The Chicken Fountain is a joint build project & farm constructed by David on the Current Server world, as part of the Mega City.
Design
The fountain's design was meant to fit in with the park area surrounding it, and the cherry blossom trees that got planted in the area. The fountain features a cherry blossom tree right in the centre, and behind that is a geyser where the chicken comes out.
Hopper minecarts have been strategically placed to catch chicken as it comes out so that there are a few stacks always available.
Technical Details
The build and Redstone for this farm is quite simple. There is a chamber that collects eggs from chickens using half-slabs over hoppers. Then the eggs make their way to one of three dispensers which fires the eggs into a one-block space where the chicks are held until they grow up. Once they grow up, their hit box interacts with the lava above them, killing them and cooking the chicken. Then all the items are collected by a hopper mine cart. After which, they are fed through an item sorter that pulls feathers out and then the chicken and anything that isn't a feather gets dispensed into the fountain.
There might be a future where the chicken chamber switches to cauldrons to hold the chickens to prevent entity cramming deaths. This page will be updated if/when that happens.
