Hypnotizing Chickens

Hypnotizing Chickens

A friend told me that when he was a child, he hypnotized chickens for fun. This was a new one to me. In fact, I had to wonder if he was telling the truth.

I hate to be suckered by a tall tale, but I couldn’t help but get sucked in by this one. So, I asked him how he does it.

He told me it was easy. First, lay the chicken on its side. Next, draw a straight line in the dirt, starting at the chicken’s eyes and moving away from its head.

He claims the chicken will lay there all day, staring at the line. He said that one time he had 10 chickens laid out in a row this way.

I raised chickens for years, but my chicken tractor is empty now. Otherwise, I’d go home and try it in a minute. My grandfather raised chickens, and he never told me anything like this. True or false, you tell me?
