would I change that?
Chunks automatically load when you come in a certain distance of them. So all the chunks with in a certain radius will be loading while the ones outside will not be loaded. The distance of the radius depends on your render distance.

So in other words, the graphics? As far as I know, all the chunks are loaded when I load the map, and I have seen chickens lay eggs before I set up my farm (I guess they just hate me lol).

Chunks are 16 block wide and long and 256 block high sections of the map. The only ones loaded are the ones you can see your your render distance. Chicken also seem, from what I have noticed, to take a while to lay eggs after maturing.

Well like I said, it certainly seems to load just fine. My house/bed spawn-point is within 50 blocks of my chicken farm. All other items pop up when they spawn.
I think you misunderstood. Chunks are 16x16 pieces of land that load separately.To have one loaded just be near it (less than like 100 blocks) I have never had this problem with chickens But it sometimes take some time for them to lay egg. Make sure you leave them alone (dont be in farm itself (dont even look at them lol)) and there should be some eggs. If not post It as bug on minecraft bugtracker.Lol i kind of posted this late. Just saw someone answered this before me

I have had the same problem and I have found a solution. First you need to give the chickens wheat. Then they might lay eggs. If they don't then make an auto egg giving machine so they come to you without you looking at the chickens. If this doesn't work, make sure that there isn't a cave under the farm. If there's a cave, then the eggs might be glitching into the ground and into the cave. If you still don't find any eggs then try getting new chickens.
