1/2 my new flock died during the travel...can I eat them?

Never eat any animal that has died of itself. The dogs on the other hand might enjoy it.

I probably wouldn't have eaten it, but ewwww factor is the only justification since it was a common practice at one time. Saw a great post on my favorite food blog a while back about "high game": http://honest-food.net/2008/11/27/on-hanging-pheasants/
