I know that animal suffocation was fixed in the 1.4.1 pre-release but discovered this today. I was spawning chickens in a small enclosure as shown in the screenshot. When the eggs hit the back wall, around about where the dirt meets the stone, about 50% spawned in the dirt and suffocated immediately. All chickens spawned in at that point suffered some damage, but I put this down to the fact that they were spawned at the wall and not on the floor. I was spawning the chickens one at a time (i.e. not spamming the back wall) as I didn't want to hit newly spawned chickens with eggs immediately after they appeared.
Steps to reproduce:
Aim eggs at line between dirt and stone at back wall of enclosure, or just above line. Approx 50% of chickens that spawn will do so in the dirt block as if having landed on the stone block's top.
Expected result:
Chicken spawns normally.
Not a major bug, just flagging it as out of 6 or so chickens that spawned, at least half died.
Cheers!!!

I can confirm that in Minecraft 1.4.1pre eggs thrown at a wall will often get a chick stuck in the wall and it quickly suffocates. I didn't count but i'd but it more at 25% to 33% of the time. Doesn't seem to be a unique property of the dirt block.
I have had very good results with using a half slab placed from above in such a way that you throw the chicken egg up at the bottom of the half slab. I haven't tested this using the upside down half slabs but what almost always happens with this method is that the chicken spawns immediately below the half slab and drops down, minimizing any suffocation damage it does incur on spawning.

Is there anything else about your setup that you can say? Modded server, some specific angle you threw at, the rough speed in eggs-per-second™, …?
@unknown Singleplayer, Optifine preview version, some datapacks (not related to chickens/eggs, just some VanillaTweaks such as player graves and chestplate + elytra, as well as some other smaller datapacks such as netherite items exiting burnt shulker boxes and NevTooExp).
My CPS was about 6.
This should be fixed, because it is super-annoying when you build a dispenser to automatically throw the collected eggs for you. (This problem is only present with non-transparent blocks. If you use e.g. glass, the chickens won't die.)
