Don't be too rough with each other! We're here to appreciate, and sometimes lightly rib, Tolkien's fantastic creation, and all of its derivative works. Arguments happen, but remember, in the words of Tolkien, that food and cheer and good song are what make a merrier world!

I am not a Tolkien scholar, but my understanding is that the would do its evil-ring best to get away from something as weak as a chicken and onto the finger of a more powerful thrall.
A goose, maybe.
Let's not go crazy here. A lion with a gun would probably be up before that much evil.
A chimpanzee with a machine gun would probably be less dangerous than a goose with the ring. Hell, a goose with the ring might be more dangerous than Sauron with the ring.
I agree. I think it was trying for a goose when it abandoned Sauron.
I love that interpretation. Sauron created a weapon too powerful for even him to control. It betrayed him and made it's way to the shire, looking for a goose.
This is what lead to to Untitled Goose Game.
Or multiple eagles?
The ring would attract all types to it. Not to mention, Gollum will have a much easier time robbing a chicken than a Hobbit and it isn't like this hyopthetical somehow solves the Gollum problem.
Now I’m imagining a scene where Gollum is robbing a chicken, and then attacked by a hoard of chickens from off-screen (LoZ style).
Link of the Zelda style?
I mean The Ring chilled with Gollum for a long time. To The Ring I'm sure a chicken and Gollum were about an equal level of weakness. It's also said that The Ring abandoned Gollum, as in it made a choice.
Although it didn't seem to be in much of a hurry, since The Ring stayed with Bilbo for a while.
