Is this a reference to putting salt on a hen's tail to make the bird run? (When I was a lad there was a brand of table salt called Cerebos. The tin bore a picture of a young boy chasing after a chicken while trying to sprinkle salt on it )

babthrower Diamond Enthusiast	Posted Hide Post Well, jeese, guys, if you can get close enough to put salt on its tail, you can surely grab the darn bird. Do you know how to tickle a trout? Probably not.
