Does orange skin mean that a raw chicken is not safe for consumption?

It is blotchy orange in spots, and acts like it is a fluid.|||It is fine!


Growing up on a farm, our free range chickens were always yellow/orangy, not the pale appearance of todays sanitary bred, hothouse chickens.


It is has been kept refrigerated, and is not past it%26#039;s Sell By date, and if it smells O.K., use it, make a yummy dinner!|||Toss it now...should be whitish pink and firm.|||%26quot;Color of Skin


Chicken skin color varies from cream-colored to yellow. Skin color is a result of the type of feed eaten by the chicken, not a measure of nutritional value, flavor, tenderness or fat content. Color preferences vary in different sections of the country, so growers use the type of feed which produces the desired color.%26quot;





Here is the site with all the information you will ever need about chicken:

And, yes, I%26#039;ve eaten yellow, blotchy skin chickens, skin and all. In my 60 years on this earth, I%26#039;ve never had a problem with it. Cooks up just as good as any other.|||*shiver*


Ew.


It%26#039;s suppose to be firm, the lightest shade of salmon pink. You actually are not suppose to have spots, and only fluid that%26#039;s suppose to be in there is the left over [chicken juice? LOL] in the package.


:)|||don%26#039;t like the sound of it, usually orange skin chicken means that it is not a battery hen but rather free range
