Hello Mojang,
A weird bug has been happening since I updated to 1.4.2 where I have a 50% chance of breading mobs other than chickens and 0% chance with chickens. I have a screen recording of the chickens and they apparently are not* attracted to the wheat ether. If you can't see the screen shot let me know and i'll upload another.
Thanks for your time

Environment
5Gb of ram to server and client. local host. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. No Mods. Open JDK 7
In this version chickens are no longer fed or bred with wheat. You will find seeds much more effective. On another note, pigs now breed with carrots instead of wheat.
