Where Do Chickens Come From?

Greetings to all.

As you may know, Xavier has an obsession with Minecraft, so much so we limit his time with it.

The version of Minecraft we allow Xavier to play is an older alpha version which comes bundled with his Raspberry Pi.

One of the many nice things about this version is we have programmatic access to the local server, which allows us to code some fun stuff. Still, our version suffers many limitations when compared to the current production release of the game.

One of the things we have figured out to do is program the game with several kinds of farm animals: cows, pigs, sheep and chickens. The chickens seem to be the most animated and generally Xavier's favorite animal to have injected into his world.

Today, Xavier logged into a game we started yesterday which we coded to have ten chickens. He visited one of his chicken corrals.

With great excitement, I heard "Dad, there's another chicken! I think the chickens kissed!"

So, according to Xavier, baby chickens appear when chickens kiss.
