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

i also need raw chicken, among other raw poultry and other fake food... im doing "a christmas carol" the musical, and there are many a fake food to find... if anyone knows any sites id be most grateful to know them...

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.
