message: In an article by Michael Ballhaus titled "Helmut war ein wilder Bub" (Helmut was a wild boy)
the author cites an interview with his sister. This interview was provided to me by request 
to the STERN magazine and mailed to me. I cite the relevant passage: 
STERN: Welche Tiere mag er besonders?
GETREY: Als Kind hat er ja mit Begeisterung Hasen gezüchtet. Seinem Lieblingshasen hat er sogar beigebracht, Männchen zu machen. Und ein Huhn hat er hypnotisiert, indem er es über einen Kreidestrich laufen ließ. Seinen Schäferhund Igo, den er als Ministerpräsident hatte, hat er abgöttisch geliebt. 
which translates as:
"STERN: Which animals does he especially like? 
GETREY: As a child, he loved to breed rabbits. He even taught his favourite rabbit to sit up and beg. An he hypnotized a chicken by making it walk on a line he drew with chalk. His German Shepherd Dog Igo, he had a Ministerial president...."
Now, this leaves some ambiguity, because making a chicken "walk on a line drawn with chalk" is probably NOT an effective methode to induce hypnosis. I therefore conclude that his sister simply falsely remebered the event and that Mr. Kohls preferred methode of chicken hypnosis is the classical one.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.210.203.23 (talk) 14:38, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

message: This is a curious article.  I do not understand why it is called 'hypnotism' when it is clearly 'tonic immobility'.  It has been used for for many years now in animal behaviour science as it indicates the level of fearfulness immediately preceeding  being placed into tonic immobility.  The longer the hen remains in tonic immobility, the more fearful she was prior to the induction (and this can be longer than the article states).  We have used this as a tool to improve welfare by, for example, looking at tonic immobility after transport, or after being housed in different housing systems.  It has been shown that the hen remains totally conscious throughout the period of immobility - which is sensible because the bird can then escape from the situation (predator) placing it in tonic immobility.  I can of course provide references for these, but would rather not link science to an article describing this as 'hypnotism'.DrChrissy (talk) 17:20, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  I have removed Will Smith from this list 

message: That's animal cruelty. Nothing in the article recommends to not use it on chicken, as animals are not toys or experiment subjects. Nothing about the risks or the inocuity of such a pratice. The form of the article is really bad.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.91.51.235 (talk) 08:24, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Like it or not, animals often are experiment subjects, and chickens are commonly raised as food, housed in rather unpleasant conditions, and summarily slaughtered at will. They can also be rather brutal in their interactions with each other. But is there really any evidence that chickens are harmed by the "hypnotism"? What are these risks of which you speak? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 04:49, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Chicken hypnotism →  – As funny as the title is, "chicken hypnotism" or "chicken hypnosis" is generally not what this phenomenon is called in a scientific context, and "hypnosis" is misleading (see ); the cause is not exactly known but is probably something to do with a panic/predator response.
