Is it real or a joke? Your guess is as good, probably better than mine...

[Edit] One thought... they shouldn't be nearly as fast on a chicken...

[Edit] Update: They're REAL!!!

No fall-damage zombies... That, my friend, is what you call a real pain.

Baby zombies on chickens might actually slow them down quite a bit...

 

[Saice]

I would be killed as I would to be busy laughing if I saw on of them.

Considering the long-standing jokes about evil chickens of doom, this is only too appropriate!

imagine them adding a creeper baby and toss one of them on a chicken, hit the chicken just once and you'll be in for a bad bad time

Creeper babies explode into fireworks. It's adorable.

Instant Jamaican Jerk Chicken?

I'm just imagining being followed by one... That high-pitched "Grrrr" sound followed immediately by a chicken cluck would sound like a demented hiccup to me.

This is why I stopped playing vanilla

Considering how derpish dinnerbone is, I think its real.

Now, can they steer the chicken to go straight for us? Or the chicken will just derp around?

Can they fit through 1 block tall holes? I hope not.

well, seeing as they're riding the chicken, they should start to take damage/suffocate when going throough 1x1 holes

That's slightly reassuring, but if the suffocation won't kill them, then that's going to cause trouble for my house.

@PierceSG : Yes, the BZ can steer the chicken. They also seem to be able to steer and propel a mine cart, even without tracks, according to DocM77's vieo, now linked to my original post.

@AshmanTheGuy : They seem to be able to do so, as the video shows a Zombie spawner with a 1 block high opening to filter babies.

@Yusunoha : I can't answer this... Perhaps they're just getting out of the spawner quickly?

Oh no. Time to build Doggy-Door Defenses.

Dayum, suddenly Tinkers' Construct's landmines and extrautilities' bear traps looks enticing to have.
