Why let the chicken wear it? Frodo wore the ring on a necklace most of the time, why not do the same with the chicken?

Well, that's just wearing it on a necklace with extra steps.

The necklace obviously still had an impact on Frodo, so Sam had to carry him. The chicken takes the place of Frodo, so both Frodo and Sam can carry the chicken.

Well, then why not put that chicken on a cat, and the cat on a dog, and the dog on a donkey, and then ride all up into Mordor full Bremen Town Musicians style?

Better safe than sorry...

That would be sick.

They're gonna have a good story to tell Gandalf about how they lost the ring while orcs are marching them to mount doom.
