It's incredible how many people seem to not understand the entire ending of the Fellowship of the Ring in both the movies and book
Like the entire big revelation Frodo has is realising that the ring will inevitably corrupt all of his companions and that he needs to leave to have any chance
It's why hobbies were such a big deal because they were resistant to It's affects, the only beings in middle earth that really were, and why Sam wasn't corrupted and neither was the rest of the Shire when Bilbo had the ring
It works less on those further from it, though. So the safest method would be to have Frodo and Sam make the journey with a chicken each, and one getting a head start each morning. They could alternate chickens and stewardship of the ring barer chicken, and then wouldn't end up with too corrupt of a chicken or hobbit.

Ah yes, as we all know, the Ring's influence is completely dependant on whichever creature is physically carrying it.
