Chickens with longer despawn timers

[Trifle]

I love having chickens running out and about, please add some way to have them take longer to despawn, maybe have them locked to a specific coop or something.
I don't care about the quality going up, I just want them wandering around for ambience.

this is unironically a good idea is non q10 chickens lasting significantly longer

no reproduction without a coop though to keep birth rates at replacement levels no tyrant should commodify real estate

+1 I remember my first day playing haven in legacy i saw a guy's claim and he had a chicken coop outside the claim where chickens spawned right in front of it, i thought it meant they leave the coop and wander around and i was really excited to build coops because i thought that was awesome and was left disappointed.

If you could optionally enable from the coop that it sends out "ghosts" of the rooster/hen/chick inside to wander near the coop.

Easiest/least intrusive way of achieving this.

Or maybe the wandering chicken would retain some sort of locked position in the coop while it is out, and returns there / is counted being there for the purposes of eating/drinking/laying eggs?

This is a great idea for making a lively farm vibes

That looks absolutely lovely, I never thought of chickens as decorations. Would love it implemented even if I would never use it.

[vatas]

The implementation I suggested would also have some practical uses as well: you could see if you have chicks hatched, excess roosters, etc. without checking every Coop.

No joke.

What about making a mechanic like the hand that gives that allows chickens to stay up long time(within the radius or we)?
