Further to my earlier post ( 8th July and thanks for all replies)) from
which it would seem that chickens can be hypnotised, I have a question:
How do you hypnotise a chicken?
I>ve seen it on tv where the hypnotist says ....when I click my fingers
you will wake up and run round like a chicken. I don>t think this is quite
so convincing if the subject actually is a chicken.

Or hypnotize a chicken to run around like a human, when the fingers are
snapped. |

Okay this is how a friend of mine hypnotises a chicken. She has a little[/quote]
banty cock who is so fierce and brave he attacks her when she tries to go in
her own garden especially when she would like to collect the eggs. This is
what she does. When he flies at her she grabs him and she puts his head
under one of his wings then she dangles him round and round for a minute or
two and lays him on the ground. He will lie there for a few minutes, enough
time for her to get the eggs and get out..Then he gets up, really cross.
I>ve never tried it myself but it works.

Holding a chicken upside down causes the blood to rush to their head,
which causes them to like black out.
When they get upright, they have to figure out where they are again.
Good for aggressive roosters, since they have to re-establish their
'turf' again. |

You should have good arm motions when you hypnotize a chicken, it looks
better. Hold the chicken on it>s back with the head below the rest of it>s
body. Incant and move the chicken in slow up and down circles making sure
you keep their head below their body. Watch for the head to droop as the
chicken starts to go under. Then "Slowly" lay the chicken down on it>s
side. If down correctly the chicken will stay there.

Hi!
I watched a little girl hypnotize a chicken today - actually, a
Cochen(sp?) rooster - and it does have a magical charm. He had been
picking at his cellmate and she tied it to a table by its leg, then
proceeded to hypnotize it.
You just never know what you>re going to learn in this big, bright
world!

mine get hynotised at anything, they just stop and stare for a few
minutes. the funniest time was when one hen was pecking a bit of
bread out of the beak of another and that completely froze her. it
looked like they were kissing, but with that confused chicken look it
was pure comedy.

oh, I don>t think *that>s* hypnotizing - in fact, I can watch mine do
this regularly. They do it when they are in a comfortable, lazy mood,
resting after a good meal, or in the shadow on a hot day. It is a
friendly gesture, I think, cleaning another hen>s face. My oldest hen,
she>s eight now, does it really often, like a grandma saying "come here,
child, you can>t run around like that"... The others seem to like it.
The first time I watched it was when I had just got a beautiful new
bantam cock and my old hens were really enthusiastic about him. He,
wanting to show what a brave man he was, ran over to fight with the big
old boss of neighbour>s coop, and no wonder was beaten. Cackling loudly,
he came running back home, bleeding from a wound on his wattle, his face
covered with dirt and feathers sticking in the blood of his wound.
That was when my bantam Barnevelder hen came running, and he bent down
and "froze", while she picked the feathers from his face and cleaned him
as well as she could. What a picture that was - a lady and a hero,
fallen in love ;-)
