Baby Chickens are dropping feathers continually like a fountain of feathers. Once they become adults the feather dropping returns to normal.

This only happens with baby chickens that are grown in the Hatchery nest. so I don't know if this is a Hatchery issue or just chickens.

looking into this, Do you have Quark installed?

I'm wondering it it has to do with this line?
https://github.com/Vazkii/Quark/blob/1db98672c07a092942c70f2646cffa8ca15cc0fa/src/main/java/vazkii/quark/tweaks/feature/ChickensShedFeathers.java#L41

Quark has a config option for baby chickens drop feathers? "Chicks drop feathers" check if its false or true and get back to me. I dont have time to test this atm.

"Drop frequency (lower means more)" Quark has this config as well. may set it to a really high number

We do have quark but feather dropping in disabled in the config.

im gone for the day or I would do some testing.. have you removed quark and tested?

ill also check make sure my last release branch didnt have an issue I didnt catch.

I cant seem to recreate this issue, doesn't seem to be affected by Quark and Hatchery. Is this a server? any other information you can give. Is there an console information getting printed?

I'll have to check the console stuff. This is not a server, its a LAN environment, hosted single player. I'll also have to get a full mod list to you since it seems to be something interacting but there are over 200 mods.

The odd thing is that in the Skyfactory pack, this issue wasn't present, so not sure what the difference is as it uses many of the same mods.

I've tried to recreate it, my hatching eggs, creative eggs, I'm currently on a LAN. But im getting nothing.

We put the eggs on the nests under glowstone lamps and when they hatch they spew feathers.

Ill check that I misunderstood what you meant. but I didn't see feathers when I hatched. checking now

Still nothing.. just checked about 30 nest. Something is doing it

My modpack is public that is also experiencing the issue - just keep in mind its 320~ mods so it's quite large.

Closing fir now

I've found the culprit! the "Tertaqueous" mod has a config for mob drops that messes with the chickens.
just disable it, and everything will work fine!

So is it fixed? or are you just closing it because you cannot reproduce it?

If you test it with out any other mods and it does this than I'll look at it again. Or if it is a mod and you figgure figure out which one than I'll look at it. I just can't reproduce or have seen this happen.

I have a mod pack with 1.10.2 and the issue no longer happens. We do not however know what changed to stop the issue. If it crops up again, I'll post again, but closing this for now is fine.

Closing it cause I can not reproduce it in the mid alone. It's obviously a mod interaction.

Okay, After about an hour of testing, I haven't come up with anything more solid than what you guys have. It's definitely a multiple mod interaction, because it only happens when I have my full modlist, basically. I haven't been able to reproduce it under circumstances with pared down mods. Hopefully if anyone is interested in doing further testing, the testing/research in my document will be helpful. I need a break.

This has been one of the hardest bugs to track down. I appreciate ya doing some heavy testing.

Its a very strange bug.

going to reopen this for now... still have no clue whats causing it though, hatchery doesn't give feather drops unless chickens are in pens, Chickens mod doesn't give feather drops at all, and neither does More chickens, but something isn't playing nice. TBH the only way is to remove a mod or batch of mods at a time, load game, and check for feathers.

I'm going through in singleplayer and doing just that - testing it with my entire modlist, just adding a handful of mods at a time. I don't have any leads because, to my knowledge, nothing I have modifies chicken drops since I removed ChickenShed. Cyclic was suggested but doesn't seem to be the case.

Here's my process document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UpjZXoOOXkFGAXzc3fAT4xLf8I12CTo-uQfUdgk-piI/edit?usp=sharing

Question does this only happen with modded chickens or will it also happen on vanilla chickens? if thats the case what ever mod may be having an issue with the modded chickens.

When we were having this issue we also had Animania installed. But like I said the issue stopped and we never knew why. We have since moved on to 1.11.2 so we can't test anything until it comes to that version.

Well wish I could tell ya what it is, but like I said another mod is dropping the feathers. Id be glad to help the other mod dev, or if its something on our end I'll fix it. But since I cant recreate it with just my mod its hard to fix.

@Wizardon777 Which config for terraqueous? I'm having this issue and if I don't kill the chicken soon there will be too many drops and the client lags.

I believe you meant the following, under "mobs":

# Adds feather moulting
B:enableChickenDropTweaks=false

Edit: After a few hatches, this seems to have fixed it.
