Chlorinated Chicken costume. Advice needed
Mike Halmarack wrote:
Having overdosed on quack virus cures (in anticipation of the future need...), I had the notion to try my cluck at DIYing a Chlorinated Chicken costume. This as part of my plan to perform "Let's all sing like the birdys sing" for my granddaughter via Skype. I can manage most of the kit, but having an awkward head shape I'm finding it difficult to get a pink rubber glove stretched onto my skull. Does anyone have tips on getting my cockscomb into place for the event? Oil? Soapy water? Or, something more craftsmanlike? 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 ;-) -- https://www.unitedway.org/our-impact...an-trafficking |

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. -- https://www.unitedway.org/our-impact...an-trafficking |

It isn't something I've done since but I'm sure I could, if I needed to. Mate of mine used to do it regularly. Then one time she was chopping the head off one when the Joveys came calling. She came around the side of the house with the flapping headless chook in one hand, spurting blood. For some odd reason the Joveys never came calling again. |
