An automatic chicken farm in Minecraft is an excellent way to obtain a recurring source of food. It takes very few materials to build, but having one can essentially remove the need for farming crops if a player prefers cooked meat.

Though automatic chicken farms in the game differ from one another, they tend to follow the same premise.

A dispenser takes chicken eggs and fires them to spawn new chickens. The chicken grows to full size and is killed by a lava pool, which immediately drops cooked chicken. The chicken is then funneled to a chest via hopper, where players can collect it whenever they like.

Different farm designs call for different amounts of blocks and items in Minecraft, but a basic automatic chicken farm shouldn't require much.

For a basic farm, players will require:

While this may seem somewhat daunting, building an automatic farm isn't as difficult as it might appear.

Minecraft players won't need extensive knowledge of redstone mechanics or anything of the sort. In just a few minutes, they should be able to easily create a recurring source of cooked chicken.

Players should just make sure to bring multiple chickens to the farm at the beginning. The machine may otherwise kill the chickens faster than it can create them with eggs.

Here are the steps you can follow to build a basic automatic cooked chicken farm in Minecraft:

If constructed correctly, Minecraft players should now be able to watch their automatic farm begin its work. It can take some time, depending on how long it takes for your chickens to lay eggs. However, once they do, the farm will begin spawning chickens and killing them with lava once they reach adulthood. All that's left afterwards is to collect your cooked chicken.
