Nope, wouldn’t want to risk it. Plus I don’t eat chickens period.
Would you eat a chicken that died through sickness, or injury?

I'll start out by saying I haven't read the whole thread. Since you're asking for opinions and not advice, I'll chime in and read the thread later when I have time.
It depends. I wouldn't eat a chicken that I know is ill. If it looks bad, has been dragging around for days, or not moving, whatever - if I know it's sick, I really don't want to eat it. I don't care if cooking will destroy whatever is making it sick, I don't care if I'm not in danger of getting it. It's the "yuck factor". Nope. Only good, quality chicken for me. Yep, I'm fussy. (Or that special - however you want to look at it
) I may or may not eat an injured chicken. Again, it depends. If, say, its leg was injured as Ridgerunner was talking about, and it's a fresh injury - not something where infection has already set in, I'd consider it. I can just remove that part and be done with it. If it's something that may have a lot of puncture wounds from teeth or talons.... I'm not that hungry. I don't think I would. We had a mink kill several chickens last summer. DH found them. All were dead but one, and he put that one down. My first question was, "Why didn't you butcher her?" The mink had killed them by ripping the backs of their heads off. No meat was affected. I was thinking of the wasted meat. He said he just didn't feel like it.

See BF and I grew up on farms folks bought 200 feeders a year at 3 months neighbors came had butcher days did them all that day BF had to help when they had some we are old now I would my vision or lack there of not safe we take them to auction if we are done with them or extra cockerels
Ehhh...I'd take that with multiple grains of salt, it's mostly written by the public. Have seen some excellent entries, and some that are total BS.
I agree. Wickipedia is not the first place I'd look for important information. Food related, I'd look first toward my state and county extension services.
x2 here.
Plus, Wiki is going out of business. Lack of funds.

I added a Wikipedia topic once. Lost interest; now it sits there with some inaccurate info. I don't care. Interesting concept, but the reality sucks. They're really bad about censoring viewpoints they don't like.
