Good afternoon, Everyone. I'm looking for some top-notch rubber chickens. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. The common oriental trading/I-party chickens are miserable... archie mcphee seems to make a decent one. Anyone have any other suggestions?

One year Santa brought me one of those rubber chickens that emits a piercing, blooding-curdling scream when you squeeze it. (I think he got it at Spencer Gifts). That's my favorite "talking" rubber chicken, but maybe that's not what you want.

I just ran down to the clown room to take inventory of my rubber chickens. Most of them are the kind you can fold up and pull out of your sleeve, but they don't say who their manufacturer is. They seem like pretty well-constructed birds, although I'm not sure what differentiates a cheap Oriental Trading rubber chicken from a top-notch, quality one. I think the ones you get from Clown Antics or any other clown shop are fine.

What are you going to do with it?

Primarily, modify for use as juggling props. I had a great rubber chicken about 10 years ago, hand-painted, with bulging rubber eyes... really nice, but my ferret ate it. Crazy ferret. It disappeared, i found it some months later half-eaten in her cache with various socks and assorted cat crunchies. Wish i had thought to write down the manufacturer, I remember it being molded into the chicken.

Crazy ferret indeed!

Those little squishy rubber chickens might be nice for juggling, although not as visible from a distance.

I'm looking for something with a lot of visibility! I did come across some nice rubber fish and even a rubber pig! I may have to order these! Hahahahaha!

Loftus manufactures the "Original Rubber Chicken" which sells for about $10. That might be good enough for what you need.

Have you tried putting the batteries back in?

Christopher Clown
05-28-2008, 09:24 PM
mine wasn't battery operated... you just squeezed him and due to the air going through the throat he squaked...

I guess silence is a virtue... He always whispers to me. And I do get a kick out of telling people why he is so shy... Its because he is afraid of Col. Sanders.

... "The other day I asked Col. Sanders,'Why did the chicken cross the Road?' Col. Sanders, replied saying 'You mean I missed one????'"

Is that the chicken you were smooching in your old avatar?

Christopher Clown

why yes... That is Howard... however he wasn't smooching me... he was moreorless attacking my nose...

I just read in a different thread that somebody was looking for a "clowny wife." Maybe all they need is a life-sized rubber chicken!

Wow, is THAT cool! I know what I'm asking for from Santa this year.

If I remember right, it was billed as a "rubber chicken," but it was really made of yellow fabric. If anybody is handy with a sewing machine...

Would you believe I actually ran across it without even looking for it?

All right Happy... HOW do you you just happen to "run across" a giant rubber chicken "without even looking for it?"

I googled "clown props," and there it was! I wasn't specifically looking for "giant rubber chickens."

Okay, it's not like I was looking for "Kennedy Center National Opera" and found it, but still, I just stumbled across it. Must be these big shoes...

Who needs a blow up clown when you have a life sized rubber chicken.

Two years ago I got the screaming rubber chicken in my Christmas stocking. I'm definitely putting the farting chicken on my wish-list for this year. It's never too early to start dreaming!

I work at the hospital on the Fort Campbell Army post, home of the 101st Airborne Division, known as the "Screaming Eagles". When the folks I was teaching how to clown "graduated", I gave each of them a screaming rubber chicken!

Rubber chickens are also available from Amazon.com...you can have a squawking chicken, a 21" rubber chicken, a flingshot chicken...the possibilities and laughs are endless. The rubber chicken key chain sure makes my keys easier to find in big bags! I love rubber chickens. 8-)

Two things always make me smile...rubber chickens and the Charlie Brown theme song. Must haves in my daily life... By the way, they make other people smile when they hear/see them. Good times had by all.

Wow... as happy as I was with the selection and prices on that website, shipping to Canada TRIPLED the price of my order... I guess I need a closer supplier than that, 'cause going from $30 to $90 is just not a good deal.

Looks good for people in the US though.

If you are going on a plane trip, be sure to pack a rubber chicken in case they search your bags. I went on a trip a few months ago and considered packing one but decided against it when I was packing and the bag was filling up. I was so disappointed when I was searched at the airport. An opportunity missed!

I'll bet my fake TNT would make a big hit in the search line. Got to have it for explaining the fastest way to blow up a balloon.

I don't know where to get top notch rubber chickens, generally bog-standard rubber chickens are just as good, I have two cheap ones I bought from a second hand store 4 years back, they're great for clowning and one squeaks when you punch it!

Do you think I could commision you to make one of those little jester wands for me? The ones with the mini jester head on the end? I would love the fabric to be purple, green and orange and for the face paint to have my clown make up (which you can see in my album)?

How much would you charge for something like that?

Well ofcourse I would do that, the price will depend on the cost of the material and shipping! contact me on my regular email bizkuttheclown@yahoo or bizkut@biskutsworld.com, I want to get some more details from you, but keep in mind, I will be doing this more for fun then to make any money so it will not cost you much at all!
