After the most recent update, my automated chicken cooker no longer cooked my adult chickens. The automated farm is designed to quickly dispense and retract a lava blade with a dispenser which used to set adult chickens in the enclosure on fire. After being exposed to lava, the adult chickens in the pen are burned, and dropped cooked chicken and feathers.
Currently, adult chickens exposed to lava briefly take damage, but not enough to kill them, and do continue to take fire damage after the blade is retracted. As a result the automated chicken farm no longer cooks adult chickens automatically. The lava can be activated manually, which after a time does kill the chickens, but instead of dropping cooked chicken meat, they drop raw chicken instead.
Will try to get some additional photo or video evidence. Thanks!

Attached below is an image of my current design. The lava blade dispenser is on the left. The egg dispenser is on the right.
I currently have glowstone directly over the dispensers and a half-slab underneath the chickens.
I also recorded a clip of what happens when the cooker is activated.
If I need another half-slab, does it need to go where the glowstone block currently resides or below it?
Thanks.

Thank you for your report!

Does removing the glowstone block above the chickens allow the lava to kill them correctly? If so, it is probably a dupe of MCPE-31481.
Please report back to confirm if this works, this ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.

I believe this works as intended. The dispenser and lava blade behavior was causing an unrelated problem, I believe it was that the lava was consuming some drops. A change was made in 1.2.13 to prevent this from happening, and that now causes this problem. To solve both problems simultaneously, the developers added a special case for chicken cookers: If you place a slab above where the lava blade is dispensed, it will work as it did before.
If you already have a slab above the lava blade and are still having this problem, please provide a screenshot of your cooker.
