I have some muscovies that will be slaughtered in a couple of weeks. I was wondering if other poultry keepers here hang the meat or let it rest for 24 hours before cleaning and freezing
-
If you don't let it hang for at least 24hrs it'll be like eating wellington boots!

Cool thanks Sbom. Do you know what results i would get if i did the oposite to normal and freeze straight away and then leave to defrost slow, so they would rest post freezing instead of pre freezing
-
Do they have to be physically hung, or can they be put in the fridge for a couple of days?
-
I never hanged muscovies as never had suitable facilities, slow roasted young birds and they were fantastic, even too soft!
Only rested for a day in the fridge

In the end I slaughtered and skinned and stored them in the fridge for a couple of days.
So far they have been delicious :excited: very happy as I was worried it would have been a huge waste of time :&>
