Your link doesn't work, do you have a copy of it?

It doesn't? Looks fine to me. Try this.

Paste the link into your address bar to view the image.

Is that hebrew on the chicken's belt?

That one worked, but the server refuses direct image requests from other place, so your first one was fuxored.

Did you mean to link to the egg thing? It looks like someone's idea of a piece of art. What about it is not-to-be-believed?

If it is a sculpture, as it seems, I'd like to know where it is or who made it.

If anyone can translate the Hebrew, bonus points.

it may be the bible verse about winged fowls (in Genesis, when God's creating everything)

(the Jewish answer to Which Came First? is chicken, because of that)

Lessee ... I think it says "This is offered in exchange for me; this is my ransom; this is my atonement. This money will go to charity and I shall find a long pleasant life of peace."

Ahem. Do I still get the bonus points? 'Cause I totally want to get to the next level on this thing.

Here's some more information about the ceremony the piece is based on. I used to do this every year, and it's still widely practiced in Orthodox Jewish communities.

In Jersusalem, they'll ritually slaughter the chicken while-u-wait.

That's Jerusalem, of course, although the place is slightly Geisel-esque in some ways...
