when I was younger my parents used to but a bunch of chickens from local farmers. We went on vacation only to come home to a freezer full of like 60 rotten chickens. That was probably the most rancid thing I have ever smelled. Sorry about your luck Jim :sad:

you should think about getting a freezer alarm.

First post ever...
Found this thread rather amusing, so I thought I'd throw in my 2 stinky cents.

A few years back the fellow I was working for (commercial fishermen) had a freezer full of tuna in his garage, he went out on another trip, when he came back (about 6 weeks) we went to re-organize the tuna and somehow the plug was pulled out of the wall. The fish not only turned into a rotting mess, but it went almost entirely liquid and was a pool of disgusting stench in the bottom of the freezer. About 15 tuna in total were lost. It was easily the worst smell I have ever come across. The worst part was that you couldn't put all the fish into bags and throw them out because it was liquified. So we had to drag it, dump it, wash it...that smell stuck around for at least a month.

Dont talk to me about bad smell try and drive a Commercial Garbage truck for a living I can tell you all kinds of bad smell stories :mrgreen:

The worst smell I endured at a job was when I worked at the maple leaf chicken hatchery. Just think of a little grenade filled with the most putrid smelling,vile, half developed,slimy chicken fetus that has been incubated for 3 weeks rotten! These bacteria filled eggs would actually explode if you grabbed them the wrong way! It was pretty sick and I didn't eat eggs for a long time after working there.
