18" Rubber Chicken

I have seen, usedand given rubber chickens as presents and this is one of the higher quality rubber chickens I have ever come across it is an amazing rubber chicken it is everything chip rubber chicken enthusiast is looking for but I will give this number chicken 5 stars because of its ability to make people laugh the quick delivery and just the overwhelming joy that it brings my friends and peers. I hope the folks working in the Amazon factory it is packed in and sent it to me have as much joy placing it carefully in the box and run it the hundred meters to the shipping facility. Rubber chicken kill floors must much nicer than working in an actual chicken kill floor. It is probably like working at a build a bear workshop.

I ordered a rubber chicken from this seller as a Christmas gift for my son. Who would have thought anyone could be disappointed in a rubber chicken?!? It's not like you really expect much. However, the chicken arrived folded and stuffed into too small of a box and ripped and it was very poor quality. It's worth (in good condition) maybe 5 bucks.Incidentally, you should be aware before considering purchasing this product that they use the term "rubber" loosely. It is hard, cheap plastic. Do NOT expect anything with any wiggle or play it it. It is hard and stiff. So stuffing something cheap, hard and stiff into too small of a box will...gasp!...cause it to rip!Which is what happened. The chicken had a rip across the middle of its body, just under the wings where it had been bent for shipping. I contacted the seller and wrote this:"Hi there. I just received the rubber chicken I ordered, however, upon opening it, I discovered it had a large tear. I'm disappointed in the quality of this item. It was stuffed into the box at an angle (which is what seems to have caused the tear). This would have been fine if it was actually a rubber chicken, but it's not. It's actually a HARD PLASTIC chicken. Please advise as to what my options are. I would like to still have it if I can get another in time for Christmas. Otherwise I would be happy to return it for a refund. Thanks."This was the extent of the reply I got from the seller:"yea thats the whole idea of the trick, the rubber chicken is a magic trick where the egg comes out of the chicken through the holeif you didnt know what the classic rubber chicken was you can send it back for refund"Amazing! So this is the response I sent back:"Wow. Are you trying to get bad feedback by insulting me? Honestly? I know for a fact that rubber chickens are NOT supposed to come with a rip in the middle of the body. This is not an intentional hole. This is along the fold of where it had been stuffed into the box. Do you think I'm 12 and have never seen a rubber chicken before? Again, wow.And incidentally, a classic rubber chicken is a prop. Not a magic trick where an egg comes out of a ripped whole across the chicken's body. I'm not an idiot and don't appreciate being insulted by you telling me that your defective merchandise is "the whole idea of the trick."I would be happy to return this product to you and never do business with you again. I will NOT, however, pay for return shipping for what was overpriced to begin with. Given how unprofessional your response was, I'm starting to doubt that if I returned it, I would even get the refund. So, unless you have any better ideas that don't involve insulting your customers, I'll keep the ripped chicken and show it to everyone, and leave appropriate and honest feedback (in other words, BAD) for your company every time I find a place to do so.Good luck staying in business."I have filed a claim with Amazon OVER A RUBBER CHICKEN! I can't believe it. But regardless of what the item is, it's my belief that you should still not get insulted over the fact that you are asking for a replacement to a defective item. Also, according the the seller's own return policy, it was stated that they would send an authorization code that must be sent with the item upon return, which I did not get.Incidentally, out of astonishment, I did research on the whole rubber chicken gag thing, and rubber chickens are props intended for slap stick and practical jokes, NOT for some egg to come out of a rip along a seam from being folded and stuffed into a box.So be careful ordering ANYTHING from this seller (also known as Dave Long). Doing business with him is a nightmare. The only magic involved with this rubber chicken is to watch your money disappear!

This item superbly performed all the functions necessary for a rubber chicken. It was well decorated with authentic chicken anatomy (well, the clean parts), was effectively defeathered and durable. Because of its elongated shape it would fit easily in a mailing tube, and can be folded without damage for more compact packaging. This item was accepted with highest approbation by the recipient of the Millenial Rubber Chicken Award for outstanding performance in solving a hardware-software-networking problem from 1,000 miles away without access to the computer, by asking the right questions and building a mental model which actually applied to the situation at hand. Hey, it was cheap too.

Got this chicken to put in a big soup pot we gave as a wedding gift! It was deeply appreciated and we are waiting for the next practical joke from the newlyweds!I cannot speak to its durability or educational value! But as the granddaughter of a rancher who kept a large number of chickens, I can state emphatically that it lacks realism. It has no actual feathers and neither lays eggs nor crows at dawn. It does not attack those trying to fetch eggs from under its behind and does not scratch in the dirt for bugs. But as an inert chicken, it really does not need to do those things.Is it really rubber, or is it plastic?I might also add that I am much too young to remember the original rubber chicken! Much too young.

I ordered this as a gag gift and was expecting to receive the rubber chicken shown. What was sent to me is bigger, measuring 23 inches from beak to talon, but the quality isn't all that great. First off, the chicken was made in two parts - the body up to base of the neck and the neck along with the head separately. The neck alone is about six inches long. It appears they were then glued together and already they're coming apart. It's not in bad shape, just a little lip is separated, but it's still makes me wonder why they'd make a rubber chicken in two pieces. Secondly, the body has caved in on itself, so the shape of a chicken, those still distinguishable, is all smooshed down and flattened. I tried to bow it back out, but it just molds back to its deflated state.This just isn't the same rubber chicken shown. it has black eyes and eyebrows, no red shading near the ear holes nor the wings, the talons are different, the wings are different, and the beak halves, rather than bowing in as the ones displayed do, bend outward. It is nearly two feet long though, and its quality will probably make it even funnier to the person who gets stuck with it.EDIT - 11/2012 - After looking for this year's rubber chicken, it appears I've found the item mine got switched with copy the link if you wish to see it. - http://www.amazon.com/BWacky-Giant-Rubber-Chicken/dp/B004I07B82/ref=sr_1_26?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1352449957&sr=1-26&keywords=rubber+chicken
