Don't animals despawn after a while of not being close by?

Although I am not familiar with the new breeding stuff in minecraft 1.0

In 1.8-1.0 it was changed so they don't despawn

yea they stayed spawned over the holiday season though...

the warp is jfarm if you need it

It happens, if you look around there are a couple other threads where people had their chickens/sheep/waffles/whatevers despawn. It happens. Lag, glitch, attacks, for whatever reason sometimes they die.

It just so happens that I sell chicken eggs at /warp slurthshop. You can buy til your heart's content. <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f609.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=";-)">;-)</object>

I believe this will help...

If you have ever watched a farm, you will notice that the passive mob(non lethal mobs) tend to be able to glitch into the fence posts, they do this in and out of servers. All animals do this, Cows, Pigs, Sheep, and Chickens, even if you put a roof on it and raise the fence posts 10 high, they will still glitch out.

There is a way to fix this though, what you should do is keep the fence posts(If you want) But lower the ground level about 2-3 blocks so that when the animals jump, they do not touch the fence post and do not glitch out.

Basically, have 2 or 3 rows of Solid Blocks where the animals will stand on, and then have the Farm look by adding Fence Posts on top of the solid blocks.

Hope this helps!!

I dont think the problem is the chickens lagging out in a fence...7

And yeah if you are not active in a chunk for a certain amount of time the chickens WILL despawn it just happens

EDIT: Or someone could have just massacred them all
