I need to let this go --- promise last mention of it. This is a dumb dumb dumb thing someone DID to some poor chickens. They were told if they pulled the tail feathers out they would grow faster. No*** they won't but they will run faster to get away from your stupid *** self the next time they see you. (***there are some words I would like to insert but I won't.....don't want to get banned from BYC)
