Yes, I know the answer to my following question is: Try it and see.
I'm wondering if anyone has tried it.
I wonder what would happen if I took some feathers (we feed the birds
so there have to be feathers around the feeders) and put them over or
under a glaze and then fired the pots. Would the feathers do anything?
Would the anything be interesting?
Anyone out there done any experiments?

I've had chicken barbequed, deep fried, baked, boiled, sauteed, stir
fried, shish-kebobbed -- but I've never had kiln-fired chicken!
much love

I think they will Deb. Both under a clear glaze or set over a glaze. Am
not sure about it, as haven't tried this but believe i've read that it will
work.
On the other hand, i'm quite certain, this technique will work in raku.
It's just like horsehair, applied after firing, removing pot, attaching
feather, then into the raku bin.
Are you going to try it ???

Deb,
Take the feathers and lay them out so they are easy to pick up. Put a
bisqued pot in a kiln and bring it up to 1100-1200 degrees, pull the pot,
and apply feathers. Having a set of needle-nose pliers and heavy leather
welding gloves helps get the feathers into position. This is an adaptation
of the horsehair method. Long feathers work better. And, yeah, feathers
don't smell so good when they are burning, so this is best an outside
activity.
I have also tried the foregoing with an aluminum foil saggar/ferric chlorid=
e
technique and feathers. I guess I didn't get the feathers in there right
because I saw nothing from them at unwrapping. Ferns left a ghosted image
on the pot however.

Call me a Michigan Hillbilly, but I was taught that if you kill't it.
You ate it.
Not only did this Jack A$$ loose his temper, he wasn't man enough
to clean and cook the chicken.

DJ and all,
Yes, there is such a thing as a kiln baked chicken. Just wrap a spiced =3D
up
chicken in a slab of clay, seal completely and put into the kiln. I =3D
remember
when Toshiko gave a workshop at the Campbell Folk School during my =3D
tenure
there, and she made such a chicken concoction and put it in the kiln. I
don't recall if it went into a bisque kiln or the details, but it sure =3D
was
nicely done and after cracking the clay shell off, it also tasted great.
