Well I have every ailment known and that stuff looks real healthy to me. Think birds is why the Good Lord gave us Rotesses..they just made for it. Now my professional chicken posing on the spit rod mentor..say the chicken in the back needs to be sniffing of the other chickens butt. Looks like yours are bumping heads..lol. Splits with good clamp baskets work great too. Really better than whole birds..but more work. Which Rotessing is a lot of work. Thats why I dont do it often..lol. Good job!
