| Sep 9, 2011 at 16:28 | comment | added | user56 | @BenBlank If it's named a chicken and it has ambiguous anatomy, it is whatever Notch says it is. If Notch later calls it a duck, it's a duck. | |

| Sep 9, 2011 at 15:50 | comment | added | Ullallulloo | @BenBlank: Plus, they go cluck, and in 1.8, they'll drop an item called "Raw Chicken", you should just go ahead an answer. Feel free to use what I said. | |
| Sep 9, 2011 at 15:30 | comment | added | Ben Blank | @Arda Xi — By that argument, you could say that the cows are shaved bison and the pigs are stunted giraffes. To corrupt a phrase, if it's named a chicken and has the anatomy of a chicken, it's a chicken. | |

@BenBlank I can name a file unicorn.png and it could still be a horse. If it is intentionally left ambiguous by Notch, he could go ahead and say it's a duck despite the name.

@Arda Xi — In the source, all of the chicken's sounds are identified as "mob.chicken<sound>". These are stored as ordinary strings and are not obfuscated — you can check it yourself by cracking open minecraft.jar and examining ww.class. You should see mob.chicken, mob.chickenhurt, etc. For that matter, the texture file is named chicken.png…

| Sep 8, 2011 at 22:52 | comment | added | Ben Blank | @Arda Xi — Yes. Just as with Herobrine, this can be determined by examining the source. | |
| Sep 8, 2011 at 22:19 | comment | added | thedaian | The real question is: Which came first, the Chicken, or the Duck Egg? | |
| Sep 8, 2011 at 21:47 | comment | added | Ullallulloo | @ArdaXi: They have crops, Notch, Jeb, and the Minecraft wiki refer to them as chickens, and in 1.8, they'll drop an item called "Raw Chicken". | |
| Sep 8, 2011 at 21:42 | comment | added | user56 | @Ullallulloo If that can be backed up, this question should be re-opened. | |
| Sep 8, 2011 at 21:37 | comment | added | Ullallulloo | @ArdaXi: Yes, they are chickens. | |
| Sep 8, 2011 at 21:28 | comment | added | user56 | @BenBlank Does Herobrine exist? has a quantifiable answer. Does this question? | |

restated question to be more clearly understandable
|
| Sep 8, 2011 at 19:33 | comment | added | Ullallulloo | I wouldn't mind reopening it if it was phrased like a normal question, but I'm agreeing with Raven as it is now. | |
| Sep 8, 2011 at 17:56 | comment | added | e-MEE | those are chickens | |
| Sep 8, 2011 at 17:15 | comment | added | ProSay | if you closed my question then shouldn't the Does herobrine exist? question be closed too? | |
| Sep 8, 2011 at 17:07 | comment | added | Ben Blank | @Raven Dreamer — I would disagree. I've seen discussions on the forum debating this very question and it's evidently significant enough a confusion to warrant mention on the wiki page. Both many months before Notch's recent post. This question seems to me largely equivalent to Does Herobrine exist?. | |
| Sep 8, 2011 at 16:54 | comment | added | Raven Dreamer | @Ben Blank - because it is not so much a question as a rhetorical memetic question, recently driven to popularity by Notch himself. I'm more inclined to re-close it as "not-constructive". | |
| Sep 8, 2011 at 16:49 | comment | added | Ben Blank | How is this not a valid question? It relates to "Game mechanics and terminology". It is practical in the sense that knowing game terminology is helpful for discussing it, if not necessarily playing it in this case. It also has a concrete answer. Reopen? | |

not a real question | |
| Sep 8, 2011 at 16:35 | comment | added | Matthew Read | My first reaction is "What?" My second is, is this really one of the "practical ... questions based on actual problems that you face"? | |
