Pretty sure that's a thing of chickens and some other friendly mobs preferring the more high elevated spots. Just move the chest lower and they will probably forget about it entirely. I have chickens everywhere as well, and most of them bunch up in the highest spots they can reach, not only chests. They seem so be striving for just the highest point of the world if available.

@Dhranios Alrighty, thanks for pointing that out, forgot about these recipes (because stonecutter recipes are just personally superior for me), my mistake
