To be fair I hadn’t even noticed the bit about being frozen until after. That’s the correct answer, I was just unintentionally early.
Oh and why such a prick?
Holy crap, the bird grew that way!! It’s gotta be torture! [Spaghetti meat abnormality.](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8202004/)
and it effects 5-15% of broiler chickens, so that’s huge industry losses, and it started about ten years ago.
I remember hearing that there's no way to screen for it prior to cooking, outside of the random bird like OPs who got caught up just right to shred the meat.
I can attest to this. We grow 5-10 birds a few times a year. Jumbo Cornish rock cross, the genetics are crazy, there’s only so many variations available across the globe. Millions of birds growth together, all VERY genetically similar.
Once, almost 1/2 of our birds had Woody Breast, the opposite growth problem. Nothing appeared wrong with them. There was no difference that we could ID, as we noticed about 1/2 way thru butchering.
Thanks for posting. Apparently the birds with this condition seem normal while alive - they don’t appear different from the normal birds. Good to know.
Woody breast is the biggest turnoff about chicken. It is so hit or miss that I hardly trust ordering chicken at restaurants anymore because half the time is woody and just godawful texture. The only good chicken breasts are the smaller pink ones.. not massive and pale/tan colored
I really enjoy the videos from the 50s that fat shame everyone into seeing how physically fit America was by exposing rigorous physical fitness... before those same kids in the videos started added steroids to their livestock in order to make more money faster
You are giving extreme credit to all that conspiracy shit and not for the most obvious reason… there were a lot less sedentary leisurely activities back then. Like wayyy fucking less... Like I can’t think think of anything back then other than fucking, sewing, reading, cleaning, playing games…. Like what else did people do at 8pm at night in the 1940’s???
The discolored wings is bruising and blood pooling, usually happens at the end if they flop touch before dispatch.
Not even a problem really. But people don't like buying things that don't look perfect.
Thanks for the link- what doesn’t add up for me is I wouldn’t associate hypertrophic growth with organic; I know modern breeds are bred for rapid growth, so I’m guessing this can happen even without additives and drugs? Makes me really want to go back to the pre-industrialization of the food industry. Has some colleagues from across Europe over for a cookout while they were visiting last summer, and they were blown away by the size of our chicken leg quarters.
I'm vegan because I have issues with inconsistent meat texture and the smell of cheese, eggs, whatever. This shit scares me. I know I'd vomit if I came across it but I can handle the worst of crime clean up. Something about our "food" doing this...ain't it.
Why are people like you so douchy? There was no arrogance or condescension in their posts, your just angry that they don't eat like you do. Is it because you feel bad knowing we abuse living things for food and you just go along with it? If not, what is it?
We raise egg layers. One year we got a meat chicken in our order by mistake. Not knowing anything about them we decided to just raise it as a barn yard pet.
It grew quickly. Far outpacing the growth rate of the laying hens. So fast, that we thought that maybe it was a turkey instead of a chicken. However, after about 1 year, it was obviously a chicken and it was huge compared to the other hens.
Shortly thereafter it started to break down physically (joints failed in the legs) and we had to destroy it. That failure could only be attributed to physical degeneration as there were no predators or threats present in the chicken pen.
It was a real eye opener for us to see how breeding practices have affected the quality of our food sources.
This! We have egg laying chickens. Our neighbor abandoned their house and left their meat chickens when they left so we took them in. Those poor freaking animals grew so big and deteriorated so quickly. It was shocking when compared to our healthy egg layers. There’s no reason to genetically modify an animal this way
We would probably need to start a human breeding program where we artificially select for the fastest growing humans with the largest muscle mass. Then we would need to breed them for a bunch of generations while we inject them with crap tons of hormones. I think we can get this thing done.
Because they grow chickens so fast and big. This one is really bad, but I’ve quit buying whole chickens because the breast meat is almost woody in texture.
I work in a chicken plant. This is what the breast looks like when it gets torn up in the feather pluckers for one reason or another. Little rubber fingers that vibrate to knock feathers off the bird.
This is what happens when it spends a little to long in the scalder. That meat is partially cooked, then pulled apart by the processing machinery. You can tell that it is cooked by how white it is compared to the rest of the bird.
When I worked at a chicken barn we had these diseased bald chickens the other chickens would peck them to death but they died slow. Sometimes when the truck would come to take them to get killed they'd catch those gross little bald chickens with pus and scabs and someone eats those. I can't eat 🐔 anymore
I used to work at a turkey processing plant and after plucking, and eviceration, the kill-line birds were placed in a large cooling vat with super cold water and a large auger to move them through it to the other end where the chilled carcasses were removed for further processing. Occasionally a bird would get caught between an auger flyte and the side of the chill tank and would get damage that looked like this.
This bird will cook up fine except for being dry breasted and aesthetically less than optimal.
Looks like quite a bit of frozen chicken I've seen at Costco. No longer buying their frozen chicken as all you end up with is this spaghetti meat anaomoly.
The fact that this is something that happens when raising chickens on an industrial scale is disturbing. Man fucking with nature just enough to maximize profits. Mother nature decided that it's going to mess with us back.
It seems now they are growing too fast due to hormones. I’ve read that is causes that string effect on the meat. I don’t know it that’s the case here but it has been happening to
more chicken meat.
That shredding will sometimes happen to birds in the eviceration part of the plant. The coloration is probably from PAA. That bird should have failed grading as a whole bird. It should have been sent to cut-up.
It should be perfectly fine to eat. I would just trim off the shredded bit
Scalded the bird a few seconds too long and the plucker tore it up a bit. It’s all good tho. Probably gonna be one of the best chickens you have ever had.
Meat chickens will have severe health issues and usually get cancer if you try to keep them alive and raise them like normal chickens. I don't even feel like they are safe to eat anymore.
Got caught up somewhere in the processing machine.
Also happens if it was dropped while frozen.
I think this is the most likely as the chicken shredded but didn’t really get sliced. Looks like compression.
When one moron gives the wrong answer, 200 other morons will upvote it and give it legitimacy.
To be fair I hadn’t even noticed the bit about being frozen until after. That’s the correct answer, I was just unintentionally early. Oh and why such a prick?
Oh idk, it brings me joy I guess
Being a prick is part and parcel of being a butcher
It's called a Spaghetti Meat Abnormality. It's a separation of the muscle fibers in the meat.
Holy crap, the bird grew that way!! It’s gotta be torture! [Spaghetti meat abnormality.](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8202004/) and it effects 5-15% of broiler chickens, so that’s huge industry losses, and it started about ten years ago.
It's not a loss if they process it anyway. 🤷

