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.

    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.

    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.
