Someone Is Using A Real Chicken To Hatch Pokemon Go Eggs

Pokemon GO might have some negative connotations attached to it from all the server stability issues, civilian accidents, and just overall craziness that the game seems to be the root cause of. Still, there should be some room in there to commend the creativity and ingenuity of all these would be Pokemon trainers.

Players have found a myriad of ways to speed up their journey through the game. Whether it be attaching the phone to a turntable, spoofing the GPS location, or going as far as to grab a laundry list of equipment that allows you to supersede your phone's GPS and instead use Google Earth.

As cool as those are, sometimes less is more, and that is certainly the case for Imgur user konecnymk (via Bored Panda). See, konecnymk happened to be near some chickens, and thought "hey! I have some eggs to hatch, so why not go the source!" He posted the picture on Imgur with the caption "There's something poetic about having a chicken hatch my eggs for me."

Sure enough, this little chicken (we'll call him Wendel) can be seen wearing what looks to be a chicken water rescue vest with a phone attached to the back of it. As Wendel walks around minding his own business all day, doing what chickens do, your digital Pokemon eggs continue to hatch since the phone senses movement. Granted, not everyone can do this, since you know, chickens, but still, pretty great idea.

Though to be honest, there really isn't any rush to get your level up, as even when you get to level 40, you don't seem to get much in return.
