That was a horribly powerful piece. My stomach knotted up just reading it. Brilliant.

Really a good piece, managing to combine horrific and humor. Nice job. -Cat Rambo

Just read the Tangent review, and decided to head over here and show some support by disagreeing with them. I thought you did a great job juggling the moral issues with the humor. Good job with the voice, too.
Pseudoscience or no, I felt it was a good read. Nice job!

Eh. this story felt like it wanted to be written by Connie Willis. But it didn't hold together for this reader.

Did anyone listen to "A Prairie Home Companion" this evening? (18 mar 06) Guy Noir dreams of a chicken company that develops a boneless chicken. Without feathers. With organs on the outside for easy processing. Without feet.
Of course I remembered this story.

But birds don't have sweat glands.

Yeah, the sweat glands were left over from an earlier edit when sweat glands and other 'glands,' and bits and bobs of other animals, like the ambergris that comes from the intestines of sperm whales, were added to the chickens, think how handy it would be to have it made by chickens instead of whales... and of course when I write 'handy,' I mean 'horrible,' anyway, when that stuff was cut the sweat glands got left in.
thanks for all of the comments, and I'm glad to clear up that 'sweat gland,' thing, as it keeps coming back... (now there's a good idea for a cheap horror movie, GIANT MUTATED SWEAT GLANDS ATTACK CITY!)
