I can manage most of the kit, but having an awkward head shape I'm

Does anyone have tips on getting my cockscomb into place for the

If you what to accurately represent a chlorinated chicken, you need a
costume which makes you look like a plucked chicken, possibly even a
headless one. They dip the chickens after plucking ( and I think gutting)
in a very weak solution of chlorinated water, then a rinse bath etc. The
idea is to kill nasty beasts on the surface.

A similar process is used here to wash things like salad etc that goes into
prewashed bags of salad, fruit etc sold in shops.

So, in the interests of decency, probably best to just stick to being an
ordinary chicken ;-)

You also need to practice and American accent. AFAIK, the US is the only
country which uses the process, although, personally, I don't have an
issue with it.

Some years back, our eldest was studying in France and shared a flat
with another English student. They decided to buy a chicken for Sunday
dinner and went to an (excellent) market in Renne to buy a fresh
chicken. We'd taught our girls how to cook a roast dinner so eldest was
quite confident she knew what to do. However, she got a shock when she
opened the bag and discovered the head and neck were still attached.

I got a rather flustered phone call and had to explain that was quite
normal and she just needed to cut of the head and neck, discard the
head, boil the neck as she'd been shown with the giblets etc to make the
stock for the gravy. My wife insisted this was too gruesome for my
speech at eldest's wedding.

Basics of keeping chickens (small scale) and how to dispatch one and

If we were to get chickens now, I'd have to do some research to refresh
my memory on the theory side. The practical side is less detailed.
