How long should a chicken last for in a chest freezer ?

Question

because i put one in yesterday & it was dead this morning ?

Answer 1

You are one sick puppy and you need a slap.

Answer 2

Why would you put it in there? alive that's sick.

Answer 3

There are a number of variables:

the size of the chicken

its general health (presumably a sick chicken won't last as long)

its lung capacity

the efficiency of gas transferral in its lungs

the oxygen carrying capacity of its red blood cells

the temperature difference between it and the freezer temp.

its will to live (debatable, with a chicken)

the capacity of the freezer

the efficiency of the door seal

the possibility of a power cut (remote)

I'm sure there's more, so please chip in as you think of them!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

I put a body in there, but the kids had eaten the head before the 1st week of the holidays was through.. It has to see us through till September..

Then I'm going to get a really fat bugger for xmas..

Answer 5

Wrap it in a towel and put it somewhere out of the way for 3 or 4 days, should be just fine.

Answer 6

they will come back to life when they thaw out

Answer 7

Welcome return of VERY old joke.

Of course, now it's dead it will last for months and months.....

Answer 8

3 months.  If you don't cover meat (i.e. in cling film) then it gets freezer burn.

Answer 9

that would depend on the quality of the jacket  you gave it to wear! look at your star rating I think it should be something like three months
