Of the nine slow cooker/crockpot books I have, _six_ recommend against
cooking whole fowl (even Cornish game hens) because of safety issues
regarding temperatures.

You aren't saving anything (time, money, or product) by cooking a whole bird
in the slow cooker. Unless you _want_ to get sick, think about an
alternative cooking method.
