I read somewhere if you see yellow fluid come out of the bird when you butcher it you should throw it out. Does anyone know what this is and why it is bad to eat. I am getting ready to butcher four of my cornishes and am curious about this. I haven't ever had this problem but I have only butchered one before so not much experience yet. Just really would like to know what causes this. I come from a family of hunters and we never ate any animal that was sick so I know not to, still would like to know what causes this. Does anyone know?
