Thank you Beekissed and Chocolate Moose. The only thing I did different when processing the birds was let them sit over night on the table to dry before shrink wrapping them. I was told that the taste would be amasing if I let them age. So, I suppose they were sitting out from their last rinse about 24 hrs. I started in the AM for processing.They get defeathered and gutted right away....4 at a time. Then they get put in a tub of water to start cooling them down. After the 40 were processed, they went into a new bucket of clean cool water so that I could move themy closet to the house. Then they went up through house for limb removal and final rinse. Again, they were only out of cool water for the longest of 18-24 hrs. Some flies for get to a couple sticking up out but I made sure I rinsed thoroughly for any possible rmeaning "fly anything". The meat is not making us sick. I will try the brine and let you know how it goes. It is too late to try to "detox" them.
