Mechanical pluckers are not perfect, probably had a few too many fingers break off and nobody caught it until after the batch was finished
I'd pluck them and cook it anyway. No need to waste the meat over what's ultimately a cosmetic only problem.

It's happened to me before, but I would just pluck the feathers. Can't waste meat like that. As annoying as it might be to hear, do remember those chickens were alive before.
I couldn't bring myself to pluck the thighs. There was just too much to do and it was going too slow.
Can't you just skin them and throw away only the skin?
You could have frozen them until you do have time to either a) fool with it yourself or b) find someone to give them to. I get wanting to be mindful of how our time is used, but binning them is wasteful of money, of resources, and of those lives.
Just pull the skin off, it takes just a few seconds
A bunch of chickens died for you to throw them away over some feathers, shame on you.
๐คทโโ๏ธ oh well. Wont happen again.
I mean it's not ideal, but at the end of the day its just chickens. You don't expect me to lose sleep over it do you?
Wasting a bunch of food, especially meat is pretty shitty.
we disagree on how shitty it is.
Takes like these are why climate change will kill us all.
My 5 lbs of chicken is a drop in the ocean. It'd be different if you caught me zooming around in a private jet.
Yes, exactly, that's the selfish attitude I'm talking about.
What did you do with them?
Oh, you know what they did.
Chicken fleshlight. Bit prickly still
Not a "bad" batch, just imperfectly plucked.
Just pluck the pin feathers yourself. It's not that big a hassle.
You're buying the corpses of animals. Don't be grossed out when your corpses are dead animals.
Don't throw away good food! Pluck it or give it to someone else.
If you don't want to pluck the feathers and you are still considering binning it- please give it to someone else instead. A neighbour, a relative, a friend, etc.
Just cook the chicken and eat it. You won't notice the feathers.
