Poultry Shrink Bags - 50 Clear 10" x 16" for Whole Chickens or Rabbits w/ 50 zip ties included / 2.5 Mil/Freezer Safe/Commercial Grade/BPA/BPS Free

I have used these bags multiple times for bagging up my chickens. They work great and keep a good strong hold on the birds. You should be aware that they are great for chickens and rabbits as advertised, but it is a tight fit for pekin ducks. That is not a fault of the bags in any way.

Very nice and professional looking wraps. Much easier and quicker than vacuum bags. I just wish this seller had larger sizes. These were great for my 2 to 4 pound chickens, but I also raise 5 to 8 pounders and turkeys as well.

These bags worked great for packaging whole cornish cross. Perfect fit for most of our birds who were in the 5-6 lb range. The bags were a bit snug with the occasional 7+ pound bird. Would definitely buy again.

the bags worked ok. But almost too small for some of our chickens and didn't come with enough zip ties and the ones that it did have were week I'm 71-year-old women and pulled the ends off a few trying to tighten them

These bags make processing our chickens so quick and easy. They shrink tightly around the bird, and seal well. I haven’t had any problems with freezer burn.

I watched a lot of videos on shrink bags for chickens. These bags are big enough to allow you to arrange the chicken, so it fits properly into the bag. However, I did have one chicken that was not arrange properly, but the bag did not pop ever with a sharp bone sticking out from the body of bird. Every bag shrank to the body of birds. The videos all stated that you needed to hold the birds under water for 5 to 10 seconds, but we found it was best to hold the birds under water for at least 8 to 10 seconds for best results. We are very happy with how the bags have performed.

I like the thickness of the bags. They shrink nice and tight for a great professional looking package. I think the zip ties that come with it should be thicker. If you pull too hard they will break, but you have to pull hard after you remove the air vent tube to get the excess plastic to cinch down tight enough to keep air from getting in (detailed explanation below if you can't picture what I'm saying). Overall it works great, but I will be using some thicker zip ties on the rest of the bags. So the way this works, you put the bird in the bag head first. Or where the head used to be goes first. Put the tube in the butt end of the carcass and let it stick out of the back. Gather the excess bag and twist it a few time, kind of like a loaf of bread, keeping the tube sticking out and put a zip tie around the bag and tube. Dip the wrapped bird in hot water. Bag shrinks, excess air escapes out the tube. The moment of truth is when you pull the tube out out of the still twisted bag and quickly tighten the zip tie around the gathered, twisted plastic. If it holds, you have a vacuum sealed bird. If you pull too tight, the zip tie will break and you may not have a sealed bag. If you don't pull tight enough, you don't have a sealed bag. If you gently squeeze the bird and hear air hissing through the plastic, you know you don't have a seal.

Ok, first time chicken processor. Had nine birds to take care and didn't dry them off as well as I should have. Bags were easy to use and worked exactly as advertised. We had large Cornish crosses and these bags were perfect. But. Dry your birds. I didn't drain the body cavities perfectly on two. You're supposed to put the hose in the cavity with the end outside the bag to allow the air to escape during dunking/shrinking. If you leave any fluid behind and the end of your tube is in said fluid, it will be rapidly expelled from the hose like a small bloody volcano when the air rushes out of the bag. Lesson learned - my fault, not the product's fault. Dry your birds!
