Quote: I can't see my dh shaking a bird in his mouth trying to "loosen" it up. Seriously, thank you all for the suggestions. I agree this thread has run it's course. Thanks to all for the humor and the good advice.

now that is funny.

Quote: I doubt dh would want to hold one while it was trying to flap it's wings and blood gushing out.

Quote: Well, I finally found the info I needed in Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens. LOL You were right Tipsy! chickens should "rest" for a day or so in the fridge before freezing to let the muscles relax. Darn!! We will know the next time! Everyone's suggestions were great!

thank you but we put them immediately into a cooler with ice water in it for a couple hours and then into the freezer and they stayed like that. I thawed one roo out to cook about a week later and the legs still were like that? I don't even want to cook them now.

I know this sounds awful, but our neighbor helped my dh butcher some turkeys and roos. The legs of all of them are sticking straight out and I am not able to bend them? What happened??