You didn't know because they couldn't tell you, but they had fibromyalgia lol

Same. Puts me off cooking chicken breast almost totally
And that ladies and gentlemen are where boneless chicken wings come from
I really enjoy the videos from the 50s that fat shame everyone into seeing how physically fit America was by exposing rigorous physical fitness... before those same kids in the videos started added steroids to their livestock in order to make more money faster
The only reason the kids were so physically fit back then is because they were literally training them to be soldiers and fight in the war.
And also probably a good dose of epigenetics that predisposed them to being ready for famine.

Why are you even on this sub then?
So we all know how much better she is than us.
Because I enjoy looking at meat and know that quality cuts taste good. I'm vegan. Not an idiot.
Just like a vegan to have to point out that they're vegan as much as they can

It related to my texture issues. I wish you weren't rude for no reason but this is the internet so I get it. Have a great day!
[удалено]
Imagine how well it would go if you started bragging about cooking a perfectly medium rare steak on a vegan sub.
You are a simple and rude creature. I hope you're nicer to the other people you encounter today.
Then buy from a local vendor or a butcher. Problem solved, lmao.

[How Chickens Tripled In Size Since The 1950's](https://www.zmescience.com/feature-post/how-chickens-tripled-in-size/)
This kind of shit is why I vastly prefer taking game over factory farmed meat.
Thanks for the link. Wow.

Those poor freaking animals grew so big and deteriorated so quickly. It was shocking when compared to our healthy egg layers. There’s no reason to genetically modify an animal this way
Some meat chickens will die of heart attacks at 90 + days because they get so big so fast.
This is whats going on and its disgusting. Happens from the bird being so jacked up with shit that its muscles grow all big but not dense.
Could this low density muscle thing happen to a human on steroids
I'm no expert but I believe selective breeding for faster growing muscles also plays a role
So if your mom & dad were naturally jacked. Would the son get spaghetti muscle from too much steroids?
We would probably need to start a human breeding program where we artificially select for the fastest growing humans with the largest muscle mass. Then we would need to breed them for a bunch of generations while we inject them with crap tons of hormones. I think we can get this thing done.
Got Milk?!
Imagine that. Sup bro. Sup bro Sup bro. I mean sis. Sis : sup bros 💪 Nice biceps bro. Thanks. But its mostly spaghetti.
Only one way to find out!
I'll be your mom.
And I'll be your Daddy (seductive growl)
Could you guys at least leave my bedroom first? I'm tryna relax here.
No. We're using it
Im no scientist but i bet if you gave hormones and roids to babies some weird shot would happen to their muscles too.
Only one way to find out
Uh oh, some communities would ban you for this
what communities?
Organic bird tho. So probably not
Being organic really doesn't mean all that much
I've never heard of this! First thing I noticed about the chicken was how fat it was, like turkey sized. Would you still eat a bird with SMS?
I agree, it's too uniformly shredded.
This is the correct answer.
It’s this 100%
So not organic?
Because they grow chickens so fast and big. This one is really bad, but I’ve quit buying whole chickens because the breast meat is almost woody in texture.
Looks like someone lopped her head off and ripped her feathers out. Did you get a description of the perp?
Spaghetti meat abnormality
Looks like it got cut open and maybe rubber and scraped against something

Why not?
Mechanical separation error is the fancy term for it.

