• Puts ring on chicken
• Start walking out of Shire with chicken
• Hear rumours of strange riders. Better get to Bree.
• Wyvern Rider/giant bat swoops down and eats chicken
• Wraith sifts wyvern poop with a colander to retrieve ring.

You have to remember this is a universe where in the battle of the five armies the goblins (hobbit name for low orcs) used giant bats to literally blot the sky to night to help the hoard in combat.

That chicken has no fucking hope.

Plus, the Ring’s corrupting power has influence on many things, I think it could pull a chicken into danger just as it did Frodo on numerous occasions.

A chicken? A chicken can’t defend itself at all. What you want to do is put the ring on a necklace, then put the necklace on a Tom Bombadil, and then lead the Tom Bombadil around with a string.

Never thought about it that way? Have you read the books? It’s quite explicit.
