Chicken (and rabbits) can drop several chickens (rabbits) when killed with looting. In 1.8.8 no matter if killed with looting-enchanted weapon or if not, chicken (rabbit) always dropped one chicken (zero or one rabbit). Now it can drop up to 4 chickens (rabbits) from one with looting 3.

Because one raw/cooked chicken from one chicken was working as intended: MC-21713
Looting should affect only feathers from chicken, not the meat.
It can be argued that MC-21713 was not WAI. Leaving this ticket open either way as @unknown specifically requested people report mob drop changes here.
also rabbits are affected: In 1.8.8 with looting you got 0-1 raw rabbit. In 15w43a you can get up to 4 raw rabbits from one.
and why is this a bug? it sounds like a bugfix ^^