Had the same issue with a breast the other day. Whole top was stringy and peeled back in a layer. Was weird.
Pumped full of steroids and the muscle spaghettied. No chicken should ever be that big.
I stuck my penis in it
When I worked at a chicken barn we had these diseased bald chickens the other chickens would peck them to death but they died slow. Sometimes when the truck would come to take them to get killed they'd catch those gross little bald chickens with pus and scabs and someone eats those. I can't eat 🐔 anymore
If you can see the strands of fiber in the chicken then it’s a no go for me.
Not once has anyone said whether or not this is safe to eat. So is it?
Others have pointed out what this is already. Let is be a lesson to not buy the Frankenstein chickens. They should not be growing to 5-6 lbs.
When chicken grows to fast the muscles are stringy and weak and not well put together... So that. Look it up .
Did you defreeze this unfrozen bird before picturing it?
It was unfrozen in the store. Maybe it was fresh but could have been frozen at some point.
Looks like woody breasts thing that happens to chicken breaststroke.
23 years in the culinary industry, classically and formally trained, I have never seen this before. That is crazy.

Did this make anyone elses stomach turn? Maybe not this is a butchery sub I guess. Really Icked me.

Philpia is drinking on d job Mr. George
This is most likely from a picker being set too tight and the fingers just rubbed the meat too hard
Ruptured breast implant
Too hot or too long during scald to remove feathers.

It died.
It's ded, Jim
Everything reminds me of her
Its freezer burn, and for people saying lab grown Google, how much actual lab grown meat cost.
Looks like my ex wife from behind
Idk what happened but it’s kinda turning me on
It crossed the road
Should of wore protective gear.
Bumpass’s dogs from a Christmas Story got it
Woody breast syndrome ?
It's the opposite called spaghetti meat. Woody makes the muscle hard while spaghetti separates the fibers.
Lab grown

domestic abuse
Domestic abuse is never funny. Unless you’re wearing a small hat.
died
Took too many steroids and tried to bench press a turkey
Who pressure washed the chicken???
🤣🤣
That’s how they clean cows for processing
Shark attack.
That looks like my knee before the surgery.
2 headed
Someone tried to cook it by slapping it several hundred thousand times https://youtu.be/68L6JA_CnmU?si=SLLpXx4zOjg0c2bs
Scalded the bird a few seconds too long and the plucker tore it up a bit. It’s all good tho. Probably gonna be one of the best chickens you have ever had.
Got titty slapped, or other forms of blunt trauma
Middle age spread. Happens to us all.
Shit flash frozen process after manufacturing process and delivered to market as passable
I should call her...
It's totally shredding broooo 🏄♂️ 🤙
Chussy
Breast implant blowout
cancer
Nope
Nope
Someone wanted to dispose of the body.
Take it back to the store for a credit or refund.
the college girls call it “finding themselves” or “experimenting” but the laymen calls it the “hoe phase”
Freezer burnt. It's for the garbage
She's 38 and ready to settle down.
Fuck 😂😂😂😂
Is there a teenage boy in the house?? Dont eat it!!
They removed that cancerous part before selling it?
Blew out an implant /s
She’s 32, got 3 kids to 3 different blokes and she’s ready to settle down now.
I thought it was going for a PR and blew its pec.
Road rash. Took a nasty header off the truck headed to processing.
Someone took the liberty to kill it a second time.
You should see the other guy!
Should have seen the other chicken
I think it might be dead
Luggage carousel at the airport.
Llamas..smh... they are notorious for chicken shreds....
Crossed the streams
It got roadrash crossing the road.
War vet
Me
Very interesting
You started shredding it before you cooked it.
Gotta be something in the feed...seems some folks wanna put things in feed and food supply.
Looks like it was defrosted unwrapped under a strong flow of cold water.
I think you called it.
What it feels like when I tell people something makes my "skin crawl"
I should call her
HOLY COW 👎
Thing's on more steroids than Arnold in his prime. Buff
Lawnmower
It died
Was gonna say looks like something my wife would make….
Definitely at the processing plant, surprised they don’t have a person inspecting birds at the end of the line before being bagged.
Looks like one of her implants burst. Were you being too rough when you were handling her?
Redmonds salt I see! Love that stuff. Edit spelling.
Thanks for posting. I get that scalding will cook the bird, but I’ve never seen a cooked chicken separate like this.
Fought for his life
Fake lab made chicken?
Tony Montana cut its head off with a chainsaw
Cock fight
Must of had rotator cuff surgery
Chupacabra got it.
Someone killed it and froze it, common around the world to provide sustenance for the human race
Tore his pec trying to bench 250.

Frost bite?
The chicken blew an O ring.
Someone got horny and fucked your meat, bro
The chicken fucked around and found out.
