ND Bill said to direct that question to him.
He said he had the right answer to it.

It depends on what kind of hen it is. A hen turkey could weigh 10 pounds or more. A cornish game hen, on the other hand, may only weigh about a pound or a pound and a half.

In all seriousness now, that's a miniature stop sign that rusted through where it attached to the pole. The P.O. used to be a crosswalk guard.

Don't ask me, heck I didn't know anything about the great twine swindle! I'll have to ask my F-I-L about that.

Not that it matters...but I think I actually figured out what the PO used that hunk of rust for.....when I tossed it in the scrap heap it happened to land right on top of the under bed spare tire rack..the rust marks lined up with the old wheel...looks like the PO might have used it for a spacer or some crap?
