Susie in CA Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Where does the hive keep the chicken while it is sitting in the salt mixture? I just don't know what to do with it now that we got in freezer bags. Thanks so much. Susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't know what to do with it now that we got in freezer bags. Thanks so much. Susie I kept mine in the laundry room...just in case it started to smell. It never did smell though. We've done the chicken twice and it was really fun for the kids! Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy in CO Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I kept mine on a high dividing wall between my kitchen and breakfast nook. It was high enough to not be accidently knocked over, but low enough for the kids to see from a step stool. Ours never stank either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie in CA Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Thanks! I guess, it will just be on a shelf somewhere. Now of to find one.... Susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinMominTX Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I keep mine in an empty cabinet in my kitchen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam101 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 LOL you ladies are brave. :D :iagree: I read that project to my husband and we both had the same reaction! "lets skip that one" LOL I promised my son we would flood the Nile, but grass seed has sky-rocked here, so that never happened either.

kls126s Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I was afraid it would smell so I just set the zippered bag in a 5 gallon bucket and put it in the garage. The kids went and checked on it often and it was easy to haul in and out for changes. It never did smell, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolash Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Ours stayed in the garage storage room. No problem with any odors. Now, Chester resides in our school room in a gold sarcophygus (sp??). He's inside a zip loc bag though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"lets skip that one" LOL I promised my son we would flood the Nile, but grass seed has sky-rocked here, so that never happened either. We didn't grow anything. We just saw how the potting soil was distributed over the sand from the overflow. We wrapped up a little aluminum foil mummy instead of actually mummifying something.

HSMom2One Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 You ladies certainly are brave! I would do it I suppose, but my dd is completely freaked out over the mummy topic in our ancient history study. She is very bothered by the pictures in our Usborne Encyclopedia to the point that I've had to place stickies strategically on several pages so she doesn't have to look at them. I think she totally lose her lunch if we mummified a chicken! :lol: Blessings, Lucinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie in CA Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) Lucinda, I totally understand you daughter. My ds8 had no interest in doing it. Ds 10 is the one who loves this type of project. He did it without his brother. Susie You ladies certainly are brave!

carlychan Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Mine never did smell. It just sat out on the counter until we got busy and had to leave it for a few months (well...6). It didn't really change anymore we just didn't have time to actually wrap it. We did do it right before we moved so the movers didn't question why we had a dead chicken in the kitchen:) It now looks like a cloth diapered chicken complete with safety pins holding on the the wrapping.
