Processed 20 x today. Finished 8:30 am added more ice and never added water.I did add ice to all cavity packing full of ice. I go and check 12 hours later and ice didnt really melt enough to submerge birds. I checked temp on 4 birds near the top and all about 47°. I just filled with water and more ice. Should I be concerned with bacteria as it was probably a slow cool down? Should I add salt to water ? I really dont want to lose everything now. I also dont want anyone sick. Birds are stiff too. Ones at bottom were alot colder closer to 35°. There isnt a foul smell. I would imagine this is a similar method to refrigerate after butcher where the cold air helped.
Any thoughts?
