LOL, yes, dead animals can bruise, just like blood pools on a dead critter.
My birds are not allowed to panic, I try to be as quiet, easy and slide the bird down the killing cone, remove head and allow to bleed out. Now the birds still have enough blood to ooze when you move to the dunking stage. My water is only hot enough where I can put my hand in and I have sensitive hands, so its not scalding.
When the critter is first placed in some of these pluckers, when the meat is crushed, what blood is in the capilaries can cause marking on the skin.
Don't know how, but it was a bit rough for what I feel is that age bird. Technically they are still chicks.
Atleast this is my opinion, I do not know why it did what it did, but there were no skin tears, but there were a lot of broken legs, wings and no bleeding from those.
I do understand what you mean by no blood if no heart beats. That is how it is when dealing with humans, but even a steak is bloody, you will have blood ooze if you tenderize it with the hammer thingy- LOL
