You need some device advice or some chicken choking? Different things. ---

I took it to mean he needed advice on a device intended for the purpose of chicken choking. I also presumed he was using the term “chicken choking” in an idiomatic manner. I could be wrong. My advice stands. Use lots of Astroglide. It was also a pun on the OP’ers username. Rather witty, I thought. Nobody appreciates me. ---

Devices don’t choke chickens, _people_ choke chickens. ---

While we’re waiting for the OP to reappear, I recommend a beheading. There’s something surreal about watching your dinner fly six foot in the air with no head 😃 . ---
