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 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.

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.

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.

Instructions say to insert straw 1/2 way down into bird but I found that it worked much better if the straw was only 1 to 1 1/2 inches below the zip tie, that way you can see it and see if it has obstructions but the bags worked very well, but I found it very helpful to squeeze as much air out as possible, then put my finger over the end of the straw and hold it until you bag was submerged, hold for a couple seconds then let go, we got much better results that way.!!!

We’ve used these for 5 years and they’re strong, easy to use, and can hold an 8 pound Cornish cross chicken with ease!

IV always used a vacuum sealer to bag my chickens figured I'd give these bags a try and they did not disappoint. they're the best . It saved me hours of vacuum sealing and work. Nice thick bags everything went nice and smooth. Awesome bags and can't really beat the price either

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.

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.

Worked perfectly!! Using straw was easier and cleaner than cutting bag.
