I propose fundraising bodies design fully functional hens with a coin slot in their backs. The stomach/change lining is tamper proof, barcoded and releases a die if attempting unauthorised opening. After a coin is inserted into the hen it pecks, sqwauks and does hen things for a designated time and
then stops - requiring another coin.
Displaying the specific charity on their sides they would be released in urban areas for money retrieval.

If they're free-range, you don't need to pay. They might be battery-operated, though. |

Photovoltaic feathers, no batteries need apply. "Mommy, make the funny chicken do the Chicken Dance!" |

// In one of our worlds of animal behavior, a chicken
is on public exhibition, and a member of the public is moved to put a coin
in a slot and the chicken gives a performance. There are many kinds of
behaviors possible, depending on the particular device. A person might
activate a dancing chicken, a basketball playing chicken, or a chicken that
answers questions (we cue the chicken with cleverly concealed lights telling
the chicken how to answer). // |

You mean a bit like this ? |
|

[angel] then they'd be battery Hens, like Unabubba's... |
|
| |
round my way i see people taking circular saws to parking meters. A money filled hen would be easy peckings. In fact it'd be chicken-pinching-good. |
|
| |
This is brilliant, particularly the //releases a die// tamperer confuddlement mechanism. |
|
| |
Why did the hen cross the road? |
|
| |
i imagine that by "die" you mean a lethal poison of some sort. A little bit of overkill. If "hen things" involves eating bugs and aerating the soil, producing fertilizer, and laying eggs then + otherwise i suspect quite a few creative ways for destroying them for fun an profit would arise. |
