Chook hypnosis

[Nutcase]

Hi there
does anyone know how to hypnotise a chicken?

Hold them on their backs and stroke their breasts. They will go very still.

Actually, it's not really hypnosis, but hypotonic immobility. Which means that their muscles relax so much they can't/won't move.

I have tried that and it doesnt seem to work? what else could i try? people i know have been succesful with hypnotising chickens but i cant do it

Darwin chooks maybe your chickens are afraid you'll hypnotize them and make them do stupid human tricks in front of an audience.

Lie them down on their side. Make sure they're watching and draw a white line with chalk. Then let go and they'll freeze.
