I've heard that you can also hobble your chicken by attaching a weight to one of the legs....I don't know if this is true or not but maybe someone else has had some experience with this
You know what this seems like a great idea. I might try this if I can find a suitable weight. Otherwise I may just have to re-home the Top-Hen provided the SLW starts laying big eggs. I am not too happy with Pepe's egg size. She has been laying for 40 days now and her egg size has only progressed from a meager 44 gm to 52 gm now. Here counterpart Marcy started at 52 gm 48 days ago and now consistently lays 62 gm (large) eggs and occasionally throws in a double yolk-er or a jumbo. (that was 84 gm). I think Pepe's energies are spent on beating up others and not focusing on eating.
