As the title suggests, my 50 or so chickens seem to have committed mass suicide and I'm trying to work out why. Until my investment in a infernal enchanter they haven't been a problem.
Bearing in mind:
- The nearest nether portal is very far away from the pen.
- There have been no break-ins by mobs.
- The infernal enchanter was placed some 27 blocks away from the pen.
- I removed the enchanter but the remaining chickens were still dying.
- The chickens are not becoming demonic like they would if they were next to a portal.
- None of my other animals - wolves, pigs, and cows - have been affected despite their proximity to the enchanter.
Could it be that the tormented souls from the enchanter are possessing them? If so, how could do to banish the evil spirits?
Below are some pictures of the pen:
