Why do pistons kill chickens?

I have an automated chicken farm that uses pistons to direct the flow of water into holding pools. When the chickens float past the pistons they get damaged and die - irrespective of if the piston is opened or closed. I've even tried having the piston only push a block but they still die when coming into contact with the block. Is this normal behavior or a bug? I'm on minecraft 1.12 FTB revelations.
