Yes please
OK Johnnytheboy,
Now I warn you that if you have access to chickens this is fun though maybe not PC!
First take a relatively calm chicken, you have to be able to hold it without it going mental - you don't want to stress the wee thing, or it's no eggys for yer tea.
Holding the chicken in one hand on the ground, slowly bring a stick of chalk up to its face, you may have to waggle the chalk slowly to get the chickens attention.
Once it's looking intently at the chalk, SLOWLY move the stick down to wards the ground... the chicken at this point should follow its movement.
Once the stick is at ground level, very slowly draw a straight line from just in front of its beak in a gracefully movement away from engrossed chicken.
Don't go mad, just slowly draw a line about six inches long, and at the end slowly remove the chalk from the chickens eye-line and palm it.
Carefully and quietly let go of the chicken and move back gently.
The chicken will stay for ages ( you may even have to give it a start to get it to move) staring at the line you've drawn, in a hypnotic like trance.
Don't know what use this has, but lets just say that time goes slowly on a farm
and it's not illegal.
Similar tricks can be used to poach pheasants...:Wow: , taking advantage of certain strange programing that bird brains have. Will expand on that too if you like... purely for knowledge sake, would never condone poaching pheasants.
