Minecraft wiki entry for Superflat_survival, associated text: Additionally, eggs can be used to make a chicken farm: simply kill some skeletons (you can wait for them to burn when morning arrives) to get some bones, then turn it into bone meal and start growing grass for seeds. With the seeds, you'll need to find some chicken and lure them into a walled off area. When they're inside, either breed them using seeds or wait for them to drop eggs, for you to hatch them into chicks.
