Perry:

I get it, being careful is never a bad idea. If it gives you peace of mind, so be it. To repeat what other have said often here..."as long as you're using them" it's all good to me. Sticking them in a crockpot with cream of mushroom soup is just fine with me as well.

The only reason I'm seemingly so-cavalier about these birds is the volume I deal with here. I'm the guide, cook and bottle-washer for alot of my time here, and I'm almost always the bird (& fish) cleaning guy for most everyone else here too.

I'd simply rather be having fun then working on birds all the time, so they're only mostly-perfect when they go into the freezer.
