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 can’t speak for OP but the only time I waste here is my employers time or time I’m also spending on the toilet. Plucking feathers from chicken instead durring either situation wouldn’t be ideal.
