I am so happy to know that this is for a matched pair of wings and a matched pair of legs. Last time I purchased baby chick parts, I was sent a sack of limbs that clearly came from four different animals. My franken-chicken came out lopsided, and the villagers laughed instead of screaming in horror.

I posted this over on the FB fan page…
i went to an animal sanctuary in FL once that had lots of birds of prey, reptiles and stuff- they fed dead baby chicks to them. basically, some farmers i guess just “discard” the male chicks b/c they can’t lay eggs. so i am guessing that is where she got this from.

Yes, tattoo artists will practice on a variety of mediums before turning their needles to human flesh. I’ve seen orange peel, thawed chicken breast (like you’d cook for dinner), synthetic flesh, thick latex, semi-cooked turkey breast, and pigskin, which out here in San Diego, you can buy at a ton of different ethnic markets. I agree with the tenet of not wasting the animal, but damn…there are large snakes and reptilian predators at zoos and breeders that will eat the entire baby chick.

People die, plants die, animals die. It is called the cycle of life. Not to far from here we had a bunch of PETA members, who admitted it, let loose mink oin a farm and hundreds of them dies on the highways and I am sure as another animal’s meal. There are laws when it comes to animals who die as to what is acceptable and what is not.

It is a fact that I have more Hog Lots as neighbors then i do neighbors, I want to make it clear I don’t factory farm. It is naturaul and normal for our cats to loose one or two baby’s. It is naturaul for the chicks to not all survive- usually around 40-50% do and then- even in a barn other animals get to them and eat them. The cycle of life.

I can understand the appeal of dead animals. I think it’s natural. I remember, in jr. high school, my friend found a dead squirrel. For some reason it occurred to her to put it in her freezer. Some people’s minds just work differently.

Thank you veg Detroit for sharing with us what you did with a dead animal. Although interesting- we don’t do that here.
Is there anyone? at all? Who lives on any good soil that has a few animals? Our pasture is around 300 acres- river pasture we have 2 horses on their saved from jackasses who did not feed or brush or allow them to roam properly. They come up to anyone now and are the right size and not stuck in a small area. The cows will go in soon after the calfs are born.

This shop just ruined a perfectly good Lindt chocolate bar.
She’s also selling a sparrow’s tail. Does she drive around with a spatula & rubber gloves, scanning for road kill?

Some endangered creatures are illegal to scrape up but I didn’t have the stomach to explore her profile.

I eat meat, but not chicken. That aside, this is not gross because of what it is or where it comes from, but for the suggested uses…jewelry making. So gross. What happened to etsy people loving cute, cartoon birds? These trends seem highly incompatible.

While I heartily LOL’d at the chicken in a wheelchair, I felt the need to register and stick up for the seller. She’s someone who I’ve known around town for years, and really is legit. She’s one of the most renowned taxidermists in the world, and I can assure you that she isn’t some creep who abuses animals! Funny listing, funny picture, but please don’t be angry about her listing. I’m a vegetarian animal lover, so I wouldn’t say this if I didn’t know it to be true.

Late to the party, as usual, but wanted to say to RCB: I don’t think anyone disputes that animals live and animals die. But acknowledging that is a far cry from ripping (or even cutting up) a newborn chick to sell its parts on etsy. This is stupid, not amusing and makes me think someone has more than a few screws loose.

For what it’s worth, I understand where Recovering Crack Baby is coming from. It IS possible to raise animals humanely on a non-factory farm and still eat and utilize them. In fact, my *personal* opinion is that doing so gives far more respect to the animal than just plain not eating them. I’m a former vegetarian, and strongly for animal rights, but I think PETA is a bunch of maniacal misguided fuckwits, just like I think factory farms are disgusting, & vile. Both abuse animals.

Continued: I am pretty certain that the seller in question did NOT in fact kill or dismember this chick herself. That’s not what taxidermists do. They process animals killed/hunted/etc. by other people.
So, yeah, this listing is seriously WTF, but I am not personally morally outraged by it. I’m just kind of squicked out, more than anything.

the uppity tofu fueled snarker that lies inside me initially wanted to cram this redneck full o kale for slaughtering innocent little chickies.. then, I looked at her site, and I realized that this is a real artiste with a flare for the bizarre. its cool that shes sharing her materials and yes, there are people out there that could make some freak-ay miniature sculptures outta this stuff… She got my respect, and if my kitty ever dies I’ll know who to call.

Ok, true confession. I make unladylike snorting laughs when caught unawares. This item was definitely good snorting material. When I scrolled down to the little disabled poncho chick …. let’s just say I’m glad I wasn’t at work. Thanks for my healthy laugh for the day.

PS if you’re an artist out there I bet at some point you’ve used TOTALLY inorganic materials to make your crap.. we all have, come on now.. not to be a bummer but the long term consequence for producing these weird chemicals is *gasp* killing animals.. pollution, decimation of habitat, etc.. so maybe you’re not mincing chicken feet while you club baby seals but c’mon, nobody’s innocent

So if I find a dead bird, I can simply hot glue it to a safety pin, spray it with a little Febreeze, and sell it on Etsy as a broach?

Once again I am a day late and a dollar short.

I fell even more strongly about my reasons for giving up eating chicken this week. After not reading but merely hearing that guy on TV who wrote the book “EAting Animals” I imagine i will feel even more strongly once i actually read it.

Apart from that, i hope the chicken magler tagged correctly and put it under “Supplies”

i also hope teh shop gets removed. This is vile.

Kurt- wheelchair cosied chicken – what a fucking brilliant job, i nearly wet my pants, i mean, skants

I think these really make a statement. Of course, that statement is, “The Easter Bunny is dead, kids!”

I wonder if I can get express delivery in time for Easter….
