Chicken Drop

There is a Bar/Restaurant on the beach that has what they call, a Chicken Drop.
They construct a square about ten feet across with netting around it.  Inside is a large piece of plywood that has smaller squares numbered from one to one hundred.  Everyone can go to the bar and for a $1 pull a number out of a hat. 
Then they get a chicken.  They have fed it until it is bursting; they shake it until it is dizzy; they blow on it’s tail feathers for luck; and then place it inside the netted area.  Everyone hollers at the chicken, flails their arms at the chicken, and try in any way they can think of to get the chicken to move to the numbered square they have drawn. 
When the chicken finally poops, whatever number it poops on is the winner.
Last night they put a chicken in the ring.



It did nothing so they brought out the backup chicken.  Now there were two chickens in the ring.

Still nothing happened so they got the second backup chicken—a rooster.

Finally-------POOP!!!! 

Number 56 was the winner.
This is done multiple times during the evening with greater gusto as the hour gets later.
We didn’t win.
PS: I was thinking-if the Catholics get tired of playing Bingo, this could be a great fund raiser.
