Green?

[jaku]

I processed my Cornish X roosters this weekend. After killing/bleeding, I hung them by their feet for plucking. After a few minutes of hanging, one of the wings on one bird turned green- BRIGHT green. I cut into it and it was apparently just under the skin. I was thinking it might be bruising from flopping in the cone, but any thoughts would help. I cut the wing off and threw it away but saved the rest of the bird. I can post a pic if need be.

I would certainly be interested in seeing a pic...

Very strange

that does sound wierd. I can only think bruising too if it was just under the skin... I'd like to see a pic.

It sounds like a bruise, as you suspected. Un-oxygenated blood is blue with a green effect under the skin. Have seen the green on many a gamebird I have processed.
