    Shrink wrap bags for processed poultry

    If you cut the bird apart at the joints, carefully, you won't have sharp bits to poke holes. Try to avoid breaking bones. Also, don't leave the bag in the water for as long. This is what works for me when I bag rabbits. Try to layer the pieces so any sharper bits aren't next to the plastic.
