Chicken God - how does a stone with a hole work?

Maybe you know what the Chicken God is, or maybe you've heard this phrase. Chicken God is a famous talisman that attracts health and happiness. It is a pebble with a through hole, appearing in the mineral as a result of weathering - mechanical destruction by water and wind.

Such stones often occur along the banks of water bodies. It is believed that someone who has found such a mineral, will be accompanied by luck.

It was believed that a stone suspended in a hen house or a cowshed with a hole would save poultry and farm animals from evil spirits: the kikimor and the brownies. According to the beliefs of the ancient Slavs, such evil spirits harmed chickens, horses and other farm animals. A kikimora or a housekeeper could send a case or organize an attack of wild animals.

Instead of a stone for protection of a stable, any household item with a through hole could use: a holey bast, a pot with a broken bottom. Such Chicken God guarded livestock, watched to ensure that the offspring was abundant and healthy, protected animals from thieves.
