Do I need to wash the birds before I cook them? No, cooking at the right temperature is the safest way.
My bag is open, is this normal? Yes, this is so the bird doesn't sweat.
My bird smells? This is completely normal, due to the natural growth of the bird without pesticides. Organic meat tends to have a stronger smell than conventional as we do not use any preservatives either.
Are the Goose products, organic? No, they are raised to the same standards, including feed, but not certified due to the land they are kept on not being certified yet.
