“「捉黃腳雞」這個俗語是出自廣東的農村，當地農民專養母雞而少養公雞，因為母雞可以生雞蛋，農民可以拿去賣。但祭祀時卻需要公雞，而捕捉公雞的方法，就是農民先把穀子撒在門外，群雞就會跑來啄食（粵語把雞走動的動作稱為“雞咁腳”），當母雞在啄食時，公雞就“色心起”，懶得去吃穀子，撲上母雞身上交配，正是捕捉公雞最好的時候，公雞交配時疏於防範，農民抓住雞腳就行。因為公雞的雙腳呈深蛋黃色，而母雞的腳淺黃色，很容易辨認。後來就把以女性勾搭男性進行性行為然後勒索稱為’捉黃腳雞’”。
“This idiom has its origin in a village from Canton (Guangdong) province. While hens accounted for a vast majority of chickens farmers bred, a little amount of rooster was bred. Rooster was always sacrificed in worship. A way to catch roosters was to firstly scatter grains over the ground, attracting hens to peck at the grains. The presence of hens enticed roosters to mate with hens. While they were mating, roosters failed to be vigilant. It was the best moment for catching them, simply by taking hold of the roosters’ legs. Roosters are easily identified because their legs are darker in yellow than those of hens. ‘To catch a yellow-legged chicken’ is then used to mean ‘a trap in which a woman has enticed a man to have sex with her so that he will be blackmailed’.” Translated for the source above:
