Modding Help Is there a way to interact with a Chicken?

I'm thinking about a mod to allow feeding chickens plant seeds as a way to get eggs. (I don't know if anything currently drops eggs )

Is it possible to interact with the existing chicken ( similar to the objectHook onInteraction(args) ) or would it require converting the Chicken monster into an NPC and using the npcHook for interaction?

Thanks

 

The monsterHooks have no onInteraction() so you will have to make them into NPCs.

 

As far as I can tell there is no way to remove an items from the player on interaction. So even if you make the chicken intractable there is no way to 'feed' it the seeds.
