Searching for a particular book- help?!

[Camellian]

Hello fellow fans,

I recently read an article about artificial meat production etc and I remembered reading a dystopian novel wherein the protagonist (I think it was a woman) discovered a laboratory where a huge artificial chicken was grown which only consisted of wings and thighs I think, but definitely haven't had a head and / or the capacity to think. I remember the language depicting it as something vile and horrifying and I would love to reread the passage again, but I can't think of which book it might have been.

Anyone here has a clue? Thanks a lot!

In short: Name of the book in which there is a giant artifical headless chicken

I'd love to use this as a contrast in school and would be delighted if someone could help!

Cheers!

Might you be thinking of ChickieNobs from Oryx and Crake?

It's funny...I thought of that, but couldn't remember what they were called in the book...what a great trilogy...

I can’t figure out how to start my own thread so I’ll just post this here and hopefully one of y’all will know but... I need help finding a book. I believe it’s a dystopian novel. Two of the main characters were needing to have a private conversation and they were in public. They used a “cone of silence” or something similar so no one could hear them. The device was clear so they could still be seen just not heard. I believe they were in a political venue and they were plotting a murder or something devious. Does this ring a bell to anyone? Thanks

Gosh, I really looked for an answer for this. All I can find is the Get Smart series, lol. But I'm posting to follow because now I need to know! ;o)
