PLEASE HELP WITH PROCESSED CHICKEN WARNING DON'T LOOK IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH VERY GRAPHIC

[Burns Homestead]

I just processed a 4 year old rooster that has been fighting with the other roosters and tearing my girls up. Looks like hes been beat up pretty bad to he has puncture on his side and all over his back.

Yes it was pretty bad Is eatable or no The brown spot above the green spot on his back looks like cooked meat already


That is a huge puncture and is bloody in the meat.,.

Please Help and dont say anything hateful

I'd cut out the bad looking parts and eat the good looking parts, but that's just me. If he was fighting, he's bruised up and I would expect that pooled blood wouldn't be good. If you have any doubts, I'd pass on eating it. You could feed it to the chickens.....

Thats what I was wondering too. So the legs and breast and I will get rid of the back

legs and thighs are probably fine. The upper part of the breast looks fine, too. Make sure to cool "well done".

I'm with TrudyG - cut out what looks good and save it - dispose/compost/feed to animals/etc the rest.

Thank you everyone Ive never fed meat to chickens before do you give it to them raw?

 

[canesisters]

I'd cook it first.

I'd cook it and feed it to my dog.

never feed cooked bones to dogs as an fyi. But I would def cook it up and feed it to the chickens.
