Today I tried breeding animals for the first time in hopes of playing Minecraft without cheating (Bad habit of mine)
After I constructed the pens and herded some chicken in and bred them, I went off to find some cows to move in. When I came back the chickens were gone. I'm assuming they despawned when I moved to far away... Is there any way (or mod) that will allow bred mobs to not despawn. That would make farming alot more efficient.

Woah! Look at that! (Pssst. It's a game development blog.)
There is a problem with the chickens. I made a two high fence and put a roof on it and my chickens would find ways out. Don't know how but they did. All of the other animals stay put.
Chickens can jump higher than fences, so you'll need to build a two fence high wall to keep them it.
Oh wait, you just responded.
What do you have as the entrance to the farm.
A gate... Shall I change it to a door? I didnt realize chickens could jump that high. I only had it 2 high because there was a ledge behind it, I didn't want other animals getting in there.

Yes, chickens are very difficult to contain, as they're always look for a way out of cages. Chickens can not only jump over a one block high fence, but they can also squeeze through a door that may be used as an entrance to the pen. To make an entrance to your pen that chickens can't get through, make a gate, then place any kind of block two blocks above that gate. (One space in between)

But I have them in a 2-high fenced cage :/ What could have happened?
