Green Muscle Disease
So had a really weird experience this evening, after making a couple of chickens on the rotisserie, when I cut into the breast of the first one it was bright green in the middle. While I discarded that one and checked the second (which was ok), my wife looked it up and it seems to be something called Green Muscle Disease (according to a UK gov site.. https://www.cfs.gov.hk/english/whats..._Chickens.html). Anybody else ever ran into this?Tags: None

According to Dr. Seuss, green eggs with your ham is OK, Tham-I-Am.
A friend of mine read that story to her kids, explaining that the point of the story was not to fear something just because it is different. The next day she put green food coloring in the scrambled eggs, and the kids wouldn't eat them.Last edited by gcdmd; January 18, 2021, 11:01 AM.

gcdmd one year at Thanksgiving many years ago, when my kids were young, my wife got the idea to put green food coloring in the gravy for Thanksgiving dinner! One of my brother in laws wouldn't eat it - the kids thought it was "cool" and everyone else slopped it on their turkey and dressing!

First time I heard of this affliction, so in googled it. This is what I found'
Green Meat in Chickens?
Consumers typically purchase fresh meat products based upon their appearance and attractive, bright colour is very often a consideration for the purchase. However, some chickens are found to have yellowish-green colour in their meat. Is there anything wrong with these green chickens?
The unusual green colour in chicken meat is usually due to a condition known as Green Muscle Disease (or Oregon Disease) which is found in commercially raised broiler chickens. In poultry farming, broiler chickens are kept relatively inactive during the growing period. Consequently, the pectoral muscles (breast muscles) are not exercised enough to increase the efficiency of its circulatory supply. As these muscles in poultry cannot expand in response to physical activity, a short period of sudden and excessive wing flap can compromise the blood supply and lead to degeneration and cell death in the tissue. The affected muscle has a characteristic swollen reddish-brown lesion that later becomes green and shrunken and then pale green, depending upon the time of induction of the vigorous wing exercise.
The lesion does not impair the general health of the chickens and is generally found during cut-up and deboning. The condition is not associated with any infectious or harmful substance and has no food safety concern other than affecting the aesthetic appearance of the meat.
"no food safety concern" don't care, not eating it.

I’m absolutely with you on the not eating it! As we all know, the first thing you eat with is your eyes.

Makes sense. Commercially raised Cornish Cross live a sedentary life, basically grain to flesh machines. They can grow so fast that their legs can't support them and broken legs aren't uncommon. I raised some CC's last year and the only time they flapped their wings was when I grabbed them out of their pen and took them to the killing cone, and it was a lifetimes worth of flapping! It was, however, short lived.
