I'm going to be unreasonably proud of myself if I end up picking the winner chicken here, I have to be honest with y'all.
You might end up being the winner winner (rubber) chicken dinner!

There have been a few threads over the years that I will never ever forget that have been lost to the ages due to past database issues, sigh.
Anyway, this thread is about the Lovecraftian horror which I have learned exists in the form of the rubber chicken; let's not risk the hastening of the tear in that veil by recalling prior experiments designed to approach it.
ceres on
And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn
My chicken arrived yesterday evening. It was not as floppy as I was expecting but it does appear to be made of actual rubber and I feel that I can fold it up without any concerns about damaging the material. It is still stiff enough that you could hold it carefully by the feet and it will stand up for pictures. In short it is probably the ideal compromise between what I was expecting and my wife's requirements for vacation pictures.
The down side is that Mrs. Tarnok is not on board with the new chicken. Our old chicken, Rupert McNugget, has already been on several trips with us and she feels that a replacement would be inauthentic. Looks like I'll be lugging the old chicken around the Virgin Islands after all .

well new things are scary. maybe you need to take a couple of smaller trips where you bring both chickens. Eventually Ole' Rupert may need to go to that free range upstate and it will be a smoother transition if Chicken McChickenFace has already been out a couple times. He may be different, but will have his own quirks
Perhaps a more productive angle would be to find a more convenient way to carry it rather than replace it? Given your destination that's a bit of a challenge though, I was thinking some sort of leg holster but that wouldnt work very well in shorts I think.

You should take them both along and take pictures with the both of them.
It's job shadowing. The new kid getting shown the ropes by the veteran on one last tour of duty.
Just never let Chicken McChickenface talk about his new wife and child, or Rupert McNugget talk about his retirement plans.
It can only end in tragedy.
Now I'm envisioning Rupert being eaten by a shark on our kayak outing two days before we return and gasping out "I only had two days to retirement..." as he slips beneath the waves.
On a related note, the chicken I mentioned having to return, they don't even want it back because the shipping would cost more than the chicken and they're just going to refund the money and let me keep the chicken. So...free chicken I guess.

Can we get a pic of these two chickens side by side as a comparison? Also you might want to buy some of the other chickens linked in the thread.

You know just in case.
Consider this an excellent time to start a rubber chicken review compendium/podcast.

I would listen to that podcast.

Now I'm tempted. I'm just not sure I can come up with more than ten minutes of talking about a rubber chicken and I think there aren't actually more than four or five different kinds.

This is an amazing plan to watch hatch, but I think if you're counting chickens already you might end up running around like your head's been cut off
Sometimes you just need to cross the road when you come to it - you'll never fly if you chicken out before the rubber meets the road
But if you pull this off, you'll be the real cock of the walk

I have a good friend who watches YouTube videos that do reviews of MREs. It's kind of oddly interesting watching someone do a detailed description of something you never thought you'd care about.

So this chicken has uh. Legs

I was thinking more of an arrow holster/strapped to your back type situation. Good for the quick draw on spontaneous selfies, and also somewhat out of the way for comfort reasons.

Rupert is the pretty one.
Maybe it's just me but I find them both attractive. The slender leftward chicken is as smooth as a slip-n-slide and the rough rightward chicken provides the friction to always get a grip on your chicken when you need one.
I cant tell which one is Rupert because they are both pretty. Left chicken looks like he's about to tell a silly joke. Right chicken looks like he takes things a bit too seriously.
My oldest got to experience Kooky Chicken in 1st grade. Kooky Chicken was a rubber chicken who was brought home by each kid for a week and they all had to update a shared journal of something they did with Kooky Chicken at home. No not that....like reading a story, watching TV or having dinner.

No offense but I put in the blood and sweat and time and effort and tears and internets to come up with my suggestions so I hope *I* win the day.
BOOOOOOOO

I hate you.

This is why we have two pockets.
