Original Note:
The visible condition is thanatosis - the body's defense reaction against predators, in which the potential victim freezes or feigns death. You can induce this by turning the chicken onto its back and gently immobilizing it, or by drawing a line directly in front of it. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5769822/ https://bitchinchickens.com/2021/05/17/tonic-immobility-hypnosis-in-chickens/
