do i have bleed my birds

[wyoDreamer]

I believe that not bleeding out the meat gives it a much stronger, gamey taste.
I hate when I find blood clots in my store bought chicken. yuck!

Blood affects the keeping-ability of the meat. If you don't bleed the bird out, the meat will go off a lot quicker.
There's not really any way around it.
Cervical dislocation allows the meat to bleed out into the neck cavity, so it doesn't have to be external bleeding (FYI).

After dislocating how long do you hang it to let blood drain into neck cavity?

I wait until it stops moving, it takes a few minutes.
