I had bought about 5 lbs of free range foster farms chicken thighs and every thigh was covered in feather quills. It was in 4 different packages so I’m not really convinced it was a one off.

I usually buy a different brand and have never had this problem before.

Do you guys usually spend the time to pluck the feathers yourself or just bin it?

    I’ve butchered chickens before, admittedly a long time ago. I’ve never bought chicken with pinfeathers on it still though.

      Then you gotta know, that’s gonna be some good chicken. Don’t chuck it over some feathers…
