Can you walk a chicken on a leash?

I have small yard and would love if I can take my hen for a walk to the park or school yard (after school hours) so she can get some grass and exercise.

There are a number of threads on leashed chickens, most people seem to use a small dog, cat or ferret harness https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/589730/anyone-ever-walk-their-chickens-on-a-leash and http://www.browneggblueegg.com/Article/HarnessAndLeash.html and https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/637074/my-chicken-pumpkin-can-walk-on-a-dog-leash

Great-thank you!

But will the chicken then try to go out walking by themselves? Like disappear to find that free grass again ??

 

[glandongirl]

Yes, I wonder about that too!
