How long should a bird keep on ice? On my out of state trip, got one Saturday and 1 today. Didn't plan to go home until Wednesday but can leave tomorrow if needed. Any help appreciated.

You will be fine, just keep it in ice and keep the water drain off...Wild game keeps a lot long that other meats..

Quarter up, put in ziplocks, "pack" in ice. Good to go for a week. Get home, portion out and freeze ;)

I might not push it a week - but I'd definitely breast it out, 1/4 up wings / legs, bag, & ice.

[Congrats, by the way!]

Yeah why not just breast them out and save the cooler room for beer?
