Exactly!,....

I would do the very same thing you mentioned. If they were very cool to the touch like they were in the fridge for only a day or two tops, they are probably okay, but I would DEFINITELY cut some of them open regardless and give a serious sniff to them. If they smelled the least bit "odd", out they would go!

Like you mentioned, the gut content is the very first thing that starts decomposing in an animal, not the flesh!
