What is a chicken bobber?

A "chicken bobber" is a term used in the context of fishing, specifically live bait fishing. It's a playful and somewhat crude slang term for a live chicken used as bait.

Here's why it's called that:

* "Bobber": This refers to the float on a fishing line that helps anglers see when a fish bites. A live chicken, when used as bait, would "bob" on the water's surface, mimicking a struggling creature and attracting fish.

* "Chicken": The bait itself is a live chicken, often a young or small one.

Important Note: Using live chickens as bait is highly controversial and illegal in many places. It's considered cruel and inhumane. There are ethical and practical reasons to avoid this practice.

If you're interested in fishing, there are many alternative and cruelty-free bait options available.
