Common sense would say that back when people baked their own bread, they had a bread pan that had crumbs or burnt on pieces on the bred pan and gave it to the chickens to peck clean. I don't know if that's right or not, but it makes sense.

I've heard it all my life as, "Picking out dough", but I don't know where it came from. I think it was here before I was and I'm 78.

I remember the phrase from square-dance callers long before I even thought about playing music. I heard it as “picking up dough,” and I’ve always thought it referred to raw chicken being rolled in flour, etc. prior to frying. I was an urban child, and it never occurred to me that. It might mean live chickens.
