Mob density, balance, and chickens

I would like to file a formal complaint with regards to the excessive combination of mob density and chickens in Act 4 Cruel.

This is the final Pit area. The first time I died due to the insane amount of chickens, it looked like they had a score to settle after hundreds of years of our consuming them for meat.



Afterwards, when entering the arena, I was spawned right into the middle of the bloodthirsting chickens each time, and got insta-gibbed each and every time.

Gib 1:



Gib 2:



Gib 3:



Gib 4:



Gib 5:

All in all, a very fowl experience.

You're obviously not a bird lover. :(
