Sometimes though, life presents you with a non-living rubber chicken and you just have to make the best of it. Boris: On the whole, I’d tend to agree with Natasha about free-range rubber chickens.

You're quite right about the risks associated with the temperature rising (and it's for this reason that my fridge has redundant thermal sensors, a diesel backup generator and reinforced steel doors), but it's a very delicate balance. If the temperature in fridge should fall too low, I could conceivably find myself face to face with the abominable snow chicken.

Natasha says she would rather leave it a free-range rubber chicken. I'm afraid she's got me there.

The refrigerator isn't cold enough for the chicken. Keeping it in the refrigerator you run the risk of it thawing, and regaining consciousness. And then you might have an angry, undead, rubber chicken on your hands. Not a good situation. I'm sure I've read a news story about this somewhere. You should keep it in the icebox.
