Does anyone know where in Canada I could get a realistic looking whole chicken? Naked and raw.

I was looking for fake bread and searched online for "fake food"  and got a lot of sites.  They make fake everything.....the bigger and better the more the cost.....I need to make a big roast beast...either bird or pig ( I haven't decided) that can actually be torn up and thrown around for the "dining" scene in "Taming of the Shrew".  I have made other beasts before with flour/salt/oil dough....cook it...paint it...looks pretty good.  For this scene I am going to make a leg removable ( velcro?) so that it can be torn and tossed.  The "rubber chicken" joke isn't so far off.....get a joke chicken and use the skin over something more realistic.  You don't have to bite it do you?

First, let me just say I hate working with food on stage. I am constantly worried about germs and stains. Then if actors have to eat and talk at the same time there is a whole other set of problems...

Anyway, fake food is expensive, so we had to be creative when we did Christmas Carol. Thankfully the poultry doesn't have to be eaten or handled. It made it a little easier. What I did would never work if you had to handle the the poultry.  I took the plastic shrink wrap off real chickens, turkeys and ducks from the grocery store. The plastic holds it shape pretty well. I found the thicker the packaging and the tighter the shrink wrap the better it worked. I very carefull cleaned and sanitized the plastic. I then stuffed the package like a pillow and sewed it up. It took time to faux paint, but in the end I had a very realistic looking collection of plastic bag poultry. Piled on a cart and packed together with christmas greenery and some signs it worked great. I did a big turkey in a wicker laundry basket for the end.
