Freshness after processing

[TXChickenFarmer01]

How long can a freshly processed turkey stay in a cooler on ice before it has to go in the freezer? If I have my birds processed tomorrow (Wednesday) can they stay in the cooler or fridge until thanksgiving or do I need to freeze them after 3, 5, etc. days of resting in the cooler?

Usually it's 10 days to eat or freeze
